All hail the greatest health-care system in the world ladies and gentleman. I will wait here and see which individuals will claim that the free market would solve this......and then ill laugh at them.

And this is why I have a problem with the ACA, it didn't go far enough!!!!!

The idea that the free market can solve our healthcare problem is laughable at best. Just look to other countries who have universal care. They all do it for a fraction of the cost we do it. I agree with the OP, the ACA did not go far enough. You know it's funny how conservatives like to tout "a majority of Americans don't like the ACA..." What they won't tell you is the reason that majority is not happy with it is BECAUSE it didn't give us universal healthcare. That's what a majority of Americans want. We will have it despite conservative resistance.

Conservatives live in a fantasy world when it comes to healthcare.......you try to show them the success of universal health care and they plug their ears and go lalalalalala I can't hear you, it's really sad

No, you will not "have it." If you want government run healthcare so badly, move to Massachusetts or one of those socialist hell-holes you seem to love so much.

In the US the US Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, and it specifically prohibits the federal government from involving itself in our healthcare issues. Which is why ObamaCare will be repealed and why no further attempts to turn the US into a Marxist hell-hole will be forthcoming.

Just watch us. You can't stop it Glitch. Too many people are already on board.

Medicare is doing quite well constitutionally so I conclude from that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

It is all because you have a middle man taking care of you, not the doctor.


The better way is to get rid of doctors filing the insurance. That would lower the cost by the doctor not having to staff 20 people just to handle the insurance paperwork.

It would get insurance out of the middleman position.

Obamacare was only about subsidized health insurance.
Nothing more.

Did you think otherwise ?

Do you really think government with the roll out they did can run healthcare/just the cost to convert to buy medical facilities would be huge. Think of the line waiting for care with their red tape.
