That is demonstrably not the case, exemplified by the fact that health care access has not been improved by the ACA but the president continues to lie claiming it has been. Furthermore, the quality of care has declined substantially, which is most demonstrated by the focus on the computer screen instead of the patient and the move to midlevel providers by offices everywhere, prima facie proof of lesser quality of care.
>> The law as written pays for itself..
This, of course, is not true. Even with massive tax increases, we know it doesn't come close.
While I'm not a fan of Stephen Brill, he does get this right:
“Bad news: We have no way in the world that we’re gonna be able to pay for it,” he adds.
He is correct on this. These subsidies, no way. The drug costs, no way. The Medicaid expansion, no way.
There are positives happening -- Walmart and Walgreens putting in walk-in clinics where people can get no-frills urgent care visits for cheap. In fact, urgent care is becoming far more important under ACA because traditional primary care is no longer an option for many.
Well, the argument will never end until the disaster becomes so bad it is apparent to those of you who know nothing about it. That could take a few years. Even then you'll never admit it.
You say health care is a national priority but the reality is that for you politics is the real national priority. |
