Because we do it completely wrong. We spend more on health coverage with poorer results than most anywhere else in the country. Since I am too young for Medicare concerns, I would likely get major surgeries in another country where the prices are considerably cheaper. Let Republicans pay $200K for a heart bypass. Watching seniors buy insurance policies should be entertaining though.

You people lost big time mainly because of your view of healthcare. Deal with it.

You seem to be yelling. Calm down. You'll get to see how adults write laws!

So this is what Republicans wanted? To end Medicare and end health coverage and send everyone out to try to buy a policy again? I mean - congratulations if that's what they wanted.

You want to eliminate Medicare, Social Security and the minimum wage though, so you clearly are a fringe social darwinist like the Koch brothers. The only difference is that they would actually benefit massively from a social darwinist society unlike Joe Schmoe.

Yes, get parasite insurance companies, drug companies and their billion dollar lobby army out of health care and create a national health care system like every other country in the world has. Not hand over the keys to health care policy to a bunch of billionaires who will work for their own interests.

No, but instead to offer reasonable coverage at far lower prices, w/o including in the most basic plan everything under the sun. Keep it basic, the kids will buy it, that keeps it solvent, unlike ACA.


Your radical left team lost. They deserved to. Deal with the adults taking charge again.

What are you talking about, I was not even responding to you at all.

If privatizing Medicare is how adults write laws, then this should be interesting for everyone.

Yes. Get out your checkbook and pay your own way.

Translation: I know how to function in real life, unlike liberals.
