What's being done about it?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Why not drop the plan and just go to the emergency room if you're on the verge of death. All you have to do is smile and nod when they ask for id or insurance card.
You can even throw in a broken English reply, No understand" to make it look legit.

Looks like it would save you 32k a year.
Were you 32k worth of sick last year? I know I wasn't.

The government sucks at everything and yet you want it to be responsible for your healthcare.

This is what kills me about the universal healthcare people. The gov't can't balance a budget or effectively deliver the mail, but you think they can run the single most important aspect of your life (healthcare).

I'm sure quality is on par with American standards

Government provided health care for everyone allows ALL people to get proper health care without having to go bankrupt.

It is absolutely amazing how the government can be shown to be so inefficient, so costly, so inept, so controlling, and people are still clamoring for more.

The government has laid out...twice... that it has zero clue how to run healthcare. Zero. Not a inclination. The VA and Obamacare.

And idiots want more! Moar government!! We will do it right next time!!

Here is an experiment I can believe in. Let one of these loony states who beg for Medicare for all be a pilot. Everyone in that state has to do it. EVERYONE in that state has to participate. Politicians, celebrities, musicians right down to the fry cook at a restaurant. Everyone. If there is one single instance of preferred treatment over someone else, the pilot is terminated and it is forever taken off the table. If there is one instance of outside assistance in keeping it solvent.. the program is terminated and it is forever off the table.

The rest of the nation goes back to pre Obamacare.

Ten years. Whichever is better.. we go with it.

I’m open to that.

When you turn simple health insurance into wealth redistribution, this is what happens

Lolz, and they ALSO want unlimited immigration.

They always reference Scandinavian countries, but they never actually look at those countries. They don’t allow unlimited immigration because their social programs couldn’t handle it

Health insurance profit margins are not anything substantial.

And if the mega millionaires at the top of the organizational chart give themselves even larger bonuses/pay the profit shrinks more. Profit =/= revenues and can be manipulated by payroll. CEO hires mentally handicapped stepson of his 4th ex wife at 2.5M/yr, down goes profit.

My company provides full coverage to me at no cost to me, including dental. BCBS. I don’t even have to pay a co pay.

Does said company require you to work to receive said benefits? If so, that’s what it costs you.

Just bc it’s not itemized on your paystub doesn’t mean it’s at no cost to you. It’s all part of your total compensation package just like everyone else.
