How does Obamacare actually work and why Americans still don't have a single-payer system?

America doesn't have a single payer system because:
>insurance agencies lobby against it
>fox news, right wing pundits and self proclaimed """ moderate""" democrats say ITS SOCIALISM and socialism bad
>HOW ARE WE GONNA PAY FOR IT??? despite America spending more on Healthcare per capita than any other country. We could use the money we currently spend on Healthcare and cover everyone

Single payer is literally economically beneficial to the country as a whole, but we live in a corporatocracy where business matters more than the people.

Is it possible to see a change after, let's say, bommers and their voting patterns are gone?

i think obamacare made the thing expensive for everyone else, and everyone has to have insurance now

>bommers and their voting patterns are gone
Soon.

People that pay monthly to be part of the obamacare coverage gets cheaper health bills.People that don't have more expensive health billd than they used to

Possibly and probably, even a lot of people on the right think the situation needs to be changed. Hard to say though since a lot of boomers and their stupid offspring will vote against their own interests time and time again.

Theyve lied to their kids and the kids believe the same that their parents do.
It'll be hard

obamacare is much like poolandcare, mafia run and corrupt.

welcome to the shithole club, murica. LOL

Are you 15 or so?
Polish healthcare, shitty as it is, actually saves lives and gives treatment to people who would never be able to afford it.

>Polish healthcare, shitty as it is

lets just leave it at the, deluded poolak.

can't be worse than what we have in my country
but i dont get it
like
my mom pays for a private health plan, and it's like 150 dollars a month.
why dont americans do something like this?

You are idiot or very underage.

I have already seen firsthand people surviving cancer with out healthcare. And they could go on with their lives without crushing debt.

When I went to high school I had like half my teeth fixed for free

thats cuz poolaks are too poor to have crushing debt

yeah Ive been to the "hospital here in this shithole too, they almost poisoned me to death.

guess u get what u pay for

Not everyone can afford 150 a month.
The whole insurance industry's main goal is to make money.
They will try to spend as little money on you as they can.
And pharmaceutical companies will jack up their prices to absurd prices because they're not regulated, and insurance will pay for it.

But government bad, regulation bad

>thats cuz poolaks are too poor to have crushing debt

Literally what the fuck are you talking about?

i believe our government subsidizes some generic medications to make them easily available for most people
but yeah, meds can get very expensive
my mom pays an extra 150 dollars on the meds alone

literally nothing

DP

Drug prices in America are stupid.
An epipen costs like $7 to make
They retail for hundreds because drug prices aren't regulated.

also this DP kike praising poolands "healthcare"over US, this corrupt shithole is perpetually stuck in obamacare with no other options, at least in the US you have other options.

>Be American
>Vote against your own interests
Like pottery

pooland is growing larger

pooland has BIG plans.

it will look real nice when complete.

Don't ever reply to me or my posts again, faggot

here an epipen costs 42 dollarydoos

. The beauty of the single payer system is that additional private insurances must offer much better service in order to stay in business. The government mandated healthcare sets the baseline standard of healthcare which may have rough edges but keeps people alive and reasonably healthy.

or wut?

Blame the flyover states.
They vote against their own interests.
Republicans have no policy that helps the everyday person.
All they care about is:
>own the libs epic style
>give corporations tax breaks, and cut social programs to pay for it

Stop making me jealous, I want to go to the hospital for a checkup reeee

i think they're also scared about the taxes

>How does Obamacare actually work
It basically works like car insurance.

You have to purchase a mandatory private insurance by law and might qualify for some subsidies which can't reject you any more because of your pre-existing conditions but for most formerly uninsured people this results in some form of minimal and still expensive disaster insurance.

>why Americans still don't have a single-payer system?
It is insanely profitable for a small circle of insurance companies and debt collection services to benefit from people's misery and how the American political system is set up makes it very dependent on monetary campaign donations from corporations who then can lobby to stall any kind of reform to the system.

dont believe his bullshit, the "healthcare" in this shithole is thirdword quality and malpractice and incompetence is rampant.

I know this old man who broke his arm and went to get it put back together,he gave the doctor 50zl (around 13 gringobucks to you) because he was poor and couldnt afford to give more, Doctor Zbigniev fucked it up and the poor old man couldnt bend his arm completely, he went back to Dr Zbigniev and the doc soad to him "you expected it to be a good job for 50zl?"
thats how shit things are here.

Do not come here to get any medical treatment. Theyre all fucking crooks, this entire shithole is a pseudo country of crooks and thieves. Oh and liars.

Taxes bad
Despite taxes being necessary for a functioning society.
If red, welfare sucking states think taxes are so bad give them 10 years where they only take taxes from their state, and not piggybacking off of costal cities.
Let's see how long it'll take for them to change their sentiments.

>I know this old man who broke his arm and went to get it put back together,he gave the doctor 50z
wait a second, you still pay the doctors?
what?

>If red, welfare sucking states
red welfare sucking states?
like
republican welfare states?
is that even a thing?

yep, if you dont pay bribe money, they treat you worse than an animal.

whats we got here is communist capitalism at this point.

>how will we pay for it
Fat tax
Dangerous lifestyle tax
Nigger tax

big pharma tax

>Blame the flyover states.

But you can create a singlepayer system statewide, can't you? IIRC Massachusetts has such system, courtesy of former governor Romney. The same Romney who later had to attack Obamacare to appease stupid Republican voters in presidential elections.

>wait a second, you still pay the doctors?
>what?

We don't. He's underage with little idea how system works or trolling.

Republican states have the most people on welfare per capita than blue states.
Yet they hate welfare and try to defund it, despite their people needing it the most.

>how will we pay for it
Using the money that people save from no longer having to spend hundreds a month on healthcare.
You could take a quarter of what people used to pay and cover it

I don't think you can make a statewide one
If we had a state with such a system you'd hear right wing media trying to shittalk it constantly.

most european countries dont have single payer health care. in almost every single country with universal healthcare, private insurers play a role in their system

T doctor zbigniev

i dont think you know what single payer means

he a dumb poolak, they dont know about a lot yet they pretend they do. typical slav(e) trait.

>Doctor Zbigniev fucked it up and the poor old man couldnt bend his arm completely, he went back to Dr Zbigniev and the doc soad to him "you expected it to be a good job for 50zl?"

Bullshit, no doctor would say that. All you need to have his license revoked is to >I don't think you can make a statewide one
>If we had a state with such a system you'd hear right wing media trying to shittalk it constantly.

I was misinformed then. Thanks for clarification.

Personally I currently have private insurance on top of the state mandated one. My insurance is top notch and costs me a little over 180 zł (about 60 bucks) per month. It covers almost everything aside from most expensive treatments such as cancer treatment. Like I said, the private insurer must offer service significantly better than what the state offers.

If I ever fall on hard times, I will resort to use the state healthcare. Shitty as it is, it keeps people alive and prevents them from falling into a debt trap once they need a prolonged treatment.

My friend fell ill with cancer when she was in her mid 20s. She was given state funded treatment that cured her, even though she sometimes had to wait long queues and at one time even had her chemo at hospital corridor due to lack of beds. But she would be dead now if not the state-funded healthcare because she would never be able to afford her treatment and had nowhere near the income prior to her cancer that would cover a private insurance.

yeah keep denying you little DP schill, tell your lies to some naive fuck, I've seen too with my own eyes much to have any other opinion.

its no wonder all these dp "doctors"and "nurses"go abroad and they tell them to fuck off back to pooland or give them toilet scrubbing duty instead of letting them fuck up the health of other people.
