"My healthcare is a little overpriced, but we are happy with our coverage." Lucky you, hope you can keep it. But when your luck runs out, perhaps you will understand how bad our healthcare system does suck for millions of Americans. And it's not just the insurance industry at fault...tort reform, drug companies, hospitals...all need to be changed.
"About 28 million people in this country have no health insurance (eight out of ten of these are workers or their dependents)., and another 38 million have inadequate health insurance." linklink1, link2
"66.5 percent of all bankruptcies were tied to medical issues. An estimated 530,000 families turn to bankruptcy each year because of medical issues and bills." link3
"Over three-quarters of all full-time workers are living paycheck to paycheck, according to a report from jobs site CareerBuilder. Just 40 percent of Americans are able to cover an unexpected $1,000 expense with their savings." link4
Each with their own forms. Each with their own employees. Each with their own fees. Each with their own deductibles. Each with their own coverage restrictions.
Yep. That sounds cost effective.
It is that way thanks to the government regulations!!!
Exactly. Someone else also wondered (perhaps in another thread) how did Obama divide us. The ACA hit the middle class hard—higher copays, premiums and deductibles. For the working poor and low end of the middle class, it’s a great law. For the rich, a nothing burger. They can afford to pay.
Obama divided us by class lines; I always thought the Democrats were for the middle class but that law ignored us.
And obama granted over 200 "exemptions" mostly to the unions But, Trump does things for political gains!
And almosr every working American saw their health insurance premiums jump even higher following that plan.
And they were going up every year before the ACA, and they continue to go up. They won't come down until until congress does something to prevent greed by the pharmaceutical/insurance industries, and to change the industry to "not for profit".

It is truly mind blowing how many defenders there are for the US' ridiculously bad health scare system......
The largest economy in the world can't provide healthcare but has trillions for 20 year wars to blow up goat herders in the middle East. This is the decline of American hegemony because we flushed it all down the toilet on moronic adventures abroad. We are now England around 1910.
