    It should not be tied to a job.

    It’s not easy to be rich and successful, but it’s insanely easy to not be poor and impoverished.

    Having a kid before marriage, irrelevant. Having a kid when you’re a high school drop out with no skill. Have fun living in government housing.

    It’s not. It’s just an easy way to get health coverage.

    Since you cannot spell Trump I doubt you have a plan either, but things are a lot better now than they where under Obama.

    That says it all.

    You mean affordable.
    But the great recession saw many of those type jobs go away. And insurance companies were kicking ppl off individual plans with no hope of getting new coverage because for profits didn't make as much profit.

    So that means he has no plan. Or you don't know it?
    Has nothing to do with my correct spelling of tRUMP.

    I am not the prez who promised a great new plan if elected.

    Not universal coverage, as you claimed.

    No, I think you are deliberately lying.

    A higher percentage of Americans have smart phones, internet, and cable tv than health insurance. Health care is affordable if it’s a priority.

    Doctors don’t work for free, hospitals aren’t naturally occurring rock formations, and x ray machines don’t draw electricity from the air.

    Health care costs money.

    I agree with this, but cancer and diabetes are a result of lifestyle choices more often than not.

    Canada has 1/10 the population of America which is why it works well there. It wouldn't work here. .I wish it could

    Japan has national health care and it’s a nation of over 100 million.

    Is there a cutoff where national healthcare is no longer feasible? I ask this as a staunch opponent of it.

    It cannot work in the USA because the right wing considers universal health care to be socialism.

    agree with that too, but sadly the government dietary recommendations can lead to those issues, and many follow them, if they do get the diseases, having access to health care would potentially increase life expectancy - but yes, preventive actions are always the best solution, with that we agree

    Do 44% million not paying federal income tax? Does EVERYONE in Japan pay into the system no matter what? In the U.S. a little less than 1/2 of the population don't really pay for the services they use, when it all comes down to it. If you're poor, all you're paying is sales tax for the most part and local property taxes. That's about it. Far too many aren't really paying their fair share for anything.

    Too many leechers in this country for it to work. You would have way more using it than contributing to it.

    Obamacare is just a band-aid. The real issue is the level of sickness. Americans are fatter and sicker than ever and you and I are being forced to make and keep them that way. Pharm products do not make people healthier.

    I'm sure you would know.

    https://www.globalresearch.ca/swiss-magazine-reports-first-5g-injuries-geneva/5684233

    There are many others who have written about it, including college professors and informed individuals.

    You and the paid-for NYT say there is no threat. I know from years that NYT is full of propaganda, corporate and government.

    Now I'm learning about you.
