There are different views and different experiences when it comes to health care, like most everything else that matters. And there always will be.
I think Obama’s Affordable Care Act moved the country forward and know it resulted in millions of people having access to full health coverage for the first time.
That includes a large number of citizens in rural areas who didn’t realize they had ‘Obamacare’ until they were told it was under threat of being taken away.
Citizens and voters across the country made it clear at town halls and in the last mid term elections that even with its flaws, they did not want it taken away when the new Trump administration and Republican lawmakers attempted to repeal it without having anything better with which to replace it (after swearing to do so for years).
But, there’s still a long ways to go in terms of having every citizen covered and getting the price of prescription drugs to a reasonable level. I’m open minded to any proposals to get there, including Bernie’s Medicare for All.
And, keep your weed, by all means. I was joking about the pain killers. Hopefully, everyone in every state will have legal access to weed as a medicinal alternative/preference very soon. It’s long past due, in my opinion.
