The solution that the teacher gave being "medicare for all" would've never even been mentioned had it not been for Bernie Sanders and his campaign. I'm so proud of Bernie and I'm so proud of this teacher for stating the obvious solution to the problem in the richest nation on earth. Can you imagine being the wealthiest parent on earth and declining to pay for your children's health insurance? That is the predicament we're in as the wealthiest nation

1) it's was an expansion of medicaid, not medicare. they're different. 2) expansion of medicaid isn't necessarily the obvious solution. i'm not entirely sure how you could implement it given the current healthcare system. the other option would be to just increase the tax penalty. while senator black is not lying, she's also not stating the reason people choose to take the tax penalty instead of buying insurance (it's way cheaper to get the tax penalty). thus, if you just increased the tax penalty to a rate comparable to insurance, people would buy insurance and rates would go down for everyone (this is likely what hillary would have done).

A compassionate Christian - I knew they were around here somewhere! Lol. The Senator's answer to the teacher's question was that the Individual Mandate stlll left some people behind because some choose to pay the fine because they still couldn't afford health insurance and would rather pay the fine. The teacher already gave her the solution - expand Medicade to everyone. Yes, we have to pay higher taxes and no system is perfect but, a healthy and educated population is in everyone's best interest. It's time to make the wealthier in America pay their share, stop giving them tax breaks and dropping down regulations that - Heaven forbid - means they pay an extra dollar, and think of medical care and education as a right - not a privilege. We're paying high taxes now and getting less for it. Trump is giving the wealthy more tax breaks that they don't need. That's not a solution. In Blue states where ACA was rolled out in the manner intended, it worked. It was not perfect by any means but, better than what was there before. We need single payer because conservatives will fuck everything up on orders of the Koch brothers.

Not to mention that her stats are misleading. You have folks that have expanded coverage not through the exchange only. People have better coverage via employer insurance policies and medicaid as well. Employers with 50 employees or more have to provide coverage for employees working 30 hours or more. If they don't, they get fined and if they try to reduce employees hours they get fined. There were many people who were poor but not poor enough to qualify for medicaid, especially if they were single. It would be more costly to kick people off of insurance than to keep them on it. If these people lose insurance they may get too sick to work, which isn't productive for society. Also the exchange allows for further innovation, because their are folks who left their 9 to 5 jobs, to start businesses. These people wouldn't have done that without the creation of the ACA. There are a host of other benefits. But this paragraph is too long already.

Using the fines to help pay for people who can't afford health insurance is absolutely proper. This is Republican spin at its worst. Is Black a Christian? It's absolutely NOT a "false premise" but Black is using a false equivalent. One person who has money choosing to pay a fine is not "hurt" equally to one person who has to go bankrupt or die because he can't get health assistance. Also, you know what you do, Black? You gouge someone's paycheck just as you do with child support for the premiums and involuntarily place them on minimum coverage if they don't pick insurance themselves, and then you have 100% of citizens covered, if that is your goal. God, Republicans call themselves the party of Christianity and totally screw the less fortunate, which is the opposite of the foremost mantra of Christianity.

Sure Ill be fighting with you. But you are not, you are looing for someone else to pay. I believe firmly that if you tell the government and the health care industry that the American people will pay the bill, the bill will "suddenly" get larger. Let me ask you, oh compassionate one, do you own a car? Or maybe a house? Why? Why would you decide to own a house or a car instead of downsizing? DO you not know people are dying out there and could really use your money? Reminds me of what we did in Africa. Bleeding hearts were crying out, Africans having 10 kids and only 2 are living to adulthood. So what did we do? We sent them aid and guess what? All 10 kids survived to adulthood to have 10 kids of their own. SO guess what? They needed more aid and if we don't give it to them then we are horrible people who are just trying to save a few extra bucks. I would argue its you who needs compassion.

Just let everyone become eligible for Medicare or Medicaid based on age and military/ex-military gets seen by the VA. The insurance companies would be forced to lower their premiums to stay competitive.

I am Canadian and enjoy an inexpensive, comprehensive single payer health care system. In fact as a member of a trade union with a group health plan I also receive dental coverage with a small deductable. This is sensible, essentially apolitical socialism and the best possible use of taxes for the common good. I can't think of a more evil concept than making health care a for profit enterprise.

Just expand Medicare to include everyone, even veterans, because many veterans say that VA hospitals are dysfunctional. If everyone had the same insurance, then all medical providers would have to accept it because there would not be an alternative.

Young people can't imagine ever being old, ill and frail (until they are); able-bodied people can't imagine being disabled (until the car accident hits them); working people can't imagine being out of work, or homeless, (until the company they work for leaves the states to go to a cheaper country) and so on. We live in the world we create. And when we say to the elderly, the ill, the disabled, the homeless, not my problem, we shouldn't support them, then nothing will be there when you go homeless, or you get cancer, or you are injured on the job, or you can't afford to deal with any of that..... We live in the world we create and the world we are creating is a world of not my problem, too bad for you. So sad.

Healthcare is not a RIGHT, nor is it an obligation of the Government. Healthcare is a private industry that has very good lobbyist who sway politicians in their favor. The government has no Constitutional Authority to tell anyone what they have to buy.

She's incorrect that 20 million people were helped and another 20 million were hurt. Those people who opted to pay the fine instead of getting insured were not hurt; they just weren't helped.

The fine goes to paying for emergency visits. It's not like the fine goes to nothing. It helps those who are not covered and have to goto the ER. Republicans hated free loaders and now that ACA helps bring in funds that wouldn't normally be there and prevents possibly future costs but it's still not good enough.

Most of the young people who chose not to insure themselves through the ACA were not provided enough information about it so that they could see the need for health insurance. The younger you are, the more difficult it is to picture something bad happening to you. Insurance of all kinds is a hard sell to young adults. What the republicans refuse to admit is that eliminating the ACA will not address this issue.

We didn't pay the fine because we thought we were healthy we paid the damn fine because we couldn't afford the $500 a month for just our child so the fine was cheaper which was $1,000 per person. The Obamacare Affordable Care Act representative told me that just to cover my five-year-old child that it would be 50% of my monthly income that did not include my husband and I. We were just a few dollars for the year over having massive subsidies and they wouldn't give us a break. I am all for Medicaid for all! Thank God that's not my income anymore but jeez I don't know how anyone is supposed to survive if they get sick.

I mean, she is right. I don't have health insurance because I can't even afford the lowest plans available. But because of Obama care I now have to pay this fee of around $700. All it did for me was add another bill I have to worry about.

the rules have to be changed. If you are diagnosed with cancer then you should be able to be covered thru and thru, but if you are a hypochondriac calling the ambulance ever time you hiccup once a week, then you need to be in your own healthcare pool of hypochondriacs. Also when the insurance says no, we aren't paying $60K for this surgery already performed, then there needs to be a law that says the hospital can't turn around and charge the patient. This will keep costs and hospital fraud down.

The issue with the individual mandate is a) just because it is the Christian thing to do does not mean that I may be compelled to do it and b) it represents the government compelling me to enter into a contract with a commercial concern. These are wrong in America.
