Healthcare worldwide is tough. Like Ezra said, there is no one good system out there. Even the best countries like France have had to make tough tradeoffs and paid the political price. The problem is Republicans are not happy with the tradeoffs that ACA makes and they aren't stating the tradeoffs that they would rather make. And to be honest, it looks like they don't want to pay any political price, they only want to score political points from the repeal.

The true way to assess how costly or not is a health care system is either by share health care spending as a % of GPD or health care spending per capita, including BOTH public and private spending. On both count (per capite or % of GDP), the US is wayyyyyyy ahead of all other OECD contries. Canada is pretty much on the average of rich country for that.

Wasn't the Obamacare plan the so-called "conservative" healthcare plan to begin with (as opposed to the liberal option of single payer health insurance like in France and Sweden)? If I remember correctly, wasn't it a Reagan era think tank that develop basically this policy, and was implemented by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts? Maybe that is why they are having such trouble with the replacement; this was their idea, and Obama used it for their support and they decided not to support the law anyway. Kind of like how it became unacceptable to hold a confirmation hearing on Merrick Garland, even though conservatives in Congress were openly saying that, if Obama wanted to be bipartisan (which they assumed he wouldn't be), he would nominate Garland...

We're quickly being taken over by China, though, because China is developing a decent-sized economy very quickly and are becoming far more scientifically-literate than us. (You can thank conservative Christians and an under-funded, under-emphasized public education system for the US's failure, here.) Unfortunately for you, China IS a one-party communist state. And because people like you don't understand the worth of a government investing in one's citizens, THEY will soon be the next world superpower.

Hanc Obamacare or the ACA is the half way because its a compromise. The best way is that everyone pay a tax so that there is enough money to cover everyone. There is nothing wrong with letting the market decide but the problem is that insurance companies only insure people that doesnt really get sick, so that they make a lot more profit. Thats why people couldnt get insurance because of pre-existing conditions. Anyone with signs of using the insurance was denied of it. There was no regulation and people were not happy. Those that really needed insurance needed to end working with a big company to get it. ACA is not perfect but its better than having no nothing.

really late on this but for me free healthcare is better than the way private healthcare is done in US, but it's still not the best. It's prone to overusage and high costs as a result of not having to pay anything(in the EU i think there's one country that has the free healthcare for all, but even foreigners come over just for the free healthcare and it's a big burden.) It's better if there is a nationwide basic health insurance scheme controlled directly by the government(medicare and stuff) that pays a portion(some is funded from your own pockets to still make sure you don't overuse it)(portion varies depending on quality of stay, like luxurious vs standard) and public hospitals(can keep private hospitals but public should be the norm). Then, additional stuff like medifund to help needy, and additional insurance for those who want it. Basically make it partially free, but not totally

As a Canadian I can say that for most us up here in the north free health care is amazing, hospitals run perfectly health clinics are great and there's never the worry of can I afford it. However, there are a few problems, at a regular clinic the time to see the doctor is lengthy around an hour wait time but you can avoid that be asking when the doctor is going to be free and showing up at that time to avoid the wait. For the US I believe you should attempt to adopt a free healthcare system. By this I mean you're not paying for insurance you're paying for free health care out of taxes and if you can manage to elect representatives who aren't money hungry liars increase taxes on the rich to lower the taxes for the majority. With your population and the wealth your people have you can easily establish a free healthcare system while still paying lower taxes than us Canadians.

@Unlocked I see where you're coming from but there are two fundamental problems to that. First, in the current healthcare system, American's have, there isn't much competition. If look at many industries that provide vital services for the automotive industry or smartphone industry competition has brought us amazing products but in healthcare, it's a completely different story. Due to the unique nature of the industry, high startup costs, lengthy legal procedures and high maintenance costs there are only a few large corporations controlling many smaller companies under them. The cost of healthcare has continued to rise while the quality has not and for your over the counter drugs the prices have run off the charts. The second thing is competition while still be there because there are TWO parties. Healthcare has become a popular discussion in U.S politics and any party failing to improve or maintain the healthcare standards would harm itself when it comes to elections this being very prevalent in all other first world countries that provide free healthcare. And again compared to what your medical insurance costs and pharmaceutical costs the price is not much higher. Private healthcare right now is coming to no one's advantage except the executives who own the companies. If you push for better or even reasonable tax laws on your rich(which you have a lot of) this can be a very easy reality. Not to mention the over inflated budgets the NSA, Armed Forces and other agencies use could be reduced by very small amounts to further decrease costs.

Deregulation(if done properly) leads to easier entry into the market and more competition which lowers prices. Also, if the federal government allows companies to expand their risk pools this will push deductibles down. It seems somewhat fallacious to say that removing regulation will cause deductibles to rise without at least citing why this would be the case. Ps. I beleieve deregulation would only work if barriers to enter the insurance market were eliminated in all the states. In our current oligopolistic situation I agree that deregulation could prove problematic.

