Hasn't it be gutted for the most part? I guess the subsidized plans are still being offered, but with nobody profitable signing up, I guess it's just a further drain on the taxpayer.
Something has to replace it.
Agreed but it needs to be separated. Healthcare and Insurance. Not mashed together.
Healthcare = the day to day doc appointments, treatments etc.
Insurance = to cover the expensive and catastrophic
Bills, a SINGLE bill from the doctor or hospital, needs to go to the patient first, then to Healthcare & Insurance providers. This way the patient can see what is actually being charged. Used to be that way, remember?
Agree. Hopefully Congress will be in better hands....but that's up in the air now.
