Instead of calling you retarded, I will provide an answer.
ObamaCare was a massive SOCIALIST/Oligarchy/Fascist transfer of money from Americans taxpayers, to rich corporations of his (their) choice.
It killed competition, and free market...that's what the fuck leftism DOES...whether it is Natsoc or Feel the Bern!!

(MY PERSONAL PASTA W/OUT SAUCE)
n socialism, ALL SOCIALISM/FASCISM, you still have to trust the word of corrupt PEOPLE, about how much production/resources are available. You have no way of knowing.
At least in capitalism, you can vote with your dollars, and buy into shares of the produce/resources.
In addition, whether you pretend to place centralized control of resources, in the state (socialism), or the people (communism), the difference is sheer semantics....pretending to place control in a human construct designated the ability to actually be fair, and not corrupt.

In fact we have fascism/socialism now...that is what the bailouts were. Those are the Peoples' Banks. Obamacare is the Peoples' insurance. Why ask for something you already have?

I think most people asking for socialism or Communism have no idea, and have never really considered wtf that would look like. For more info, see: "Obama Administration"

>>131661947
It's a corporate fascist scheme that addresses the inflated cost of healthcare by forcing everyone buy insurance at the threat of fines and imprisonment. It is naturally adjusted, as all parasitic schemes are, to unfairly burden healthy young men in favor of those who pay little to nothing. It does nothing to lower healthcare costs, it has raised the cost of insurance, which is makes mandatory, which enforces high healthcare costs.

The "best" thing it does it the pre-existing condition crap, but even that's nonsense, because that's not what insurance is for. All it does, again, is increase costs for those whole carry the burden. Those with pre-existing conditions do not need insurance, they need affordable healthcare, and failing their ability to afford it, they need charity.

The Government already manages a large percent of the population's healthcare (including all of these Legislator's).

You can't Free Market something in which the consumer has no choice but to purchase or die.
You don't get to say "That liver transplant/cancer drug is too expensive, I'll just have to pass". Big Insurance and Big Healthcare have exploited this (and bribed politicians) to set shit up this way.

You want to make "teh Gubbermint" the bogeyman, when it's the free flow of money into the goverment from private corporations that put us in this mess (among many other messes).

>socialism is marxism :^)

Healthcare, along with national defense and infrastructure, are things well suited for government control.

The fact that large government control is inefficient doesn't mean that there are not still things that are better handled by it.

>>131663740
>US government
stop right there. Government can handle this, as demonstrated elsewhere. If there is a particular issue with a particular government handling it then THAT is the issue, not the premise of single payer.

The cost of healthcare in america is a feedback loop. Because most people get insurance through their employer, we already have a system where the healthy are paying for the sicks healthcare, thats the way insurance works, but because everyone has it health care industry can charge very high prices, up to whatever insurance is willing to pay while still making a profit off of all the healthy people who have insurance.

The problem is that everyone should have insurance. Its not a problem that 'the healthy have to have insurance'. Everyone should have fucking healthcare, its that simple, its like electricity. What happens when we dont? People die in the street, whos going to clean that up? You? Are you going to shovel a bunch of dead hobos out of the gutter?

And when plagues spread because of inadequate care and you get infected and die, im sure you will be happy you didnt have to have insurance.

Healthcare is integral to the entirety of the population. That everyone around you is healthy is in your own interest, that everyone in the nation is healthy is in the nations interest.

So we have a situation where everyone being covered, drives costs up. The 'free market' approach to lower prices would require some people not having health care, which is a bad idea, so the only solution to have both everyone covered and prices under control is the collective bargaining weight only accomplished through large scale single payer pressure on the industry.

No it wasnt, you just didnt know about because you likely had insurance through your employer or were uninsured and healthy.

Medical costs were stupidly high before obamacare and only going up. The pressure to do something about it is likely one of the things that caused obamacare to go through.

This has been a growing problem since at least the mid 90s.

The hell you can't.The costs of healthcare are not representative of a free market. The government literally prohibits several free market alternatives such as fraternal orgs. The presence and utter reliance on insurance has driven costs to insane heights, for the most basic of items and services. Nothing can change without abolishing the corporate fascist Obamacare, and single-payer was the intended goal of this all along, I will never trust it.

Obamas projections looked like this:

Well, before it my monthly payment for healthcare was $320, and it has never raised by more than 1-3% per year.
My co-pays were $10.
Prescriptions were $10.

Now it's $580 a month.
Copay is $25.
Prescriptions are $30.

