Don't wanna stomp on the OP or drag off-topic. I thought you were about identifying why healthcare is not affordable in the US, particularly when compared to other Countries. Imho, this piece identifies some root or underlying causes:

A few short clips from:



Why Do Other Rich Nations Spend So Much Less on Healthcare?

This is the kind of exchange I can appreciate. The constant partisan bickering is exactly how the government keeps the public distracted while they push their own agenda. Unfortunately I don't see an end to it.

I have to admit, they really know their audience. Appealing to emotion seems to be the gift that keeps on giving.

The lazy and unmotivated among us have had fair warning to find a paying job and carry their own weight.

Government provided healthcare is a non-starter.

To those on the Left, there is zero chance of overcoming obstacles like me. We outnumber you in several ways!
You have the power right now, why can't you make change. Oh wait, you cannot because the republicans want to pass based policy that hurts their constituents.

American stupidity just hit a new low.. Reading through the posts from the Obama haters it's easy to see this isn't about possessing knowledge, no, this is simply about hate and little else. I hope the Republican party can see their way clear to ousting the Donald, he's a terrible part of all the divisive distractions currently helping to ruin a once great nation. I'm no fan of Obama but at the least the man had a ton of charm when compared to this current sorry SOB running America into the ground.

Nah...Trump supporters won't do any of those things. We are just hella grateful Hillary is not in charge....The left treats the right as if they believe the conservatives are zombies, going out in the fields at night and chewing intestines, blindly stumbling through the dark...

Enjoy the movie:
