This is no longer insurance. Forcing insurance companies to cover everyone ensures costs go through the roof and make healthcare unusable. I do not know what planet you live on but my health insurance went from about $5,000 per year to $18,000 per year and I am totally healthy.
I have dropped out and prefer to pay the penalty and get far superior healthcare from Mexico. There are clinics of American doctors right across the border that are so far above anything you can get here that it is disgraceful.
I actually get 90 minutes of consultation with my internist where we talk about what is going on with me. I also get a cardiologist and a urologist and MRI an ultrasound and a 300 value blood test for $2500.
If I wanted that level of healthcare here I’d have to spend over $20,000 because the insurance would not pay for it.
Obamacare is total crap and designed to be run like the VA where people are conveniently sidelined and killed off.
America’s healthcare system is completely out of control.
We need to end it, or fix it.
One or the other. Either we fix it, and make it affordable for everyone.
Or else we need to get the government completely out of it.
I’m really not concerned with which choice is taken, I’m aok with the government ensuring everyone is covered.
Or I’m fine with government getting completely out of it, and opening the entire system up to complete competition. And I mean getting out completely.
That means we stop the government from doing anything about healthcare. Get it completely out of the entire business. Out of requiring who can practice what. Out of deciding what students must study for what licences. Completely out of the entire business.
Either one.
