No one is going to repeal the filibuster though. The party in the majority at the time may hate it but they know that one day they will be in the minority again and would like to have the option of a filibuster.

When you need medical care you won't go to a hospital?
There something wrong here. If these people are making so close to the poverty levels, they should be eligible for Medicaid. It seems Medicaid recipients are being forced into the private market, therefore squeezing their incomes unnecessarily. Not to take a hardcore liberal position, but I would bet a good amount of change, that these forced private market people are from republican leaning states.Rarebird77

It's wealthy people who are saying they are paying more is all.
Most everyone else either is insured through their job or is so poor they get a subsidy.
I need to know who's writing these articles to figure out the bias.
Why wouldn't I go to the hospital when I need care? The assumption that everyone is going to be a deadbeat and not pay their medical bills is not something I subscribe to.
And it also is still not a legit comparison to auto insurance.

Yet here we are. Were the hospitals shutting down, emergency room closures, and etc just a coincidence?
I just meant feasibility. As far as the political will--I mean it took us 40 years to get Obamacare--I don't know when we will have the will for a universal healthcare system. At best, I think we get a Democratic Congress that tweaks Obamacare.
That is because if you get sick enough you will go to the ER and be subsidized by taxpayers. By your very existence as an American citizen you are a healthcare cost. How that cost is distributed is up for debate.

Needs to happens. America can't have parliamentary, ideologically polarized parties, and not have a more majoritarian based political process. Or else we'll be stuck in a constant cycle of Ted Cruz style government shutdowns and governing paralysis.

Remember though, criticizing or predicting it's drawbacks is racist .....
I just had a person studying to be in the medical industry tell me it's to expensive and they are considering voting for Trump. None of it was prompted they literally had rushed to pay it before penalties kicked in and we're upset.
I don't know what people expected. It was a corporate handout. Removing the ability to not buy gives companies free reign to raise prices at will knowing that people will HAVE to buy their insurance or face fines. And no, it won't get repealed because it is a huge corporate handout, so even though the Republicans are supposedly against it, some how, some way, it will never get removed. Enjoy your political show.

Can’t move with me in this digital space
but that's too protect other people. My health only affects me. But then if I get sick and go to the emergency room everyone has to pay cause I didn't have insurance? So then this current plan is less of a pain when it comes to taxpayers? I mean it's better for the country as whole? Do these insurance companies act in the best interest of the country? Isn't all of this kind of like communism? Sorry if these are dumb questions I genuinely don't know.
To be such a self proclaimed intellectual, you really are a simpleton...how the hell does state regulated auto insurance which you can choose not to have by virtue of not driving equate to the federal government mandating citizens to purchase a private product?
