[quote=joec] . . . I agree that ACA still needs a lot of work and why for me, probably the most important thing in the election is healthcare and I want single payer.
Cut benefits, destroy the current healthcare/insurance/drug companies/monopolies/power.
The problem is only in America, if you have 1 medical emergency you can’t pay for, you will be bankrupt if you don’t have decent coverage.
At that point, might as well go to jail.[/quote]joec, IIRC, you are a CC customer. I take it that you are planning on voting for Bernie Sanders in the primary.
I am a CC customer and also (pretty much) a one-issue voter this year. That is, I want obamacare repealed and replaced and it can’t be soon enough for me. So I’ll be voting for Trump in the primary. But if a one-off incident is somehow successful in derailing his candidacy at the convention (highly unlikely), I’ll be voting for Sanders in the general election IF he gets the nomination. If he doesn’t, then I won’t be voting for president in the general election.
I’d take a single payer system any day of the week (with an option to “upgrade” it with a supplement) than the horrendous pile of horsesh!t we are currently living with. I predict obamacare premiums will go up $250-$300 month in 2017 in my age group and region … with dozens more local providers (maybe hundreds) dropping off the few available plans we have to choose from.