This happened over the course of 2 years.

>>131664351
>Insurers not covering pre-existing conditions like insurance isnt supposed to do

The issue is that insurance is not really insurance, insurance is simply 'medical care'.

It is by design, by the insurance companies own design, because they keep insisting that prices stay artificially high to encourage people to feel the need to have insurance.

Your insurance doesnt pay that whole medical bill, they negotiate it down. The inunsured end up paying twice or more what their insurance would have, and most providers can not cut a deal with the uninsured because part of the deal they have to get what they do manage to get from the insurance company stipulates people paying out of pocket have to pay full price.

And yes, part of why we got here was government collusion with the health and insurance industries, the health lobby is huge, much bigger than oil.

But what happened to drain the swamp? Half measures like obamacare, or trump care, those are things that will not fix the system, they will just continue milking it. Single payer can fix it.

>>131664446
>Costs went up
Mainly because the insurance companies, the insiders, basically EVERYBODY saw the writing on the wall before the damn thing was even signed into law. They are just milking it, trying to gouge the system for as much as they can before it inevitably gets changed.

The same way medical prices have slowly gone up as more and more boomers retire, because they get on medicare, which can not negotiate (by law, because that would be unfair for the insurance companies ;^) - an example of the collusion im talking about) those health care providers know they have guarenteed government payment for all these retired people, so they can increase prices.

This is just meaningless word-stew. You act like the Insurance companies just pay for medical costs out of their own money, rather than managing a pool of money paid into them. The people newly covered by Obamacare weren't in there for free, it was covered by their own money or from taxpayer gibs-money.

The insurance companies had a natural reason to make this fail; shit like the 80% clause (where they had to spend 80% of the pool paying claims) were cancerous to their enormous profitability.

The goal of Big Insurance isn't to insure people, it's first and foremost to generate enormous wealth for the shareholders/administrators. Obamacare proposed to change their priorities back to covering the people who paid in and got sick.

On the Big Healthcare side, they just took advantage of this windfall to gin up prices (as usual) because any sort of real healthcare reform has to control prices. As long as we are paying Quadruple what the rest of the Free World is for drugs and treatment, this situation will never be fixed.

Yes there is something wrong with it. I am a free man. You cannot tell a free man that he has to pay an insurance company money simply because he exists. You are playing with war doing that. Do you have any clue how many people haven't paid in, aren't going to pay in, and stopped paying taxes altogether because of that blatant violation of the fundamental of liberty? People have withdrawn their consent to be governed over this individual mandate alone. They bought guns instead of paying for your other people's healthcare, and if you push harder, you have a war on your hands.
Fuck your healthcare and your very small brain that doesn't understand what a right is and can't understand the fundamentals of liberty.

The insurance companies are milking Obamacare? They started losing 100s of millions of dollars per year from day 1.

Obama promised them he would subsidize their losses if they would participate. They participated, and then he refused to give them the money he promised them. He sabotaged his own plan.

The insurance portion of ACA was just a cover to hide the Medicaid expansion that Americans didn't want. They knew the exchanges would fall apart.

$5k deductible means that millions of people are paying hundreds of dollars each month for health insurance that won't kick in until that deductible amount is paid for by the customer. there are some benefits, such as reduced prescription medicine costs, and other perks that are nice, but most people won't actually see any monetary assistance from the insurance companies, since catastrophic accidents and illnesses aren't common occurrences.

it's a racket to funnel money to the insurance industry. it's a result of lobbyists using democrat corruptibility to rape the citizens.

Obamacare is a lie. Its just a law forcing you to eithet buy expensive healthcare or sign up for a shitty one that does nothing. It also only works if you are unemployed.

Trump starts with opening state borders and allowing you to buy medicine from overseas. This hurts pharmacy companies because it forces them to lower their prices. Its high because they monopolize it with patents and then extend those patents through playing littlw liberal fuck fuck games. They raise it so high that insurance is REQUIRED to pay for it.

When obamacare came out they dropped my friend who had diabetes. You can keep your doctor but the doctor dont have to keep you. He had to pay 700 a month for insulin after that and 3 months later went into a diabetic coma.

Obamacare also currently takes 6 months just to talk to a doctor about mental health but first you have to get assigned to a doctor who actually exists.

>signs up
>given doctor and hospital
>call hospital
> "sorry we never heard of that doctor here"
>calls some number to fix
>gets the run around for 30 minutes

Yes. My understanding is that there is no perfect system where everyone has optimal healthcare and maximum satisfaction.

