Most see healthcare the way they do things like public education and other goverment provided entities. It's hard to take anstance against free healthcare especially with how fricked our system is

Because we're two years removed from "day one" and we've kinda repealed and not even tried to replace.

No, it's not. Your health care is not my fricking problem.

he ACA is awful. High deductibles, high premiums and "subsidies" that are imputed as income at the end of every tax year. For the average working American not on group coverage through his or her employer, it's a complete ripoff.


Trump oughtta come out for a medicare buy-in for all.

Pay about the same premium but cut the blood sucking insurance companies out? I might buy in to that. It would certainly eliminate a wedge Democratic issue.

I see another baw who has never experienced healthcare in a country with "free" healthcare.

Pro-tip: There's a reason why private health insurance is so popular in a country with "free" healthcare like Germany.

Effective messaging by Democrats and allied media. That plus a GOP failure to emphasize the robust economy.

Healthcare is an issue only to the extent Trump and the Republicans promised to do something about it and failed.

But this election is really a referendum on trump as a whole, regardless of the outcome.

The Medicare system is already crumbling. There are 25 million more people going onto Medicare by 2025. This is only an estimate of the people aging into Medicare, not via disability or end stage renal disease. It isn't sustainable. Part B premiums are being raised. Supplement plans F and C are being phased out in the next couple years. The idea of a single payer system is absolutely moronic.
