Welfare Leeches and Kids Insured by their Parents are the Only

The only reason it's defended is because healthcare costs were rising at the same rates without it anyways.

That's what I thought.

Here is the problem. $3.2 trillion per year in medical costs. Population 320 million. That is $10,000 per head. There is simply no way to force the 100 million private sector workers to fund that. It means that every person working a private sector job is expected to generate $32,000 worth of revenue just to cover national health costs. The costs must come down. There is no alternative. In addition, 1% of the population incurs 22% of medical expenses. 5% of the population incurs 50% of the expenses. We need to get rid of this idea that we can dump virtually unlimited amounts of money into every person whose health is failing. Particularly those who do not and have not contributed to the system.

He can't post proof because he was probably a little babby when Americans could still insure themselves and is bluepilled on the whole matter. I was only able to keep my insurance for a little over 2 years before the cost just became too much. Obamacare sent my policy cost through the fucking roof. I'd love to have my old policy back because it was actually good and accepted everywhere.

I agree 100%. Healthcare isn't a "right" that everyone deserves just because "it feels right." It's a combination of products/services that people either have the money to afford or they don't. Half of the US medical costs is directly related to morbid obesity, ie personal choices people make to stuff their face. Couple that with other personal choices people make like popping out welfare kids or smoking 5 packs of cigs a day and it just doesn't make sense that the rest of the population is supposed to shoulder the burden of their own stupid life choices. In the meantime, obamacare, which for all realistic and practical purposes hurts more citizens than it actually helps, needs to be abolished completely and wiped from history.

>At it's very peak, obamacare only insured 18 million who previously couldn't get care of afford care
It's even worse than that. Much worse. Most people forced into Medicaid via Obamacare or who purchased health insurance after implementation due to the individual mandate either don't want insurance or don't want to be on Medicaid.

This is buried in the CBO reports you hear Democrats quote without providing the details. Of those 16 million or 22 million or whatever number they throw out who will "lose their health insurance" if repeal passes, over 90% WANT to "lose their health insurance".

Most of the idiots on this forum either don't pay shit into obamacare and reap the benefits because they won't work or they're 18-23 hanging on to their parents' plans for dear life and not old enough to remember what health insurance was like before or how idiotically bloated with unnecessary shit the plans are

>Stacey and Eddie Albert lead pretty healthy lives. She's a nutritionist. He's a personal trainer. They rarely go to the doctor, other than their annual physicals.

>For years, they were covered by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. In 2013, they paid about $360 a month for a plan that met their needs.

>That all changed the following year, when Obamacare took effect. Their premium shot up to around $650 a month for a policy that came with pediatric dental coverage and maternity services -- benefits they didn't use or want since they don't have kids. They ended up dropping the plan after several months and even went a year without coverage for the first time in the decade they've been together, exactly the opposite of what Obamacare was supposed to do.
