Single payer is the most common health insurance system in the world.

And most of the countries that have it spend less on health care than we do.

It can and does work fine when done right. And a national system would obviously be different than a single state.

Have you been to Europe? I have relatives in Europe, U.K. to be specific. While they have health care free, they have no jobs. The people I know are much poorer than USA, yes the educated ones like doctors. Thanks but no thanks.

LOL. I know. And Obamacare depended on the young buying healthcare insurance to subside everyone else. That didn't happen. Young socialist aren't so socialist when the money comes out of their pockets.

They need to go live in Europe. People live in tight quarters, like rats, this is why there are so many sidewalk cafes, they can't bare to go home. It's depressing.

Just saw an article about it today.

So tell me. When we didn't have obamacare, the poor people waited in the ER and wasted resources in other ways. Hospitals survived, but our premiums were much much much lower.
The irony is they STILL go to the ER. I know first hand. Every assumption turned out to be false. They said individual mandate helps spread the cost over many healthy people. What happened?

Americans are spoiled. I've been to France and Italy and they live in super small places that are just apartments. My first apartment was bigger than what they live in.

I went to this little shop and when we walked in the lights were out. They waited until a customer came to turn on the lights to save electricity. I was with a guy who left from Cuba (don't know his full story) but that visit is when my eyes opened up to what it is like to live in socialism. It was a real eye awakening to how spoiled we Americans are.

As I read these insane rates people have to pay under Obamacare, makes me appreciate my government benefits more and more each day.
Trump said he wants to do away with it, Hillary wants to keep it.
Vote Trump and let him fix it.
