No, it doesn't. We have some of the worst health care access in the world. Presidents starting with Johnson and Nixon wanted good health care reform, as have most Presidents since. Our society suffers from our terrible health care access. We have some of the highest healthcare costs in the world across the board, as we are all paying for the high number of uninsured, and those that don't get health care until critical. I don't like seeing people get sick and die for lack of health care in this nation.



Who will be getting less for more? Your premiums will go down, too.
Compared to who? Please say Cuba! My premium just doubled!

Compared to most other first world countries. Go google: infant mortality, health care access, death rate, etc.

I hate to inform you, but it's doubtful your premium doubled due to the PPACA.

The #'s don't tell the whole story. Is China 1"st World now too? How is their Healthcare plan working out for the people? I'm not hearing of complaints by the Chinese people. Maybe we should adopt their system.

Well, that's completely generalized and non-specific. Okay.

We need the public option - everyone who wants to, gets to buy into Medicare. See how the private insurance companies like dealing with that competition.

Put this in the google search bar. Read it and weep: private insurance company rate hikes last decade
