I think we are moving more and more towards the side of the former. No matter which way we go, it's not going to be pretty, but there needs to be a major overhaul of the system or it is going to collapse. Medicare for all seems like the solution that is the easiest now, but if we don't do things to curb the actual cost of the healthcare it won't matter because it will become a system of choosing which way you want to go broke.
yes, there are people who abuse themselves and don't care. We can't fix them or change that. We need to understand that is part of the equation and try to make a system that works for as many people as possible.

It sounds great heathcare for all but its not gonna happen. They are saying by 2030 the usa will have a shortage of 120,000 physicians. Why should people who do what the should do have less quality of care then someone that abuses there body. Why should you or anyone else have to flip the bill for those individuals.
Lets look at Obama care when it started i was punching in numbers yeah sure the monthly payments were cheap but damn the deductibles were crazy. $2000,$3000 all the way up to $10,000. If you are on Obama care you cant afford the deductibles which means insurance company's eat cost and raises rates on those who pay full price.
The whole system is fucked up but asking the government to come in and fix it is a big mistake. These fuckers in Washington on the left and right have fucked this country up so much over the past 50 years its sickening. You can not show me anything that the government has got involved in last 50 years that's better off now. Only thing government does now is divide us and fuck us for there own personal and political gain.
