    I realise it was NOT what Obama actually wanted. In fact it was mostly “romneycare” repackaged. Obama settled on the compromise as a way of increasing coverage for all

    The American healthcare system has been broken for decades

    So if democrats get back in office, i can count on some decent health insurance?
    Pretty funny how you try to pass the buck. It's Obama's signature legacy.

    No just like to be accurate

    Political death in any country with a UHC is to attempt to remove it

    Good for you.

    We chose to keep our population healthy and productive. And all those people facing bankruptcy from health debt? They are our “grey nomads” travelling the country in motor homes spreading the kids inheritance and stimulating the rural economy

    Well, I finally got some good news. I got an ultrasound of my kidneys today, the right one is no longer swollen, no more stones were seen and a very attractive lady did the ultrasound. I found the procedure, relaxing, asides from the cold gel.

    How can that be cheaper than a 2% levy on your income?

    Point is, it's not. When your population is around 350 million, it's different than a less populated country. You only have what, 27 million?

    But other more densely populated countries manage

    In fact or should be MORE efficient to have a UHC if you have a greater population density

    So why dont we? Wasn't the ACA supossed to be that? Obama had full reign over it.
    It would literally cost about 40% of our monthly income, just to insure me alone, with the lowest level of care available. My ultrasound today was 60$ and I was surprised it was not 500 or so.
