Do you agree? What is worse, filing for bankruptcy for a medical condition or because you are required to pay for everyone to be covered?  |

To add to this, I was thinking about this last night, do you feel healthcare is a right?

It would seem so, you don't need any kind of insurance policy to be treated by the NHS for free. The NHS is funded through our taxes and national insurance contributions, even if you pay no tax or NI contributions you're still entitled to free health care.

I think both having to file for bankruptcy due to an illness or going totally broke because of "Obamacare's" enormous costs suck.
The first one shouldn't happen, we should have a special safety net for those VERY RARE situations. The 2nd one shouldn't happen either, we shouldn't be forced to buy insurance and vastly increased rates with coverages we don't want or need or face fines/penalties from the government.
Right now I am about to have to drop my health insurance and pay the penalty unless Congress starts to work with President Trump on fixing this Obamacare fuckshow. My health insurance is nearly 10k/year now....it is unaffordable.

To add to this, I was thinking about this last night, do you feel healthcare is a right? I think the USA considers it a right, look at medicade which we have had for decades (free health insurance for poor americans) All the fear mongering to justify the passage of the "Affordable Care Act" aka Obamacare was nothing more than a bunch of red herrings and partial truths. |
