Insurance companies and drug companies control the healthcare in this nation - not patients and their doctors - we have the most expensive healthcare of every first world nation as a percentage of our GDP, and we have the least obtainable healthcare system of any first world nation. Insurance companies dictate doctors treatment plans for most conditions, not the doctors.

Every AAA rated first world country - other than ours - has nationalized healthcare.

That's not "right" or "left", it's simply a fact.

And if you want to remain on your Social Security disability, I strongly suggest you stop self-immolating, by supporting the party that labels you are a freeloader and wants to kick you off SSDI and end the program, and you start supporting the people who think you deserve SSDI and want the program to remain in place for you. I am completely amazed that you have spent two years on this board actively supporting the politicians that want to end your SSDI and leave you to fend for yourself with nothing.
Can't wait until the government controls healthcare instead of the "insurance companies and drug companies". That will be SO much better...

Who's issuing this AAA rating you speak of? Does "NICE" of UK get that great rating too, even though cancer deaths there are much higher than ours, and the waiting list for certain treatments is in years? Other than organ transplants, we don't tend to have that here. Or I should say we didn't have that here.

ObamaCare will rightfully be an albatross around the neck of those who supported it and the political party who rammed it down the throats of the people for a long time to come.

And if you think socialized medicine will do anything but SUCK, you're nuts.
