Yes, the wimpy Obamacare system was doomed from the get-go.

Yes, the half-assed GOP ideas about using Health Savings Accounts to maintain corporate-controlled health insurance are also doomed.

Yes, Lit's hysterical Nanner Boy has nothing of substance to contribute on this subject.

Non-profit single-payer health insurance is the only long term solution.

When you have to resort to overt racism, you're probably full of shit.

Paying for your own shit is the most sustainable and by far the more affordable long term solution.

Ooops! My apologies. I forgot that you no longer "identify" as nanner.

Henceforth I shall recognize your preferred ethnicity as "brown".

But be aware that ICE has agents monitoring this forum.

What's my self ID got to do with your racism??

Henceforth I shall recognize your preferred ethnicity as "brown".

Obsessed with skin color and identitfying with it, racism set to MAXIMUM!!!

You lefties just can't help yourselves.

But be aware that ICE has agents monitoring this forum.

I'm a legal citizen and a long time supporter of ICE. Why would it bother me if they knew I was brown?? Because racist like you confuse "illegal migration" with "brown skin color" because racist gotta racist??

 

[wallstreetguy]

"US Healthcare is bad."
"Leave."
"No way. I just want to complain and brag about countries I do not live in to virtue signal."
"Gotcha."

When the enhanced ACA benefits expire, uncompensated medical care (for the uninsured) is going to soar, and those costs will be shifted onto everyone else.

Uncompensated care will increase by $7.7 billion, if the enhanced premium tax credits expire.

Predictably, the impact will be largest in the backward red states:

Demand for uncompensated care will grow by more than 27% in Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Oh noes looks like people will have to pay for their own shit.

Predictably, the impact will be largest in the backward red states:

Only temporarally, all the parasites will naturally migrate to blue states for welfare...and Democrat tax payers can pay for all the do-gooder bullshit they support.

Hopefully red states start shipping them to blue states, so blue states can get all the "progress" they want.

Interesting article about the universal healthcare system in Japan. It’s a real mish-mash, but it gets the job done. Everyone is covered, equipment is advanced, and nobody is bankrupted by medical bills.

Those who oppose universal healthcare say it leads to long waits for care, but not in Japan:

This brings us to the part of Japanese health care that most surprises visitors—or anybody who assumes that “universal coverage” translates to “waiting to get medical care.” Access to care in Japan is notoriously quick, at least by international standards.

People who are sick or injured can just show up at clinics or hospitals, which typically can see most patients within an hour or two.

“I would say the waiting lists are quite a bit shorter in Japan than in the U.S,” Hideki Hashimoto, a professor of public health at the University of Tokyo, told me. He would know. In addition to being an expert on health systems, Hashimoto is also a cardiologist who spent several years at Harvard, where he watched how they do things at that university’s world-famous teaching hospitals.

Japan rates highly on lots of measures:

Among OECD countries, Japan has the second most hospital beds per capita . . . and the second longest hospital average length of stay. . . . In addition, Japan has the most advanced imaging machines (CT scanners, MRI machines, and PET scanners) per capita among OECD countries. . . . Japan also has the second highest number of physician visits per year among OECD countries.

Let's do the rest of the right wing shit that Japan does. Like having a border, and not letting the entire 3rd world come rat fuck our nation and society for all they like the way the fucking marxist democrats want.

Then maybe we can consider UHC.

Till then UHC with an open border and a bunch of racist as fuck sexist as fuck marxist democrats.....is fucking retarded and you assholes can get your fucking hands out of my pockets. You're a bunch of fraudsters and scammers, fuck you.

In contrast to Japan, Taiwan has a single payer system. The government is the insurer.

They didn’t have universal healthcare until recently, so they did the obvious thing and learned from other nations when they created their system.

More than 99 percent of people living in Taiwan now have insurance through the NHI. They pay premiums based on a sliding scale, with employers contributing additional premiums, and they have to pay modest out-of-pocket costs for everything from prescriptions to hospitalization.
That last part might surprise people who think that single payer necessarily means “free” health care. It doesn’t, though the NHI waives copayments and deductibles for several key populations: the poor, pregnant women, children younger than three and people with serious, long-term conditions like diabetes or cancer.

Patients in Taiwan have the kind of access to medical care most Americans would envy. They can see any doctor or visit any hospital anytime they want, and pay just a small additional fee for specialty care without a referral.

Taiwan’s universal healthcare system is far less expensive than the US mess:

In 2016, the overall budget worked out to less than 7 percent of Taiwan’s gross domestic product, compared to 16 percent in the United States.

two good examples of countries taking car of their people plus the countries with high standards of living and affordable care in europe. not going to happen here as long as corporations can make profit despite more people losing coverage. thanks congress for doing what you do best, supporting your donors and neglecting the general populace. affordability. not on this congresses watch or in the past.

More bullshit from a communist who doesn't understand the difference between a voluntary service exchange and a forced extraction of wealth.

Probably doesn't understand illegal vs. legal migration eltither and almost certainly thinks women can have dicks.

Chad is a bot that strings together buzzwords in nonsensical rants. Replying to it just triggers another nonsensical string of buzzwords.

Chad bitch slapped me around this mother fucker so many times I just have to ignore it and talk past it now.

That's right bitch....

It never was in any other country -- why here?

That is a subject YOU can NEVER bring up without making YOURSELF look like an idiot.

New data about the high cost of the US’ failed healthcare system …

More Americans Experience Troublesome Healthcare Costs Than Previously Thought

Overall, 24.7% and 11.2% of individuals were part of households that endured cost burdens or catastrophic cost burdens over 4 years. Of note, 26.7% of adults experienced foregone care due to cost or cost burden over 4 years.

John W. Scott, MD, MPH, of the University of Washington in Seattle, wrote in an accompanying editorialopens in a new tab or window that the finding "that more than half of patients who died experienced healthcare-related financial hardship adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that financial hardship is not merely an unfortunate byproduct of illness, but also a clinical risk factor that directly threatens patients' health."

It's hilarious to watch all these asshole leftists complaining when it was ObamaCare that ruined the U.S. Healthcare industry, causing rates to spike instead of lower.

Everything afterward has been a desperate attempt by the Demfucks to hide that - not to fix it.

No economist would agree with that.

FACT CHECK: Healthcare costs in the US began to soar in the 1970s and have continued to rise unchecked ever since.
