Man, they really need to pass a law or something to make it affordable to have healthcare in this country, man. Someone should run on that premise. It's something long past having not been tried.
The other party will promptly run on undoing it again. Is there a joke in there I'm missing, because it's really pretty sad.
Affordable Care Act required everyone working that can afford it to pay for health insurance, which is one way to lower insurance premiums - everyone pays in instead of waiting till something is wrong or they're older. Republicans gutted that part, but left in the parts that required dependent coverage for young adult children and maternity and prenatal care, preexisting conditions etc. That's good and all, but you still need healthy people paying in, insurance doesn't work if you wait until you need it to buy it. Republicans still want to keep the insurance middleman, but .. they don't really have any sort of plan past that, so they just fucked with ACA where they could, and stopped talking about it after .. how long has it been? I'm not sure what the plan is now, save money you poors, you're on your own? Bragging about the best healthcare in the world, well, shouldn't that be more expensive almost by definition then, so I guess the lower classes being unable to afford it was part of the plan all along? That's a sick joke man.
