The biggest health problem in the US is lifestyle.

It's like blaming your car insurance because your engine blew due to you never changing the oil.

Fat people eating processed foods while sitting on their asses all day is the actual health crisis.

The FDA is more concerned about their power than the people.

We have catastrophic coverage, and use our HSA to fill in the amount upto where the cat coverage kicks in. This is the way its done in many other Country's.

We had coverage for our entire lives until the ACA scam came along. Then, Aetna booted us saying "our policy failed to conform to ACA", so we self-insured using our sizeable HSA's, and other assets. We went bare for 3 years until Trump started undoing ACA. Thanks to Trump, we have insurance coverage again, which is exactly the same coverage we had pre-ACA except this is a "temporary" policy lasting 2 years. We have to renew each 2 years...until Trump undoes that too.

Obama had a more negative influence on our lives than ANY other President, and it's not even close. I doubt we will ever vote for any Democrat ever again. There are no more Kennedy Democrats any more. They are all way too far Left for our liking.
I never hated anyone as much as i did Obama and Roberts.

Well thwres a ton of issues in the coubtry regarding health. Not all of it is the individuals control. But it should not bankrupt someone to get help.

Old system was horrible, ACA poorly executed but it was a step in the right direction.

That sounds a lot like, "Car insurance should cover blown engines that haven't been maintained."
