For all those blaming Republicans (none of whom voted FOR Obamacare), why do you think King O left the corrupt system in place and simply imposed cost shifting on it?
Why is it that we spend more per capita on healthcare than pretty much anyone else on the planet and still get inferior/mediocre results for it? How can such a status quo be considered "good" by some people?
It's all about profit for corporations good sir! They bought the government, now they make you bend over and take whatever they decide you must pay!

Partisanship aside, it's all about protecting special interests, else no one would have voted for it.
Protecting the interests of 50 different state insurance commissions and their appointments
Protecting the American Hospital Association
Protecting Big Pharma
Protecting medical devise manufacturers
Protecting malpractice litigation...........
How much pork does it take to get anything, done in DC beyond naming a post office?
If not to mention they dont maintain militaries

pull our troops out of the rest of the world and let them secure their own
safety, security and sovereignty
GPs used to be upper middle class in America. I know this because it wasn't that long ago and I remember. Now they think they should be rich. So long as that is the case, healthcare will remain unaffordable and will bankrupt the country.
Dr salaries aren't driving health care costs. To the extent you think they are the only thing that can be done is reduce their costs or expand the supply. Americans don't have that priority though, we would prefer to import the family of immigrants and let illegals stay... Most other countries don't let you in unless you are qualified and can contribute to society.
My gf is actually going in to medicine and her expected tuition before any grants and scholarships for just medical school is around $350,000 and that is in addition to undergrad coursework and a residency requirement.
On the other hand I just have an undergrad and master's degree to get and no malpractice insurance to cover. Just going off national averages she will gross more than me, but will likely net the same.
