Yet every UHC system in the world is dramatically cheaper and provides better care to more people. Your issue is ideology, not economics. If you cared about economics you'd be for it.
If every other nation in the world had to budget for their own defense without the protective umbrella of the USA, they would not be able to afford those UHC systems. And they do not do a better job. the statistics that claim they do are not taking everything into account.
I was never a fan of the ACA, but if you remember the only reason they attempted this bastardized version of HC is because UHC would never pass. It's hard to pretend that this is all the Dems fault when the GOP spent every iota of their energy trying to make the ACA a failure and adding pork for their corporate buddies.
It absolutely is all the democrat party's fault. They had an opportunity to reform healthcare in a positive way. They had control of the white house and both houses of congress. However they approached it like authoritarians. They could have worked something out with republicans that both parties and the American people could have lived with. Instead, they felt "Screw that.....we have the power to pass whatever we want to pass'". They came up with a bill that the vast majority of Americans wanted nothing to do with and the republicans in congress wisely refused to back or vote for. The result, the democrats had no political cover and have since paid dearly for it in the 2010, 2014, and 2016 elections. They do not control the white house, either house of congress, and even lost control of the majority of state legislatures....all because they insisted on passing something that had no significant support outside democrat members of congress and the white house at the time. You cannot blame the republicans for that.
Too stupid to reply to. "Only Republicans donate to charity therefore I don't have to address the topic of the thread.
Like it or not, it does blow up your "republicans want Americans to suffer narrative.
