This issue is the underlying cost of healthcare in the U.S.

The plethora of healthcare lobbies make certain Congress acts to protect their interests, come hell or high water.

It has not made a difference who sat the oval or held the majority.

Excuse me. I thought this was a thread about Universial Healthcare. Instead , it's just another " your party stinks like a big poo- poo" thread.

What was I thinking?

I support UHC but recognize this as an absolute fact. We can not afford UHC (even ending the wars) unless we address all aspects of health care which neither party is willing to do. Everyone is going to have to lose something for all to get something.

Personally I feel that the fixes towards pre-existing conditions were well worth the costs of the ACA.

It might be easier than you think. Medicare today has a very good idea of health care costs and has established rates for the medical procedures (which, in total, are very comprehensive) that they cover.
