The solution for healthcare that will never be instituted

No. Just you guys. Clinton left behind a surplus that could have paid the debt off by 2010, but you passed the Bush Tax Cuts and took a record budget surplus in 2000 and turned it into four record deficits by 2009, while doubling the debt.
Getting on Obama's case for the growing debt is bullshit too because he was handed a trillion-dollar deficit from you guys, an economy in Recession thanks to your shitty policies, tax cuts that starved revenue and erased the budget surpluses, a prescription drug plan that wasn't paid for, and an endless war in the middle east you all were so determined we wage.
Obama left behind a smaller deficit than the one he inherited. No Republican President since 1980 can claim that accomplishment.
America's healthcare is THE WORST among all industrialized nations. The morons of the right want to think that it is better than it is...and want to think that "government" is the reason it is not better.
That is because the morons of the right...
...are MORONS.

Tax cuts grow the economy that grows government tax receipts.
Which is everything.
All the ACA did was mandate that all insurance plans offered in the states meet the minimum 14 basic requirements. That's it.
What do you think an Insurance Commissioner does?

Well hell then, you shouldn't have any problem naming just one, right?
Funny enough, Medicare and Medicaid have higher patient satisfaction ratings than all forms of private insurance.
In fact, the only "insurance plan" that has a higher rating is veteran's health care.
Americans With Government Health Plans Most Satisfied
Americans' satisfaction with the way the healthcare system works for them varies by the type of insurance they have. Satisfaction is highest among those with veterans or military health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid, and is lower among those with employer-paid and self-paid insurance. Americans with no health insurance are least satisfied of all.

Not at all. You can get an insurance plan that is portable...the reason most don't is because each state regulates health insurance differently.
Again, do you know what an Insurance Commissioner does?
So you seem to want a state-based regulated insurance market that is portable across state lines? That is cognitive dissonance, dude. You can't have that because it is a contradiction.

BULLSHIT FRANKIE!!!!!! America's healthcare system is ranked 27 out of over 200 countries. The "healthcare" isn't our problem, our "HEALTH INSURANCE IS!!!!!!!!!!!
No they haven't. Where are you getting this bullshit? You're just making it up as you go.
Providers accept new Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance patients at nearly the same rate (72%/67% vs. 80%).
Why are you making shit up?
Let me ask you a question...say you go in for an appendectomy, but the surgeon accidentally removes your leg. Do you think it's fair to have your compensation capped?
Actually, most providers prefer the system of Medicare and Medicaid, and many insurers base their practices billing on Medicare/Medicaid.
No, they're dipping into their trusts because of the onslaught of Boomers entering retirement. The Boomers are the largest generation to enter retirement ever. But I have some news for you; people don't live forever, and those Boomers are going to die off.
When they do, we will spend less on Medicare.
Unless...you think people live forever...do you...think that?
This is your bias, informed by 40 years of Conservative propaganda that says "government is the problem", then Conservatives get elected and prove it.
If you want better government, stop voting for people opposed to it as an institution.

The reason is insurance corporations grease the campaign coffers of federal politicians so they keep "COMPETITION" from other states non-existent.
Apparently you don't!!! You seem to NOT KNOW that they grease the campaign coffers of the duopoly politicians!!!
I doubt you could even explain that bullshit!!!
Robo...stop the bullshit.
Among the industrialized nations...AMERICA RANKS DEAD LAST.
In almost every metric...American fare worse than other industrialized nations.
Take a look at infant mortality...or life expectancy.
Look at costs.
Our actual "problem" are the disgusting morons of the right...fighting reasonable changes in healthcare availability.
You are part of that group, right?
it's not control over health care...it's control over the mechanism that reimburses your provider for the care they give you.
To this day, you have not been able to give one clear reason why there must be a profit motive tied to the administration of benefits.
Also, an insurance company controls your health care; they control what doctor you can see, what hospitals you can go to, what treatments you can get, what drugs you can be prescribed. And you pay them as much as a 20% premium for them to deny you choice.

I'd like to have the best government reduced to the size and scope the founders envisioned and loyal to our Constitution. But I trashed that dream many moons ago!!!!
