    My private insurance was Kaiser and they had a 30 minute limit.

    While I respect your opinion, you have not taken our record levels of illness into account. As tax payers are being forced to subsidize much of what is making people sick, then being forced to subsidize the pharm products that mask symptoms so they can stay sick, what you are proposing is not sustainable. The only sustainable solution would involve prevention and removing subsidies for products that make people sick. Who is going to stand up to the food and drug industry? Who is running the FDA?

    no they didn't.
    of course it's sustainable. Literally every other first world country does it.
    I have no problem with this. ALL subsidies to private businesses need rescinded.

    That is not a valid argument. (In bold) The level of illness in the US is why this is an issue in the first place. 1 in 3 Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic. Our record levels of illness is not the result of a a pharm product deficiency. You may have the best of intentions, but ignoring the cause of illness while making people work themselves to death to pay to treat it, will never result in a healthier population.

    The difficulty Medicaid subscribers have is documented son. You can't change it by arguing.

    They do not have difficulties. They are seen by doctors and hospitals all across the nation.

    MEDICAID INSURES MORE than 70.5 million Americans, according to the most recent report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Largely low-income health care consumers, these patients have had a notoriously difficult time finding physicians to treat them, and in a reasonable amount of time.

    It's not debatable.

    Many employers keep most employees at part time hours so they dont have to pay into health care.

    Of course it’s debatable. They are not refused care at any hospital.

    Sorry, don't expect an answer. It's not included in the talking points memo.
