It's pretty well a disgrace that the wealthiest country on Earth has a situation where vulnerable or poor people are not covered with some type of universal care.
In Australia we have a 2% Medicare levy on taxable income, and you're done. It doesn't stop anyone from still having private insurance if they want certain perks like being able to choose their own specialist. But I've had a few operations over the years including a rod down my tibia and cutting edge robotic work, by absolute top specialists in their field without needing to pay anything more than the reasonable 2% levy.
How Americans whether die hard Republicans, or die hard Democrats or even die hard Trumpsters, can still buy Trump saying one week before an election that 'we have a beautiful health care replacement for obamacare' and we'll reveal it soon, meaning they do not have one, is impossible to understand.
Why? Because he was elected on dismantling Obamacare and replacing it. He has been saying for four years, the entire time the same thing. His justice department is in court right now as we speak seeking to completely invalidate obamacare in it's entirety which include preexisting condition, yet he still says they aren't going to do that.
while they are actually doing it. How do you people of any political persuasion buy this? Four fcuking years later and he still has no plan. He said to Chris Wallace in that infamous interview a few months ago that he'll release it in two weeks. He's been saying this bullshit for four years.
It's like his 'tax cuts'. He still goes on about how 'the Democrats will up your taxes'. Well if you're a billionaire you're correct. And look at his continual stock market boasts, that's just the super wealthy benefiting from the tax cuts to corporations. Why would ordinary Americans ever buy into this? It's impossible for me to understand.
You're so obviously being fleeced. Even if you disagree with some of the Democrat policies, is that any reason to allow the GOP to enrich the wealthy and harm the ordinary person with regards to health care? I really don't get it.
