National health care ?

[CleanDawg]

It's signing day and UGA just signed a historic class, and you morons are still droning on and on about politics. No wonder this board has become a joke.



That's what happens when you cut funding and are no longer funding it. The ridiculous amount of money we waste in this country on bullshit would fund national healthcare.

This isn’t the Vault. The Chats will always be political.

The health insurance companies have been allowed to operate much like public utilities and had no incentive to control cost. Due to regulations they have been forced to provide certain levels of coverage and then allowed to recoup cost times x. This model has made it profitable to accept higher cost because X percent of 100 billion is more than X percent of 50 billion.

Before the ACA, I actually had a fairly efficient model. I could buy a really good catastrophic plan with a max 10K per yr out of pocket. Sure, I would pay my family doc a couple of hundred for my annual physical or a sick visit but I was covered for a major illness. Today, I'm forced into a 2K per month premium with 3500.00 deductible. It's not the doctors, hospitals or big pharma that screwed up my policy.

I am an insurance agent. The plan you had before ACA was not available for people 50 plus if taking prescription drugs. It was great for you who could get it.

What the hell were we thinking. We should focus on what really matters.

Oops...then you join in the discussion which you think is stupid. Hypocrite much? I think I have figured it out. You just don't want to hear other points of view on a subject since they conflict with your opinion.

The ridiculous amount of money the government wastes is not their money...it belongs to the taxpayers. This money should be returned to them and then they could afford healthcare/health insurance and many other things.
