Quote:You bring up many other points/topics that I suspect that we might be in agreement on, at least some of them.

 

However, getting back on topic for this thread, I'll throw this out there.  Obamacare is a complete and udder failure.

Probably yes. 

 

I am mixed on the whole thing. On one hand I, like many others were upset it did nothing to attack the real problem with healthcare costs at all the costs are the same or higher for most people that could already afford insurance and those costs will continue to increase because that's how our current medical system works. It's about making money so it will always seek to make more money. On the other hand, I like that people can't be declined for coverage for reasons they could have been before. I also like that many people that could not get coverage now can and in absurdly high numbers. Really the good things could have been done without the bad things. The problem was as always, money got involved and we have the current system that benefits only insurance carriers, pharma etc.. and to a lesser extent the poor benefiting from subsidized premiums. 

 

Many potential solutions to the problem. Single payer, heavier more common sense regulation on the costs... I do no know what the solution is but it's clear the ACA is not the be all end all.