As a republican I can tell you my major problem with Obamacare is his so called "affordable" healthcare costs me $2,000 a month. Up from the $400 a month before the ACA was enacted. There is absolutely nothing affordable about affordable healthcare. Not only is it now my biggest monthly expenses, it has cost me more than $100,000 since I signed up. "Affordable" healthcare has literally made me broke.

Why is it that Europe and Canada can do this right but we can't? I know people who live in Canada and Europe and they think America is crazy for not having universal health care. The fact is we have corporations running health care. This is always the reason why ObamaCare isn't working; you have corporations increasing the cost, and then goes down to the middle man. The governments of Canada and Europe own the Health Care system; which means your taxes you pay per month/year would got into a insurance of your choosing. Health is Health Care. You should have to choose a plan; there should be ONE for ALL! The rich get the same care of the field worker or factory worker. You need to go to Cornell Hospital for treatment? Sure! You need Stanford Medical Surgery? Sure! It should ALL be the same! Its not hard! Its really isn't. But America's mind set is " Its All About Me!" As American's we need to take care of each other. Once we start doing that; taking care of your fellow human being things might actually change.

It was supposed to: lengthen the time you could stay on your parent's insurance plans, reduce discrimination in applying for insurance (for people with pre-existing conditions it could get insurance easier because before companies refused them) and most importantly the individual mandate which requires everyone to have insurance or a fine. Because more people would sign up the prices would lower for all. However a couple years ago the mandate backfired and people choose the fine and left causing premiums to rise.

Nafehur Rahman Khan People choose a premium (monthly payment) of $150, $250, etc. Higher premium means less deductible and higher copay %. A doctor visit is $150. Health insurer negotiates it down to $110 or $100 depending on your premium. You pay $20 or $10 now and pay the remaining $90 end of year. A hospital visit is $4000, negotiation, so on. Why billed $90? Because your deductible is $5000 or $2500, meaning you are responsible for this amount before the insurer copays (receives) 80%, 90% of your bills. If someone gets $1 million cancer treatment, overall cost becomes ($110k, $65k). Higher premium ("gamble" more) results in lower overall cost when needed. Without insurance, he owes $1M plus fines. ACA ("Obamacare") passed through a contentious Congress, stripped as compromise to the GOP and Independents (not Bernie), and needed improvements (lower premium, lower deductible, lower drug costs, ... ) for 6 years, but the GOP did nothing because they're heavily bribed and want America to fail miserably (shut down government, Republican Mitch McConnell filibustered his own bill in 2012), blame Obama, and promote a one party country to write religious laws, use trickle down economy again, "appeal" supreme court rulings, ... Note, ACA was written in the 90s by Conservative Republicans (not moderates) as a compromise to Hillarycare (Clinton's universal healthcare plan). Obama faced a split Congress so basically ACA passed with Democrat's improvements (prevent overpricing) scrapped. Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and many Republicans praised the ACA before Obama, but now call it terrible because it passed under Obama and helps poorer red states making a Democrat presidency look good, they made sure to not improve it. ACA saved a lot of people with breast cancer, throat cancer, etc. Healthier poor people without employer healthcare don't want to pay in the meantime and want it repealed (risk having no healthcare to pay nothing).

Obamacare was a messy compromise that came out of the conflict between agendas of the two parties. You need to take a closer look at what happened in Canada, both with respect to drug costs and medical cost. Why not look at a system that is far more cost effective? The essence of that system is a single payer, putting a reasonable cap on what can be charged, of course restricting the freedom of providers to run up costs. Canadian physicians and other health providers are not completely banned from working outside the insurance system, but it is so much easier to bill public insurance that few physicians do it. Negotiations with physicians are based on total costs for the year, so the increasing usage that you see as our population ages is included in the deal. By allowing physicians to be private practitioners, they pay for nonunion outpatient nursing and clerical costs, another source of cost savings. Even drugs are dramatically cheaper. Until a political solution coming from real leadership happens, America will never be happy with their options. You need to expect more from your political leaders than angry rhetoric and failed communication. Try electing people who are willing to talk, compromise, and work together for something bigger than their parties.

Obamacare makes us self-insured because, not only are we are paying the monthly premiums, but we're paying for visits, procedures, and medicines. 4., "Death Committees" are built-in to the legislation so the elderly will be denied necessary procedures if they reach the cut-off age. 5., The administration group running Obamacare is operating at a deficit, thus adding to our National Debt.

