It bears repeating:

America doesn't have a health CARE system. We have a health INSURANCE system. That ain't the same thing.

When anyone walks in the door, our first question isn't "How can we fix you?", it's "How're you gonna pay for this?"

That's barbaric.

It comes from having profit incentive at the core of our health CARE system. Those two things - profit incentive & health CARE are mutually exclusive propositions. They cannot co-exist.

The inmates are running our health care asylum and killing us because of it.

@Alan ACA was monumental because it regulated insurance companies in multiple ways. The 80/20 Rule requires insurance companies to spend 80% of the money they take in from premiums on health care costs and quality improvement activities.
No more denying insurance due to pre-existing conditions. No lifetime limits. The ACA closed the donut hole, known as the coverage gap. We now need a public option, with continued expansion of Medicare and Medicaid and alignment of the two. #singlepayer

@DebErupts Agree! The ACA was a giant first step toward universal single payer.

@Alan @DebErupts Agreed as well, but it's time for the next step to make this a healthcare system and reduce the influence of insurance.
