I notice a number of folks here blaming Obamacare for decisions their employers made. In many cases Obamacare has been a convenient excuse for employers to reduce their benefit expenditures on their employees.
I one million percent agree with this right here.

The argument for nationalized healthcare is that the single payer system as it exists elsewhere is more efficient in terms of dollars spent to deliver care. This is an undeniable fact which is not up to debate. The data also suggests that people in countries with nationalized healthcare generally live longer than Americans so even quality is difficult to debate.
Eh, 90+% of this has to do with differences in lifestyles and diet not healthcare.

For sure obesity, fetal mortality, motor vehicle accidents and a host of other differences all factor in. On the other hand the US has very robust food safefy guidelines, OSHA, etc that these other countries may lack.
Like I said, quality is tough to debate because of all the variables at play.
In the end, something had to be done as the previous Medicare model was unsustainable. Is the ACA the answer? I like some respects and others not so much. We'll see how this plays out...
