You deserve Trump.I have provided a I Am Not Voting Next Year option.How about a none of the above option? Healthcre insurance and government involvment in healthcare is excaty how it got so screwed up and broken in the first place. Before all this insurance and goverment crap got started the cost was affordable and the quality was much higher.If you are going to vote Republican next year, then you should choose Obamacare in the poll. Because let's face it, Trump and the Republicans have no health care reform plan and so we will be stuck with some form of Obamacare if they win.
And now, some figures.
U.S. Health Care Costs Skyrocketed to $3.65 Trillion in 2018
Health Insurance Costs Surpass $20,000 Per Year, Hitting a Record
Thanks, Trump!
We spent $3.65 Trillion on health care last year. That's your insurance premiums and co-pays, plus your employer's share of premiums, plus the government's outlays for Medicaid, Medicare, etc.
$3.65 trillion. That would be $36.5 trillion over ten years...except it will actually be much more than that since health care costs have been skyrocketing for many decades, long before Obamacare.
So here's another number: CMS Estimates Annual U.S. Health Care Spending to Hit $5.96 Trillion by 2027
In short, we literally cannot afford the Republican "do nothing" health care plan.
I am opposed to UHC, but I think it is the best of two bad choices. And I think most Americans are rapidly reaching that conclusion as well.
Beliving that you are going to win out on any insurace program, including healthcare is like taking a trip to Las Vegas on a one way ticket thinking that you'll get back home by beating the house. Odds are, that's not very likly to happen. And it's not as if the goverment has such a great track record at anything it does including healthcare. So why are so many people such willing suckers?
If you vote for a Republican next year, you are voting for Obamacare.
If you vote for a Democrat, you are voting for some form of UHC.
That's not the same. Ill be voting for Trump again BTW so i guess you'll be screaming at the sky again.
Seriously.