There are limits to executive orders. You can't make laws with them, hence why he needed congress to pass the law in the first place. His executive orders had to do with running his agencies, not making new laws. The republican controlled congress continually voted to repeal, and stood there ground to not improve it as to hope for it's demise. The truth is, the Republican platform is that it believes that health care isn't something that should be a right of all people, and that the government shouldn't get involved. Which runs counter to what Trump has been promising. They will NOT deliver something better, and if they do, it will be a major shift away from the party platform in order to not piss off there constituents and loose seats in the mid terms. They have yet to get behind a plan. We are all waiting.

What they are intending to do is to break down state by state coverage because under the current system every insurance company needs to build infrastructure in every state, which is a very costly process and it limits competition. If we break down these state by state rules and allow people do go across borders to purchase health insurance just as they do with life insurance it will create more competition and all insurance companies are selling the same thing, so there is very little that is proprietary. This means that the fundamentals of the free market apply to this scenario and therefore it would be highly probable for Americans to see lower deductibles and monthly payments. *It was President Trump's idea to break down state by state coverage.

In addition, they'll allow pre-tax savings contributions to healthcare savings accounts. This eliminates fed/state taxes on health expenses and also lowers tax brackets. These are only two out of many changes.

One of the bigguest reasons why you see so many liberal leaning news sources is because of the fundamental differences between Liberalism and conservatism in America. Conservative Families try to impart skills to succeed, to compete and to be self reliant adults to their children. Their vocations tend to be military, police, stockbrokers(almost all of wall street lean conservative) and Judges. Liberal families impart generally Openness, empathy and reflection, all through asking questions and also, different to conservatives, a push to accepting moral diversities. This is why you see how universities lean liberal as well, most professors, scientists and teachers lean liberal, so the people who go to college tend to end up being formed up to be liberal as well. Media falls into this category as well as a strong self reliant and individual adult mights not be interested in pursuing a career than searches for answers to questions and shaking the status quo through it(afterall conservatives are looking for perservation) Neither of these ideologies are objectively superior to one another but they create different adults and therefore proffesions tend to be dominated by one type of individual. This is not 100% true to all households and families of course, a large section of people are afterall independants and are stuck in more gray areas but this is how it generally goes. Oh and you should stop watching Broadcasters and just read newspapers. Broadcasters normally just parrot what newspapers investigate.

The US has worked itself into a corner over Obamacare. The only way out is to adopt another model that works better. This can be found in many other countries. BUT - Private Health insurance won't be part of it. It's too expensive because US corporations expect to make HUGE profits rather than something reasonable. The Answer is what the US calls single payer - the US government negotiates prices with pharmas, doctors, hospitals, etc on behalf of everyone who wants to be covered. This wouldn't just be the 30 million or so currently covered by Obamacare, it'd be the other 100 million or so who also want better priced care.

You know, in my United States Government course in college, 1 thing my professor taught us was that we in the U. S. don't have a "perfect government" but rather we have "the least imperfect government." What he meant by this was that no government on Earth is perfect/without problems, but the United States is considered by many to be the greatest country not because we have no problems but because we have fewer/smaller problems when compared to the governments of the rest of the world. Another thing he said (which the international students in my course agreed with) was that unless you have seen/been affected by a foreign government in some way, you can't make a true comparison between our government and another nation's, and you fail to realize how much better off you are with the U. S.'s problems when compared to the rest of the world. I bring this up because I feel that the Republican's issues with the Affordable Care Act/ObamaCare are the same as what my college professor said about our government; the A. C. A./ObamaCare isn't perfect, but it is the least imperfect form of health insurance we have ever had (given how only 1 party wanted to work on it), and despite the Republicans best (or any) efforts over the past 8 years, there is nothing they can do to make the A. C. A./ObamaCare better without making at least 1 part of it worse. Regardless how you feel about it, the A. C. A./ObamaCare has helped nearly 25 million (or 1 out of 14) Americans by now guaranteeing them some form of health insurance. If the Republicans (who in 8 years have made little to no progress on making an actual replacement plan) repeal the A. C. A./ObamaCare, then millions of poor/working class Americans will be screwed by the politicians who they trusted to make policies and laws with the interests for the good of their voters. As this video has shown, no matter what the (hopefully sooner than later) replacement plan is, they can't make every good thing better, remove every bad thing, and not increase prices/taxes all within the same plan, so Republicans either have to admit they have no real backup plan and just move on or actually work with Democrats and admit that the A. C. A./ObamaCare is good but can be improved but only through compromise before their voters finally realize that Republicans don't really care about them and they decide to vote for Democrats in 2018. Oh and 1 more thing, in that photo of Paul Ryan and the other Republicans laughing, did any1 else have a flashback to the Austin Powers movie where Dr. Evil and the other villains were laughing, slowly stopped, then had no idea what to do next? Well, if Republicans decide to repeal without a replacement, then that scene will represent the situation the Republicans will have put themselves in.
