Our government sold out to big Pharma and Insurance companies. Our health care skyrocketed after the ACA. If the government wanted to help, they should have either made it all public (single payer) or left it private but regulated the insurance companies, hospitals, and Phama. to keep them from falsely inflating prices. Before the ACA the only people that didn't have insurance were either unemployed, or made less than 35K a year most of which then qualified for Medicaid. There were issues with that also, doctors wouldn't take patients without insurance so people were clogging up the emergency system. But really all we needed to do was increase medicaid tax 2 or 3%, and give free medical to everyone making less than 40K a year and go after the big Pharma. Let those that could afford it pay their own insurance. Instead we sold out and now require everyone to buy a product (insurance) from private companies, which is also against our constitution. One example as a result, the price of insulin has skyrocketed. Just to show you how fucked up our medical systems is, A unemployed ******* addict can now get free Narcan, but a hard working diabetic has to pay $1000 for insulin. Figure that one out. So yes, the mix of government and private insurance is a highly toxic combination. Now insurance is lobbing our government to require dental and eye care as well, and some are even talking about requiring pet insurance.
There are those here that like to blame only the republicans, but the fact is, our health care system was fucked up prior to the ACA and is even more fucked up now, and even less affordable than before. BOTH parties have had ample time to fix the problem but haven't. I hold both parties responsible.
Thanks - I understand better now. We are absolutely determined over here to resist the American health providers, who want to buy up our National Health Service.
Many people fear Brexit exactly for this reason, because they think that a US UK trade deal would mean opening up health provision in the UK to American companies.
