Americans are unhappy with the state of health care and insurance

Americans are unhappy with the state of health care and insurance - Lemmy.World

Summary Polls show a majority blame insurance and pharmaceutical companies for high costs, denied claims, and access issues. Only 44% rate U.S. health care quality as “good” or “excellent,” a 20-year low. Support for government intervention is rising, with 62% favoring federal responsibility for universal health care. Meanwhile, satisfaction with the Affordable Care Act has grown, with 54% approving. Trump’s unclear health care overhaul plans are entering a polarized environment where Americans remain split on private versus government-run systems.

We want universal healhcare. Those who “suffer” due to lack of income after it rolls out can tall to a therapist for low to no cost.

Some of you want that. Some of us do not want that.

I want to eliminate company provided healthcare. There may be better programs for me, but if I try to look elsewhere I discover that my company pays more than $1000/month for my insurance and if I go elsewhere I lose that all. As such no other plans can compete with what I get. In turn that means my insurance reports to and cares about my company and not what I think.

You need to go back and read what I said, not make a comment that completely ignores my argument. Yes universal healthcare is for that, but there are other options that I support instead.

If tou really want go to private clinic, you still can. Even somewhere like Belarus. And private clinic there will be better than private clinic in country without UHC. Guess why.
