Obamacare is the best thing that has happened for our people during my lifetime.
So many Americans suffer from lack of preventative health care or decent medical treatment.
We have 2 standards of medical care in this country.
The best treatment on the entire planet for the wealthy and the insured.
And treatment that is worse than many 3rd world countries and rates below nations such as Cuba, for the uninsured, the poor, and middle class small business owners.
It is time we close the gap.
If we can not have universal or single payer, then Obama Care is the best option out there.
People do not seem to realize how much money will be saved once the poor stop using the emergency room for simple doctor visits.
Some day I am going to be writing a paper about my recent experiences with cancer.
For today let me just say that my bill was $108,000.00, but once my insurance company negotiated it down and payed it in full, it was lowered to only $14,500. I did not have to pay one dime. But if I had been poor, or an uninsured small business owner, I would have never got the treatment because the cancer was not diagnosed until after it was removed.
Hospitals are overrun with people in the emergency room that are charged from 500% to 10,000% more than they should be and can not pay their bills.
Once this boot on the neck of hospitals is removed, prices will come down dramatically, no matter how you slice it.
Poor people that are unable to pay their bills is just as much responsible for our out of control medical costs as anything else.
Once they are allowed to see a doctor instead or allowed to have preventative care, everything will change.
