Until recently, we were not forced to buy insurance. Now the lawyers control it all.

But healthcare has been broken for many years before Obamacare. Before insurance, people didn’t go bankrupt like they have since insurance. Last time I looked, the stats said 50% of bankruptcy was from medical costs.

If we hadn’t fallen off the cliff with healthcare costs, Obamacare would have never even been a thought.

Healthcare insurance costs have become absurd in this country. I pay a fortune at work for it, yet still have a big deductible and a large out of pocket line.

Make Congress have to live with the same healthcare coverage as the rest of us and it would be fixed in a week.

It’s been a while since government did not control health insurance though.

There’s been a continuous creep toward health insurance being a Pre-payment plan instead, with actual health insurance being slowly outlawed. In many states that happened a couple of decades ago.
