That's horrible, my sympathy. Personally, I think Obamacare fixed more than it broke, even immediately. In particular, it was a huge relief to get rid of the possibility you could be permanently uninsurable after even a tiny gap if you have a "pre-existing condition".
I wanted Medicare for everyone (still do), but politics...and lies about "government death panels"...
- aksss 5y agoI want medicare for all (or at least wish that people could figure that out, in a workable way - probably not possible until international defense spending takes a huge haircut, meaning a very different world order), but I also don't think "death panels" are a lie - ignore the scary hyperbole, the point is that health care on a fixed budget needs to be rationed. The kind of plans we could offer the nation of 350m people without dramatic world-changing changes in budget structure would be pretty bare bones. That's a reality in all systems. None of us have a "right" to have endless repair services - we are "entitled" to services within the confines of the systems we create, pay for, and subscribe to. Limited budget, just like with NHS, means choices have to be made. Totally okay with that.
