It is an election year so there will be lots of whining and bitching about Obamacare….mostly from the Right…..but they truth is that none of these options will not solve our health care problem…..and the ones that are offered by the Right are at best….laughable.
While it has done a lot of good, the Affordable Care Act is not a long-term solution to the US health care crisis.
Bernie Sanders’ campaign, which proposed replacing the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with a Medicare for All system, has sparked a much-needed debate over the need for a single-payer health system. But this bold proposal didn’t win him the election. And now that Hillary Clinton has become the presumptive nominee against Donald Trump, the debate over health care reform is about to become extremely narrow.
With the media and candidates in full general election mode, Sanders’ argument that we must do better than Obamacare will soon be replaced by Trump’s insistence that we must do worse. Clinton will almost certainly respond by pushing the status quo, which remains broken. Critical dialogue, at least on the national stage, will likely be in short supply.

The part I like best are the ones that are in the most opposition are the ones that have all the health care they need…..it feels like they want to horde health care for people like them….only.
It is with great sadness that I must agree with you Chuq. Sad because there is a workable model in use right now by your neighbours to the North. And, we don’t pay anything additional for it … it is funded by our taxes (similar to Roads & Highways, Water & Sewer, etc.).

Single payer is the only way to make it fair and accessible…
Maybe in the States but definitely not in Canada.
How bad is the Canadian system?
As always I appreciate the Ping….thanx for the help….chuq
Reblogged this on The Militant Negro™.
The sooner that people realize that single payer is the only way for true equality of health care the better…..
