Republicans know they can only make improvements to ObamaCare or Repeal it completely and never hold majorities in the house and senate for many years to come..
Republican Governor Kasich says not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.. He says people in his state of Ohio benefit from ObamaCare and the law only needs a few changes..
17.1 % of our GDP is spent on health care. the problem is a for profit healthcare system..there's far too many leeches in our medical system squeaking out their multi-million dollar compensation packages...
When you compare the GDP of single payer Nations those costs are single digit or just breaking double...why oh why would our cost be so out of line..it's the leeches of the for profit system...
-------------- History is no more than the lies agreed upon by the victors.
^^ why oh why won't they let the free market take care of the problem? To Buy insurance across state lines would solve a lot of problems but no, we have Nazis that buy their vote from the poor and the lazy in this country. Single payer in other countries, what, Norway, Sweden etc. whose populations pale in comparison to ours?
Mayo Clinic admits it gives priority to privately insured patients over Medicaid, Medicare
Mayo Clinic CEO John Noseworthy, who recently told Mayo employees that the Rochester, Minn.-based health system would give preference to patients with private insurance over Medicaid or Medicare coverage. Those public health programs generally don't reimburse health providers at as high a rate as private plans.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Mayo also likes the patients that have Medicare combined with a Supplemental Insurance Policy..
Greedy Bastards..
FYI Buying health insurance across state lines doesn't work unless all states are on the same page.. Then you might as well have a single payer system that costs less..
