It’s time to guarantee healthcare to all Americans as a human right--Sen. Sanders

Nordberg said:
Were you in grade school when it was passed? Obamacare was never about universal healthcare. It was about providing healthcare to the people who had none. They were too poor or fell through the cracks. It opened clinics in poor neighborhoods. It forced hospitals to treat people who came into the emergency. It removed lifetime coat limits. It stopped insurance companies from refusing to insure some people. It allowed children to stay on their parent's policies until age 25.
It saved a lot of people. People who never had regular medical care could get it.

Since its enactment on March 23, 2010, the Affordable Care Act has led to an historic advancement of health equity in the United States. This landmark law improved the health of all Americans, including women and families, kids, older adults, people with disabilities, LGBTQI+ and communities of color.

About 12 million people enrolled from the 33 U.S. states that use the online marketplace funded by the federal government and about 4 million people from states that sell the insurance directly to their residents.
 
More than 16 million Americans signed up for Obamacare health insurance for 2023, a jump of more than 12% over last year and the highest since the Affordable Care Act was signed 13 years ago, the U.S. government said on Wednesday.

We've made record-breaking progress in expanding coverage and lowering health care costs for American families, saving them money and giving more Americans the peace of mind that comes with affordable health insurance

How fucking stupid are you? Emergency rooms could never turn down anyone. And still cannot. Where do you think all those fucking illegals are going? Dumb fuck. On top of that Obamacare has left 10's of millions of the poorest and most needy in this country without health insurance. Those that it was supposed to help. Seriously you uneducated democrat fuck, STFU.

How much of a liar are you, My wife was in an emergency room and the person in the curtain next to us was being sent away because they did not accept her insurance. They were making calls to other hospitals to see if they would see her. Do you really believe all the crap they feed you? Pile on the childish insults. That is all you have. The rule is they have to stabilize someone. They ship them out if they want to.

Let’s be clear. The current healthcare system in the United States is totally broken, dysfunctional and cruel. It is a system which spends twice as much per capita as any other major country, while 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured, one out of four Americans cannot afford the cost of the prescription drugs their doctors prescribe, and where over 60,000 die each year because they don’t get to a doctor on time.

It is a system in which our life expectancy is lower than almost all other major countries and is actually declining, a system in which working-class and low-income Americans die at least ten years younger than wealthier Americans.

It is a system in which some 500,000 people go bankrupt because of medically related debt.

It's broken and dysfunctional primarily because government is increasingly involved in it. More government isn't the solution to getting quality healthcare at a reasonable price.
 
God forbid that we would actually fix our deeply broken medical system, all we do is shovel more money towards it as the government takes over more and more control.
 
As the government takes over more control the system works less and less well. During COVID we were flat out abused, and tens of thousand at least died who should not have, who would not have had we not been betrayed by the medical workers, to include the doctors who did what they were told by bureaucrats rather than practice medicine.
 
I saw recently that almost everyone who was put on a ventilator over the first few months died, this was obviously a bad idea at the jump but these fuckers kept doing it for months.

Have you checked the wait times in America and American hospitals you naz?.
Well, over half the bankruptcies in America have a huge medical component.
People who want to start a business have the problem of going without or paying a ton to insure themselves. They risk a disaster if they get sick or have an accident. If they prosper, they have to pay for employees' health insurance. It inhibits new businesses.
Every business in America that sells across the borders, has to compete with having to pay for and service healthcare.
Millions of Americans cannot afford healthcare.
Universal healthcare is cheaper and better.

Universal healthcare is neither cheaper nor better. In the UK, it's breaking the economy.

The NHS crisis - decades in the making
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-64190440

Here in the US, where government run healthcare already exists, it is hit and miss in quality, often of poor quality, rationed in what services it will provide, and has execrable and excessive wait times.

The whole problem began with FDR and wage and price controls in WW 2. If that hadn't happened, health insurance would not have come to be how we pay for healthcare and the costs would be substantially lower.

When you start wishing people dead, that is when a phenomena known as KARMA kicks into overdrive, and you fall victim to your own hatred.

You may want to be more careful about what you wish for.

Try to control your hatred of others as hatred itself can even kill you.

Experiences of hate are associated with poor emotional well-being such as feelings of anger, shame, and fear. Moreover, victims tend to experience poor mental health, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and suicidal behavior.

Hatefulness can overcome your ability to use common sense or be able to reason and lead to a death wish. It can even lead you here.....

And then hatred can backfire on you and others will reject your hatred in ways that you are going to regret....
