Would you rather have the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (AKA "Obamacare) or have a system of UHC in this country?
I would much prefer UHC to the conservative alternative - the insurance mandate.
I'm beginning to think that we should just have a "libertarian opt-out" for everything. Better yet why don't we set aside a parcel of land so that the libertarians can have their own paradise lol. That would be quite an experiment.
We had one. It was called the United States of America.

UHC but then I am Canadian. I see Obamacare as being pretty much the worst possible way to go. It is a tax on those who can least afford it and will make it even harder to move to a UHC system. You guys should have looked around the world taken the best ideas and tried to come up with something even better, instead you got this monstrosity.

ACA won't reduce costs.
National health-insurance would.
I'd like what works best. I didn't have that option on your poll. I'm a design engineer, so I'm always looking for what works best. So describe the functionality of the two systems, a bunch of details compared helps.Would you rather have the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (AKA "Obamacare) or have a system of UHC in this country?
Yeah, the world has that - they call it "Hong Kong".

In the post-PPACA world, escalating costs will represent one of the most predictable outcomes of health reform for employers. As employers face higher costs and expanded requirements, many will turn to alternative risk transfer funding methods such as self-insurance to better manage their health plans and control costs. While embraced by larger firms for years, self-insurance is becoming an increasingly popular option for mid-size and small employers as well. In the new healthcare marketplace, self-insurance is a viable solution to rising health care costs—whether for financially qualified employers considering self-funding as an alternative to fully insured coverage, or for employers with self-funded plans already in place.
