I had a friend who in the 80’s & early 90’s had a terminally ill husband. The paperwork, claims, system etc... was almost insurmountable. She made calls, wrote letters, called again and again and through shear perseverance and due diligence figured everything out. So much so that after her husband passed she started working for a large medical practice dealing with billing and the insurance tangle.

She became a very valuable employee, yet remained a low wage earner. Not even the doctors were willing to recognize her worth, because they didn’t have to.

Prior to her employment if patients went late paying bills after insurance company screw up the delinquent patient simply went to collections as a calculated loss.

Absolutely pathetic.

A lot of Trumps base doesnt realize Trump from the outset has said he is for a single payer health care system.

Hey.
..don’t you know praising Canada’s health system is a sophisticated 3D chess move.

It’s either a sophisticated 3D chess move or some quirky chapter from the Art of the Deal.

Honestly, if Trump came on TV tomorrow and said the wall was just completed with a sophisticated invisible metal alloy and the Mexicans were so pressed that they wired the money to pay for it, there would be a lot of Trump supporters who would belive it.

We already have single payer health insurance.....not healthcare. What do you think Medicaid is? Everyone acts like Medicaid doesn’t exist.

Well said. Socialist healthcare is about what American pets get, except they wait longer for it than do our animals.

Pathetic, really.

You, that is. Still clinging to your whiny never Trumpism.

If Trump wanted single payer, that’s what he’d have proposed. You’re also ignoring the bit where Trump said that Canada style wouldn’t work in the US.

Your guy lost. Get over it.

I really don’t get what the problem is.

Many countries have good or great healthcare which my or may not be better than US - “’Everybody’ has better healthcare than US”

So why are fooling around here?

Just pass the dang WHCA and be done with it!

Because the pols don’t want to roll it back.

Courage and leadership would and would have delivered the better, more free-market-based solution that Republicans have voted for over and over.

But none of them made the case or really pushed for the government rollbacks we need.

Healthcare and insurance industry rent seekers basically just bought them off.

Single payer seems inevitable and it’s going to suck.

And again, you ignore everything else. Just repeating the same talking points AFTER I countered them.

Moron.

And I thought part of the fun of this forum is no personal attacks.

You watch and see what we end up with. Then we'll see who is a Moron.

It’s fine to support President Trump. I hope he does finally repeal Obamacare, as he promised. And that he sees to it that the wall is built.

But to adore everything he says and does, as though he is a faultless Messiah, is just kinda strange. It’s fine to question what our elected officials say and do, to hold them accountable. To worship without evaluation is absurd.
