My brother points out that the military uses a single payer healthcare plan

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

dilbert

10/25/16 6:30am

Technically, VA is single provider and single payer

Linescratcher

10/25/16 7:20am

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

TheMaineCougar

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

TheMaineCougar

10/25/16 8:36am

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

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:26am

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

I loved it before Obamacare when health insurance premiums never increased.

SoCalCoug

10/25/16 6:36am

Obamacare is indefensible. Premiums never increased triple digit percentages

Your anecdote does not prove anything.

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

and single payer will never be successful...so, now what?

10/26/16 12:46pm

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

Francisco d'Anconia

10/26/16 12:55pm

you show me where it works...

ds7

10/26/16 6:21pm

Easily explained.

Francisco d'Anconia

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 assume that your employer is paying the rest, or that you have very crappy

A would be correct. Still influenced by the world of Obamacare.

Florwood

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

Ah, the old "rates were already increasing, so what's the big deal about raising

You seem to have misspelled "AFFORDABLE Care Act"

Military healthcare only works because the private system is available when

kcca

And it is horrible

Littlerich

10/25/16 7:03am

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

byujag

10/25/16 7:05am

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

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:30am

Yes...and you will hate it

byuguns55

Absolutely disagree. My Military health care, while on active duty,

10/25/16 8:30am

When setup correctly, single payer works

TheMaineCougar

10/25/16 7:40am

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

HighHorse

10/25/16 7:49am

It does in every other country in the world

TheMaineCougar

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

TheMaineCougar

10/25/16 8:13am

coverage doesn't mean you get care!

PhilPete

10/25/16 8:28am

Yeah not sure what is worse.

TheMaineCougar

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

Lord Emsworth

10/25/16 8:05am

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

ByuMba90

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

TheMaineCougar

10/25/16 8:15am

How exactly does the Canadian Health Care System work?

StantonMac

Here's how it works...

WaHooWaCoug

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

Blue Ghost

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

Lord Emsworth

10/25/16 8:43am

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

Canada would be awesome. #1 Quality of Life

TheMaineCougar

But then you'd have to live in Canada.

Great, enjoy those taxes and the 5 minute doctor visits...

Blue Ghost

Single payer works for other countries because the U.S. subsidizes the world's

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