>> Your comment suggests things should go back to where they were a year or two ago.....we already were rated one the worst healthcare systems in the world.... Do you go the ER for your healthcare ?? First of all, we don't need to "go back". As we know, even in a post Obamacare world the ER gets used by people who are both uninsured and insured. It just doesn't matter. For all but 40 hours out of the week, a person who need medical care is referred to the ER. I pay for insurance, so I go to the ER when I need to but go to my doctor when I don't need the ER. But there is a very big difference between me and, for example, a Medicaid beneficiary. That person on Medicaid has no motivation at all to wait until the doctors office is open. He's not paying a fucking nickel to go to the ER. So, when he gets sick, he'd just as soon go to the ER as to wait until an appointment next week. Honestly, discussing health care with you is a waste because you are so fucking ignorant you don't even comprehend the basics.
