    Health care was terrible before Obamacare, very heavily regulated and very expensive. Obamacare simply made it worse, but to say everyone was happy before ACA is simply inaccurate.

    FIRST!
    P.S: Ron Paul is right! The government should NOT be involved in health care. We should abolish Trump care and have a free-market health care with no mandate.

      Who ever said that what Trump is proposing will be called Trump care. I don't ever recall that it will be called by name. If I didn't hear it straight from the horse's mouth himself then it's not called Trump care. Until he starts saying it in his own words then and only then that's what it shall be called and what we got as health care.

      Isn't the mandate what makes insurance, INSURANCE?

      Then get rid of Medicare and see how that works out. Also, take his government healthcare away as well as tricare from the military.

      why would they drop?
      it's a free market, no one regulates the prices, if they decide to jack up the price for a life-saving drug, you will still buy it (you'll have to sell your house and be homeless, but you'll pony up)
      think about it. that's what martin shkreli did (before his trip to prison)

      @@NeganLucilleForever because these hospitals know how much they can overcharge people that are fully met with insurance because the patient does care because its not their money. Its the insurance company's money. So getting rid of insurance these hospitals would have to be transparent on prices and patients would care more about how much it costs.

      @@juanfelipe8484 as a Canadian who's been through our "free" healthcare system, you are completely right. A free market is the best, competition and incentives for better treatments and cures at an affordable price because if it's not affordable or effective treatment the company doesn't make any money and can't survive.

    Whatever happened to your right to decide, your personnel freedom to self determination. When Obamacare was passed it was an epiphany moment when I truly realized what this country had become. There is no protection for consumers, it's all about corporate profit. We the people are treated like a resource to be exploited!!!!!!

      Do you even know the difference between corporatism and capitalism? Corporatism is cronyism, it's when the government gets involved in the economy and creates monopolies, and prevents small businesses from becoming successful. Capitalism involves little government involvement, and allows for small businesses to succeed. Do not confuse the two.

      I was a huge Ron Paul libertarian back in the day. Ron Paul is a decent human being, but he is paper tiger when it comes to regulating crony capitalism. The liberty movement in the United States largely abandoned principle to support Donald Trump-a collosal corporate welfare queen. Libertarians these days may as well a Goldman Sachs employee badge.

      the issue with healthcare is cronyism. pharma uses government like the fda to ban private labs etc that use stem cells or whatever from entering the usa. that's why you have to go to black market this world countries for that stuff. socialized healthcare is pharma using government to control the distribution of their products.

    Single payer can use free enterprise, but the corps don't let that happen. You create the super pool, and contract much of it out. If you will work for what the gov pays, you can take a share of the work.
    The prices go up because the people have no choice, and the corps do as they like. We wouldn't know what to choose anyway. It would take a doctor 10 years to figure out the best way to do it, or else we just block copy the british system and it's done.

    So you want us to feel sorry for insurance companies? that have a 24%+ operating cost and must show billions in profits Paid Out to their CEOs, board members, stockholders. when Medicare runs at a 6% overhead cost, because they're not paying Billions to CEOs and Millionaires and billionaires and Having to showing profits... Let the hard-working folks at the Private insurance companies go to work for Social Security office they will need their help. Let us buy into Medicare!!! CEOs and board members or management let them find somewhere else to rip off...

      No one is telling you to feel sorry for insurance companies, it's a matter that stifling competition and creating artificial monopolies like the government has done before only increases the cost for the average person.
