Re: No Deal on Health Care Bill After Conservative Meeting With Trump
I am not familiar with all of the facets of American healthcare so I'm not even going to attempt to factcheck that. Let me just say that your healthcare is waaaayyyyyy too complicated -- much more than it should be. You Americans need to decide whether you have no issues with your people dying right left and centre because they cannot afford healthcare or that you all believe that healthcare is a fundamental right of each individual.
You can make that argument for the Medicaid expansion but you can't make that argument for anyone else. They were sold a false bill of goods. They got a piece of paper that says they have insurance but they can't use it. With the high deductibles and out of pocket expenses, their so called health insurance is totally worthless. Democrats like to tout the fact on paper that these people have insurance but if these people can't use it because they can't afford the deductibles and out of pocket costs, then they don't really have insurance at all. The poorer all had access to healthcare before Obamacare. They didn't have to pay the bill and they didn't have to declare bankruptcy either. So, they are really not any better off than they were before.
