In what way is it 'in shambles'? Is it just the name you don't like? Would 'Clintoncare' or 'Trumpcare' sound better?

As long as they keep a private option available so that when you really need that MRI, you can pay for it rather than waiting 7 months, a NHS-like system is fine with me. Sure, free same morning doctor's appointments may no longer be available, but hey, doctors of overrated. Suck it up and move on. The cold will go away on its own. Or, if you really need it, call your nurse practitioner cousin and ask for a Z-pack script and away you go.

Sure, we still have to tend to the rich folk who can afford timely health care.

The little people can go eat cake.


I've noticed more stories like this in the news

Rich people are always going to be able to buy more stuff. That's the benefit of being rich.

At least an NHS-like system can efficiently provide decent service to the non-rich.

Enormous increases in insurance premiums for those not subsidized under the ACA, for one.

Well then the left must stop them!

Laws must be passed to prevent the 1% from obtaining health care not available to others. 😠

Naturally, Congress would be exempt, like they are from Obamacare, but everyone else needs to feel the pain.

Higher costs are hardly well described as 'shambles'. So how large exactly are these increases? I want to see stats.

Yes, "shambles" is an overstatement.

But to answer your question, pretty large.

It is starting to unravel.

Happy?

What they want, though, is the magnificent single payer system that the nations veterans have with cost effective death lists.

That is an odd set of references.
The first is two years old. Do you have anything more current?
The second two are talking about hypothetical future rates.
I want actual stats for the last 10 years showing that healthcare insurance went up due to Obamacare. So, it must show that the yearly increases prior to Obamacare were lower than the yearly increases after Obamacare.

I bet you said that years ago. You are just like a typical 'end of the worlder'. It will be any day now! We will start to see the evidence next week!
When it actually unravels, let us know. Or if you have actual evidence of it unravelling, let us know. If all you have is your usual fare of lies and wild speculation, then you've got nothing.

Conservatives deal in fear-mongering because they have nothing else.

Where's their heathcare plan?

Oh, wait, I remember...

It was "Don't get sick." And then it was "And if you do get sick, die quickly so your family isn't bankrupted by medical bills."

Is this the "compassionate conservatism" we heard so much about?
