I am not in support of the ACA, if you had read my previous posts.
Market Healthcare fails because consumers have the least amount of negotiating power when they are most desperate as with most healthcare situations. People don't buy in until they need to which also kills the market system.
Quasi Care like Obamacare fails because placing a government option within a market system effectively does very little. The mandate tries to make everyone have care but because the system itself is still broken, it just punishes the poor.
I am all for Obamacare repeal so long as single payer is enacted.
You are talking about rationing in the UK, Nothing comes close to people literally forgoing care because they can't afford it here in the US. The US has by far the worst case of rationing in any developed nation.
We are the richest nation in the history of the world, yes we can provide healthcare like every other nation does. Yes, taxes can pay for it like they do in other nations.
I also believe we need to cut spending in certain areas. Close Tax loopholes on corporations/top earners and cut the military which we spend 400 billion more on then any other nation (Before I get hit for this, I come from a 4th generation military family and most of my family agrees).
Also, there seems to be a prevalence in calling people who can't afford it lazy. That is just unequivocally false, will there always be people who abuse the system? Yes. But calling anyone who can't afford basic care and education lazy is just... lazy.
