Here's a breaking update on numbers of people who have lost their health insurance as a result of COVID-19, by country.

@PTCdresser57 That's true, but at least Trump repealed the Individual Mandate. 🤮

And what are you gonna replace it with IstillmissEP? I never once saw a proposal from Trump's administration on their plan. There ya go...his own party in the House and Senate said no.

@IstillmissEP ObamaCare is better than the flaming sixteen car pileup that was the George W. Bush era situation but it's still pretty fucked up. If Trump wants to appeal the ACA then by all means go right ahead, but don't just replace it with fucking nothing.

And all that did was let ppl not get insurance BlueVeins.

I agree BlueMetalChick. I still think that just like anything new..the ACA should be tweaked. It isnt perfect but if someone would sit down and see where the shortfalls are..then fix those.

@PTCdresser57 I think it should be repealed and replaced with universal healthcare like every other civilized nation has.

@PTCdresser57 as opposed to taxing the poor at a higher rate

And how you gonna finance that 3 trillion plus dollars BlueMetalChick. If you do alot of reading up on it...universal healthcare isnt all that great.

@PTCdresser57 It's actually a lot cheaper than financing privatized healthcare, since there's a lot less administrative bloat in universal systems.

Do you know that the middle class such as myself pay more taxes now since 2017 BlueVeins. The taxes are not passed down to the poor...

BlueVeins...give me website you are looking at so I can go read it myself. Because every article I read last week says different.

@PTCdresser57

Well BlueVeins..all this proves to me is that the best healthcare in the world costs money. I live in Kansas City and we have some of the best hospitals in the world here. Like I have told many ppl...if I get cancer...heart problems..I am going to the University of Kansas hospital. Someday when you get older you might really know how insurance and budgets work.
Let me ask you something...do you know who or what dictates what insurance will cover?

@PTCdresser57 Gallup polling has revealed that Canadian healthcare has comparable satisfaction and much greater access.

@BlueVeins Where do you want your heart transplant performed > if needed >>>>? that's right I thought so..........

If you can wait up to 5 months to get it BlueVeins

@MarmeeMarch If I needed a heart transplant I would choose any modernized nation above America, including Canada.

Let me know how that all works for you when you get older BlueMetalChick. Hope you have the cash upfront to pay for it.

@PTCdresser57 I'll be long dead before that happens. My heart problems are far too expensive for me to afford.

Now BlueMetalChick...if your heart problems are that bad you would be placed on disability which means now the government is paying for your care under Medicaid.

@PTCdresser57 I'm not from the USA. I'm a war refugee from Yemen. I was granted asylum. I have a deteriorating heart condition because I suffered a severe electric shock when j was a preteen.
