As more insurance companies drop out of obamacare, there won’t be much left, but I haven’t heard any actual solutions yet. No, “tax the rich” isn’t a solution, it’s a way of ignoring the problem.
The Republicans may have failed to replace and repeal, which they would have liked because failure to do that makes their low information voters believe they lost. But, they will kill it with budget cuts, executive orders, all the tools that Democrats would have used to save and improve it. They have been using those tools to save the New Deal programs- Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, etc for decades. Now, the Republicans will use those tools to attack those programs too. After all, tax breaks for the rich have to be paid for somehow.
Better than The County Clinic. (I’ve seen people brought in or taken away by cops, restrained by “nice young men in their clean white coats”, and run off the property. Thankfully we have a doctor with an office now.
We all believe that we need a more equitable, effective and affordable healthcare system and all of us love to add our insights into the matter. But why do we not seem to care as much about the obvious need for a more equitable and effective JUSTICE SYSTEM? Presently justice is served to the ones who can afford the best lawyers, truth and reality be dratted.
So do not expect justice from the legal system. There is a reason why it is called the CRIMINAL justice system.
My premiums when the ACA came in were the lowest increases in decades, from an average of 15% down to 1 and 2% for two example years, and now I can get self and spouse, not “self and family”, which cut our total premiums by $3,500!! And yes, I kept my providers, but we’re in a small town with limited numbers. Trump’s proposal may shut down our hospital that has been growing and improving with the ACA!!
“There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year-old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

A society is not measured by how it treats it’s rich but it’s measured by how it treats its vulnerable

So screwed indeed. Good healthcare and capitalism rarely, if ever, coexist peacefully.

The most expensive healthcare system in the world, with the biggest health gap between the very rich and the poor (15 years)

Because we all need healthcare, sooner or later. But most of us never see the inside of a courtroom, and therefore don’t care what goes on there.

There are two writers that can inform a person’s opinions, Paul Krugman and Isaac Asimov.
One writes fantasy works about robots who obey specific laws and act predictably, even if they accidentally discover humanity within themselves.
The other writes science fiction.
