Health Care Is Still Killing America
Obamacare didn't change anything; we are fucked. Costs are going up for health care consumers, and spending overall for health care in the USA is still out of control with nothing resembling universal coverage. At best, the ACA was a band-aid to increase access slightly, and it did that. Fine, just fine. But that was not enough. The supporters and fluffers and other asswhipes will say that it was the first step to a real universal system, but I don't see that happening in any of the years since the ACA first passed. In fact, political support for universal healthcare of any kind is non-existent outside of the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. The Democratic party is as useless as ever. Tax credits or not, $600 a month with a $6000 deductible is not affordable, and I personally saw that option for someone when they tried to get in on the health care exchange. No go and they still don't have coverage.
