If you want to give universal healthcare to the population, you should at the very, very, least, tackle bloated costs of insurance first. The US has the highest healthcare costs in the world. Fix that, then work on getting everyone involved, not the other way around. That is pretty straight forward. Obamacare was a stupid way to fix the underlying issue. As far as big government, you should travel to Cuba, Venezuela and China, and ask the people what they think about 'big government' and more 'regulations'. You might learn something.
Cuba, Venezuela suffer from other issues, called corruption. China is running a pretty tight ship, most people are quite satisfied and happy. Maybe you should give them some credit given the base they started off from, the Chinese economic miracle is orders of magnitude higher than anything the US and Americans have gone through. On healthcare, so, why is nobody tackling the high healthcare costs in the US? Why is this not even on Trump's agenda? Care to enlighten me?
Hilarious. You clearly have no idea how or why America became some great. Amazing how some push the idea of Big Government as being a precursor to economic prosperity. Lack of education I suppose.
Healthcare in America is free for the poor and the elderly. What more do you want? It was affordable before the Affordable Care Act. If we took all the money we spend on military defending socialist countries we could buy pills for everyone. Healthcare is improved by removing government involvement. Once you get the governments greedy hands out of it costs come down. If you want the government to lower costs why not start on something simple, like a pack of cigarettes?
If you don't qualify for medicaid the government has determined you are not poor. If you don't qualify for Medicare the government has determined you are not elderly.
