That's more important than the cost, I hope you see that. It's the most fucked up thing that people are okay with other people dying or losing every cent they have because of unaffordable medical costs when there are systems in place in so many countries that have successfully prevented that. Boggles my mind.
All people hear is "TAX RAISE" but for some reason "NO INSURANCE PREMIUMS" doesn't get the same amount of traction. You would save money. Without a doubt. I blame Reagan. His philosophy completely duped the middle class for the next fuckin century.
Am I going to keep my same health services for the same or similar costs. Because I have heard that before. I call shenanigans.
Free always seems to cost more!
A two tier system preserves private insurance. ACA was not two tier because the neoliberal hacks at the head of the Dem party didnt want to try universal health care. What they did was a more complex middle ground. In fact you could probably do away with a lot of the ACA regulations on the private sector because private insurance would need to compete with the free public system.
