Best healthcare in the world if you can afford it. How many millions of Americas had insurance 10 years ago but don't today?

How many people had good insurance 10 years ago but today their insurance sucks?

Let me let you in on a little secret. Remember when the majority of your insurance was paid by you and your company and when you went to the doctor it was relatively inexpensive? The insurance companies are, as I'm sure a lot of you know, moving to the new system. YOU pay $3000 out of pocket if you are single and $6000 if you are a couple FIRST and then the insurance company kicks in after that.

And you would think this new way would be A LOT cheaper monthy than the old way but its actually more expensive. Se we are paying a HUGE monthly fee just to have insurance, that doesn't even kick in until you max out. What fucking coverage is that?

At least Obama made them give preventative care and annual checkups for free.

The Healthcare companies are gobbling up too much of our GDP. No wonder no one is buying any boats, cars, jewelry, etc. We're all saving up for the next time we get sick.

P.S. People who don't have insurance are costing each of us an extra $1000 a year. I say that's justification for the mandate.

Plz source the bill that made competition illegal. Oh wait you're justispewing bullshit and refuse to actually post realize it because youa re so hepatic you are unable emotional to accept that you are wrong and stupid. How sad I pray for you.
IF competition is illegal good thing we now have Obamacare which forces competition,
but weird you hate obamacare.
So you're flip-flopper int he tune of Mitt romney. In one paragraph you go form
calling competition the greatest thing ever and in the next you bash it like its the devil

The U.S. leads industrial countries in the portion of the health-care dollar devoted to processing claims and paying providers, the Commonwealth Fund said.

Private-insurance administrative costs in the U.S. are 12.7 cents of a dollar, and as high as 18 cents for some companies, said Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund. Government plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, spend 5.8 cents excluding costs of private drug plans, she said. In Canada 4.2 cents is spent on administration.

“If we lowered our administrative costs to that of the lowest three countries with mixed public-private health-care systems, we could save $50 billion a year,” Davis said. “This would go a long way toward financing coverage for the uninsured.”

So how does "EdwardBaiamonte," in his conservative world, explain why the lowest healthcare administrative costs are not in the US, but in Canada where they have a universal system which allows no competition to drive down costs?

Obamacare screwed the pooch....
My Company will now probably cancel our insurance....then pay the fine which is nothing.
Then they will throw me into the Obama care exchange....then I will get to see some shitty Doctor...

Thanks Obama...

are you a communist?? would you want liberal government to control all industries like you want it to control healthcare??

You should tell the Chinese you have evidence that communism is better. Then they can switch back to it regardless of the 60 million that slowed starved to death under liberal communism!!

I remember when the doctor used to make house calls because my Dad was the customer and not the government or the insurance company

its very simple, 1) they have a more efficient socialist system than our socialist system and, 2) we are much richer so have a lot more to waste than they do.

keep in mind that capitalism is far more efficient than socialism. Do you need that explained too??

 

[regent]

Thank God we have a political party that recognizes that private enterprise must make a profit from people's illness, or illness has absolutlely no value.

Who will then say that you don't need a certain test in order to save money.

 

[jack113]

Single payer health care is the only health care system proven to be affordable worldwide yet our politicians se it as a welfare program and continue to support health insurance scams.

The Obama health care plan is the same ponzi scam as the private insurance people can get and when they need the coverage their are a book full of excuses why they are denied.

Before ObamaCare your company would drop your insurance and not pay a fine. So obamacare makes it harder for your company to drop your coverage because it makes it more expensive for them to do so.
What stiup shit are you going to regurgitate next? That Obama increasing funding from ALzermes research is going till you wen you get Alzerhieresr

Yes I'd love for you explain why when you just include our private health spending we spend 4 times more despite having worse out comes.
Furthermore Canada's GDP per capital siiiar to ours and the only reason ours is higher is because we waste so much of it only wastful health spendin
Like seriously next time you come up with theory that 5 year olds would declare as stupid go d some research to see if it actually reflects reality

It's a little bit late (by years) to be touting this when from 1994 to 2006 the GOP did nothing to resolve the issue.
