Who pays, and you should get what you pay for. Unless you are massively disabled or elderly, the public had no requirement to have the general public pay or cut rate your cost.

The ACA had massive government contributions that were artificial that went away this year. It died this year.

Yep.

The liberal motto is
"give me yours, someone else's and that other person's...you know, the one over there.

Nice try.

It's posters like you (and your ilk) who will ensure Trump gets a solid 8 years in office.

Yep.

And they want someone else to pay for it.

Why have folks lost their insurance (when told they wouldn't) and have to pay more (when told they wouldn't) and have to find different Physicians that took "Obamacare" (when Obama said we could KEEP our doctors).

The fish stunk from the head and OBAMA was/is the head.

Yet you still defend his BS.

Can't get much more pathetic than that.

America's healthcare system sounds complicated.

You can afford those wars in the Middle East, so you should be able to afford a decent healthcare system that covers everyone. Private insurance can be an additional option.

So people who don't have insurance only get health care via the emergency room, which is far more expensive and drives up costs for everyone. Great.

And that minor detail of humanitarianism. It is amazing how pro-lifers are so excited about protecting fetuses, but once that fetus turns into a human it is like - well you should get better parents, a better neighborhood or a better job - you shouldn't think society should help.

The US is too poor a country to afford that.

Do tell what country you live in...

So we can compare it all.