Obama was near his last term and accomplished nothing so he literally took what was in it so far and ran with it against republican warnings. Hes literally a nigger who didnt do anything but play golf and then stole a classmates homework, wrote his own name on it, and turned it in to the teacher. So then all the mistakes on the homework appeared so now hes blaming it on the mate that he stole it from. Hes a literal nigger.

Like Shkreli? Kek. Tough titty. They can either stop whining and find a way, or they can shut up shop and go fuck themselves. If not, the US is by no means the only country that manufactures medications. Half your meds are imported anyway.

>saved money
every single payer program in the world is paying less per capita than we are, and the US does not have the highest life expectancy.

Because large programs will have degrees of inefficiency inherent in them does not mean you can not make a less-inefficient large program than ones that already exist.

In the case of health care it has been shown that the overall savings are superior to what you lose by having it ran by a large program.

You can see this by looking at the average health care cost per capita. This roles everything together in an easy to see number, the US pays 40% or more than any other country. Therefore by adopting single payer we will at least be saving that much.

True conservative or true socialist policies, practiced by true believers, would be much better now than this blob of shit we deal with today.
I think conservatives are willing to compromise with socialists. Not sure of the inverse.
Let's get rid of all this bullshit. There is already tons of socialistic ideas injected into our day to day. Rolling all of that back is painful as fuck. Work with us to clean up what we already have instead of pushing a system already broken into expanding.

I am willing to compromise with socialists. Let's have a mixed economy; by which I mean separate out capitalism, from all social services.
All the land the govt has, ship the unemployed people there, make them sow, and reap...build some factories.
Make them provide for themselves. This would help our economy too, because we could buy their cheap local shit.

The boomers are pieces of shit and will drive up the deficit until they are all dead.

Instead of letting the economy collapse as it should have in 2007 they extended the bubble in order to keep their investments inflated in this farce of an economy.

They have no intentions of "fixing" anything.

Their entire plan is as simple as taking out a new credit card to pay off their old credit card at the expensive of national debt. They do this while also laundering some of that loan money into whoever knows where.

>Education costs, healthcare costs- these two large portions of the economy become markedly worse the more government and money we put into them. Why?

Ive already explained why healthcare is costly, because everyone has insurance.

The thing people need to understand is that if everyone (or almost everyone) has insurance (which people do through their employer), then we already have a system where everyone is paying into the system, to pay for the costs of those who need it.

There is zero practical difference between that system and it being just a different thing that is paid into. No difference between your employer lowering your wages an average of $1500 a year to pay for your health insurance plan, or an extra $1500 of your pay being deducted in the form of taxes and you using a national health plan.
They are identical thing.

(most) Everyone being insured means that the health care costs can be raised to the maximum that the insurance companies are able to still profit from under this system.


If only some people were insured, if it was not a huge thing like it is, then prices would come down eventually, but that would result in a system where some people would suffer from it.

Operating from the premise then that health care for a population is part of the overall societies collective interest (and it is, people meme about not wanting to pay for someones transition or some fat persons gastric bypass but with out health care we will literally get massive pandemics. You are healthier by not being around sick people, the community as a whole benefits from everyone else in the community being as healthy as possible), you then have a question of what is the best way to manage it.

The problem here is illustrated in your phrasing "the more government money". The problem as ive been saying all along is cost. The solution is not to continue feeding money into something. Both capitalists and marxists are always thinking in terms of wealth distribution

As far as education, the answer can be inferred in part i think by looking at the STEM meme.

The way it played out is this:
1. Companies (and the government backed by lobbyists) push the STEM meme hard.
2. People fall for the meme, and a whole generation rushes out to get STEM degrees
3. There is now oversaturation of qualified individuals, companies can pick their favorite and everyone else is out of luck.

Companies benefit here by having their choice and job competition to ensure they can pay low wages, universities benifit from people attending them, everyone but the student benifits.

Universities have credit card providers sitting out front offering students, most of which have zero life experiences, credit lines. This is all bundled togeather, its massive collusion (and collusion does not have to be explicitly agreed upon, it can simply be a comfortable situation multiple people are benefiting from) it is taking advantage of people.

Another reason education is so costly is because people then recover from these failed endevors by trying to justify their degree. "It was worth it" they will reason, and get some job doing something unrelated, and climb the ladder, and from thereon out demand new employees have fallen for the same gimmick.

The majority of people in universities should be attending trade schools instead.

