That's exactly what will halt and cure coronavirus. Government got out of the way by letting private labs do what the FDA had been forbidding until this last week. Basically, less government will end up solving what more government couldn't.

We were doing better before Obama tried to “fix” the system. Two years ago Trump and the Republicans tried to repeal and replace failing Obamacare but none of you obstructionist Democrats would vote for it.

I heard that if you earn too much, you can lose your disability.

The healthcare system in America is a complete joke.
Ah... Medicaid. There's your problem. US Fed Gov health care. Get used to it. The lefties want even more of that.

Probably because if they don't monitor all of these people then some may commit suicide and then the family socks the doctors, drug companies, hospitals, insurance company and whomever else they can find for millions of dollars (each).

Everyone wants cadillac healthcare they just don't want to pay for it.

I'm not even against making some changes to our healthcare system at all.

I just think that you probably haven't seen all of the sides of the situation yet in your experience.

P.S. What do you think a doctor pays for malpractice insurance each year in a place like Miami (this is just the doctor, not the hospital or drug companies etc.) in specialties like ER or Ob/Gyn?

Spoiler
$200,000 or so

You get disability for ADHD and you're complaining??????

So you pretty much get everything free. Please. Most others have to pay out the backside.

If you have to ask Mom about everything, you probably dont really know anything about healthcare.
