Facebook Exchange With Xtian Fundie Friend About Obamacare And Other Healthcare Systems

For every story of a Canadian coming to the United States for medical and dental services, I venture there are 10,000 Americans — like me -- who go to Mexico for treatment.

You probably haven’t heard about it, but there’s another mass migration coming across the U.S.-Mexico border. However, these aren’t Central American

  • Karen Kolbinsky you are right there are those without health insurance here who go to Mexico for treatment.. so what about Obama Care? what happened there? are you saying it doesn't work? and thankfully at least you are free to cross that southern border and my guess See More
    • Alan Archibald Karen Kolbinsky Obamacare was the best deal that could be worked out while trying to incorporate enough Republican “ideas” to persuade the GOP to make “common cause.”

      Left to his own devices, Obama would have legislated a government-backed universal See More
    • Karen Kolbinsky oh of course.. even though so many working people lost their own insurance when the price of Obamacare went through the ceiling and the price of buying insurance for anyone who works for a living outside the government was no longer affordable? sure for those living on welfare it worked .. for drug addicts who use the emergency room like the rest of us do a doctor's office. Until you are personally effected, lose everything you have worked for yourself and see for yourself how bad this is for those of us who have there's no way you will really care or understand the importance of a free economy and the right of anyone who works for living to do what he or she chooses with their own money and not be forced to turn it over to thieves who call themselves "public servants"
    • Alan Archibald Here's a careful study of the 2.6 million Americans who lost insurance due to Obamacare.

      And here's a study of the 8.5 million people who signed up for Obamacare this year even though there was no longer an individual mandate which "forced" them to join.

      As previously mentioned, Obama would have instituted universal healthcare that was ultimately "backed by the government" - just as Donald Trump advocated during his presidential campaign - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-on-healthcare-i...

      But despite Obama's control of the House AND the Senate during his first two years in office, 44 did not want to force a universal healthcare system that would "cover everyone immediately (as is done in every other developed country) and so he devised Obamacare as the least horrible system he could create while taking into account the weak-but-extant GOP desire for a healthcare plan based on Republican Mitt Romney's healthcare system for Massachusetts.

      I have lived in Canada for 4 years and know "as an eye witness" that, generally speaking, Canadians are quite pleased with their healthcare system - far more so that Americans whether before or after Obamacare.