The solution to both is just government reform. You need to end lobbying entirely to start. Congresspeople all take lobbyist money, they have to because they need money to pay their corrupt parties to gain any political power.

So abolishing political parties, something george washington would be all for, is another important step.

Then why does it work exactly the opposite in EVERY country with single payer? Because doctors don't have to argue with some failed nurse about every fucking line item on a bill. They don't have to hire an employee solely to sort out all the different billing rules of every insurance company and pass the rest along to the patient, and to track which bills are getting paid and which don't. They merely send the ONE bill to the payer and not worry about it. Have you ever even worked anywhere near medical billing? No? Then sit down and listen to people who do.

It's horseshit because it attempts to confuse people with rate of change. Yes, premiums spiked during early 2000s. But they are still increasing at an average of 26%increase 16' - 17'. It's not helping.

Additionally, the massive increases in premiums occurred at beginning of gwb and were close to current at end of gwb terms. So ACA did not fix it as it was already trending. Now risk had gotten jacked and services from insurers had gone down in quality. If quality stayed the same premiums would have risen much much higher. Plus the system structure relies on tax appropriation from other gov programs as well as local budgets.

It's a regressive tax on independent contractor type employees and small businesses. I write software as a 1099 and used to pay $150 a month for A+ health insurance. Now, I don't even have the option to buy that old policy. What is being sold is 3x more expensive in terms of premiums with 2.5x higher deductables. It's not even worth buying for most health needs, it's just catastrophic insurance coverage.

Obamacare is the most anti-job growth law enacted in probably the last 50 years. it throws a ridiculous burden on small to medium sized businesses who can't go to insurance brokers like Cygna and get good rates via pooled insurance. It constructs a total disincentive to starting small businesses or working as an independent contractor via inflating the costs of basic insurance 200-300% higher than what they used to be.

Obamacare's business insurance mandate killed a merger my business was working on.
My wife's company worked on obamacare, and their rates went up so much they couldn't cover her healthcare 100% anymore. In 2 years it went to 150 a month. The company never paid less, that's just how much more it cost. They literally saw how much of a cluster it would be since they were being hired to work on it.
I was self employed (running my own business) which meant i had to buy it on the market, but we couldn't afford the ridiculously high rates (i was in one of the states with the biggest hikes) and i was only about 300 a year shy of it being so expensive i could be exempt.
So I've been without insurance, and still have had to pay thousands in fines.

Figure that for a female my age, the base rate is double (lol vaginas) so assume $750/mo. Then tack on kids at another $200/mo each.

That's $18300 a year up in smoke on a shitty high deductible health insurance plan.

Why did you change the subject? We were talking about lawyers, And they are very different. Other healthcare companies would not be able to survive once one was picked for single payer, killing all competition. While law firms are still able to flourish even with state appointed ones.

one of the biggest and most overlooked burdens of Obamacare is the costs passed onto businesses, especially small businesses.

Yep, it's catastrophically horrible for independent contractors and small businesses. As I stated before, Obamacare is the most anti-small business piece of legislation ever passed. I doubt that was the intent, but it sure as hell is the net result.

>>
>>131662567
First off they are not going to die because I, and others were responsible, and paid for our own insurance. All Obama care did was take more money from myself, and the economy to pay for people who would rather spend their money on crap. It has done what it was intended to do, and that is to finish killing off the Middle Classes ability to move upward. Obama, and the whole Federal system hate the MC. Also note that Congress got a subsidy to offset the increased cost to them. This happened because the you have to pass it to reads its whined about it being costly. Again your caring liberals in action.

The rich would see competition not in richness, but in the order of society. A middle class that doesn't need the rich might do something "surprising" like ally with rednecks. Remember, elites exist because of elitism and they will die to defend that system if they run out of inferiors to put through the grinder.

It's not perfect because there was constant efforts from both the GOP and the Dems to make it as much of a handout to the insurance industry as possible, but for the average poor-ass American it generally helped. Several states with Republican governors refused to take the medicaid expansions offered pro-bono and then bitched about how the ACA didn't help their constituents.

It's hardly perfect, but effort should be made to fix the problems with it, not cut tens of millions off insurance, jerk off the insurance industries even more, and cut as many taxes as the GOP can get away with for rich jews.

Wait, if your argument is correct than we all deserve the highest standard of living, resources, Healthcare, food, water, and the traditional social services that we take for granted, such as fire and police. Also, if we follow your argument through, there is no such thing as a legitimate charge for any of these services. Therfore, by your own statement regarding free market necessities, taxation is unreasonable at best.

