The problem isn't solved by FORCING people against their will to take the money that they earned for their family and pay for other people to go to the doctor.
The problem IS that the doctor visit, prescription meds, and hospital costs are many times HIGHER in the United States than anywhere else in the world.
I can literally walk across the border from San Diego to Tijuana and go to a pharmacy there and get my prescriptions for a fraction of the cost.
Any of you who have let the govt. scare you into driving 2 miles across the border into Tijuana would be shocked to see that it's full of clinics, hospitals, doctors, and pharmacies.
Most of the doctors live in San Diego (U.S. licensed doctors).
They are packed with patients. From elective surgery to life threatening surgery. If you are paying $10,000 in San Diego in the U.S. to have it done...drive 5 minutes south and you'll get the same exact thing done for $3,000. And you can get your prescription filled for a fraction of the cost.
The ripoff of the American people is the problem here.

yes american healthcare is way over priced, but that isn't an obamacare problem, that already existed. Also to a certain extent we subsidize the rest of the world healthcare costs by overcharging americans, just like we subsidize many countries militaries by overcharging americans for it.
"I shouldn't be paying for ANYTHING for anyone else unless I CHOOSE to contribute to charity." so everyone should have to opt in to roads and other infastructure, army, etc? Completely and totally unrealistic outlook that would more or less put us into a state of anarchy
