Obamacare is indefensible. Premiums never increased triple digit percentages

Nor did millions of health plans get discontinued. And POTUS blatantly lied about keeping your health plan, your doctor, and premiums not rising if you made under $250k. Doctors spend most their time now with paperwork. Yeah, any smart person would take the old system in a heartbeat.

Yep. The left used to hold up the VA as the shining example of how well a single

dilbert

Technically, VA is single provider and single payer

10/25/16 7:20am

I slightly disagree. Single-payer can have its issues due to poor administration

10/25/16 7:53am

Obamacare didn't burn anything to the ground. It built it up.

Jeremy

10/25/16 8:25am

That's a fair argument

10/25/16 8:36am

The VA doesn't run the active duty healthcare system. Only retired veterans

The gov. also provides healthcare for Native Americans. It's as bad as you'd

The true goal of ObamaCare is a single payer system.

Obamacare will never be successful until a public option is added and therefore

I disagree with you there. As would the rest Western Civ and then some.

you show me where it works...

Easily explained.

what you mean to say is it's "easily destroyed"...and socialized medicine will

My premium went from $750 to $1500 for next year under Obamacare.

My premium is going from $195 to $205.

I believe that "crappy" coverage doesn't exist anymore.

You seem to have misspelled "AFFORDABLE Care Act"

10/25/16 9:49am

Military healthcare only works because the private system is available when

for the majority of cases, though, the military also owns the doctors

Absolutely LOVED the health care we received while on Active Duty.

Yes...and you will hate it

When setup correctly, single payer works

10/25/16 7:40am

It will never be setup correctly because single payer doesn't work...

It does in every other country in the world

10/25/16 7:54am

If you don't mind your parents being denied care, good for you!.....

PhilPete

10/25/16 8:01am

I suppose that's different than not getting coverage because you can't afford it

10/25/16 8:13am

coverage doesn't mean you get care!

PhilPete

10/25/16 8:28am

Yeah not sure what is worse.

10/25/16 8:34am

It is not just cancer. Even common care that is routine is denied to older folks

PhilPete

10/25/16 2:36pm

No it doesn't

I've spent close to half my life in Canada, and I love the health care

There is much good about it, as long as you don't get too sick....

That's second lowest on OECD healthcare satisfaction. Still way better than US

10/25/16 8:15am

How exactly does the Canadian Health Care System work?

Here's how it works...

That is a nutso statement... Single Payer lowers quality and raises admin fees

I lived under a single payer system for over two decades, and I didn't

Lord Emsworth

I call bull... I think you support such ideaolgy and therefore ignore the warts

Canada would be awesome. #1 Quality of Life

But then you'd have to live in Canada.

The military also spends more on health care than the State Dept spends. Like on