Private insurance is the source of much of the indirect cost of health care. If every physician's office didn't have to hire a biller to negotiate with insurers, if insurers didn't hire an army of failed nurses to fight against paying out any of YOUR money, if insurers and their denbts to Wall Street just didn't exist in the first place, if doctors didn't have to carry malpractice insurance to cover the cost of their own errors and accidents and punitive damages, and so on.
Compare to the situation if the doctor merely sent a bill to Medicare and got paid timely, and risked the occasional audit with 20 years in prison for fraud, and the care provided to the victim of a medical error was billed the same way as any other care and so on.
As for pharma, intellectual property limitations and monopsony would push the cost of treatments down toward cost, which is a good thing. If we want innovation, we can fund that at the university level. Every college kid needs a master's project.

Oh, you're right, I forgot about that part.
Health insurance isn't health care, by the way. You can still pay cash for health care, to the doctors, pharmacies, etc. Health insurance is nothing but a parasitic scam.

Of course not. Providers are often willing to give you a sizable discount off the chargemaster rate if you pay regularly. Providers want to deal with insurance companies about as much as you do, which is to say, not at all.

Yes you moron, up to their deductibles which are crazy high. Health insurance is not health care. Health insurance is supposed to protect you when something catastrophic occurs so you can pay for your expensive health care. It's not supposed to subsidizing a bunch of leeches healthcare.
I had health insurance for 35 years until 2011. I haven't had it since, not because I can't afford it, because I'm not fucking stupid and paying for you assholes' free ride. I don't pay the fines either, they have to steal it from my bank account, which they do. Nice work fuck face thieves. I used to be OK with the price of insurance and the piece of mind that came with it. Now, I want nothing to do with it. Free men don't have to pay a corporation to exist.

What pisses me off about this subject is no one bothered to look into why Republicans opposed it.

They don't fucking hate the idea of healthcare. They hate the fact Obama care contained tons of hidden things tacked on a massive pile of papers and bullshit that was passed without scrutiny.

The Democrats who argued for it used the argument that it should be passed so they could read it afterwards.

Guess what? The people who fought for it said they didn't like certain parts after it was passed. There is a strong possibility hidden in it is a requirement that all Americans are required to have a chip implant before 2020.

Politicians do not require it if they don't have insurance, like every other American.

It fucked the economy horribly at a time when 2/3rds of Americans were struggling and caused the increase in people having to take second or third jobs to maintain a basic standard of living.

How you might ask?

>Everyone must have insurance.
>Companies must offer insurance to employees that work 40 hours a week.
>Only those that work 40 hours a week.

Suddenly every company started only hiring part time or just under 40 hours a week, with harsh punishments for anyone who worked over time.

If you work more than one job to pay your bills, while you are told by baby boomers you don't deserve a raise so you don't have to work multiple jobs, blame Obama care.
>>
>>131682549
No not exactly.
Government/FDR was to blame because of wage caps, so companies wanting to attract the best workers offered health insurance as a benefit to off set the caps.
Then later LBJ with his great society started medicade/care, but then the government as usual siad this is what we will pay, which was below the actual cost, so this meant providers had to charge more to get their money. Then insurance companies did the same causing the prices to rise further until we find ourselves in this mess.

That's how I can tell you're larping. I'm a "shared responsibility" fee refusenik, and in no case has the IRS ever gone after me for that shared responsibility payment or threatened to do so.
Are you larping, or just a health insurance adjuster desperately pleading for your own job? Proofs of levy or slit your wrists on livestream, faggot.

>>131662567
That's extortion. I am not interested in paying $430 extra per month (plus skyrocketing deductible and reduced coverage for my own family) just to keep some lazy fuck covered under a shit insurance plan because they won't get a job and support themselves.

And if they were literally going to die without their shit healthcare plan that they aren't paying for, why exactly are we going out of our way to keep them alive?
>>
>>131663371
>implying we need to replace it
Were you alive before Obamacare existed? Healthcare was cheap, available and effective. It wasn't broken before Soetorocare. The only reason Republicans aren't ready with a replacement plan is because they were going for full repeal up until President Trump promised they'd replace it.

And they don't take the time to itemize it on a levy. Get a fucking clue, and quit jerking off to tranny porn faggot.

Actually, it was broken. Medical bankruptcies happened more often as health insurers tried to increase their margins. Not that the ACA, designed by a conservative think-tank and written by a health insurance VP, was intended to fix anything rather than bail out the insurance and pharma industries.
