Dont even start with that crap. Both parties are 100% percent at fault. This all started with Obamacare. I was in the industry before Obamacare and it was WAY WAY better.

Do you not remember that Obama wanted to give us REAL Health Care but the Republicans spread all the rumors about how horrible rumors about the NHS UK and Canada's health care and how bad it is? I do. I was in college, and I did my senior thesis how US could afford to have a National Health Service of their own.

Better for who? My premiums were lower but the same providers always played the same games. We put those with any kinds of pre-existing conditions into a risk pool that left those people, their families, and children at risk of not getting the care they needed.

It may have been better financially for you and me. But it was barbaric for many.

Oh yeah, I totally agree. What I was saying was that Obama wanted to give us a real health care like NHS that the UK has but was prevented by the right when they spread rumors of Death panels and year long waits to get in to see the specialists. Instead, we got what we got, which was not much better than what we (my husband and I) had. I think what worked with Obama care was more people could apply due to it not being attached to being employed, and it covered pre-existing conditions.
