The US is the only modern industrialized country in the West without universal healthcare for its citizens. The insidious for-profit US health insurance industry will continue to enrich oligarchs, while treating medical patients like customers and rubes. In six states, Medicare will start a pilot program using the same AI algorithms to determine whether a patient deserves to be treated or not, in essence a "death panel." The GOP is adamant in dismantling the ACA (Obamacare) and you can see how much more consumers will pay next year for health insurance and other necessary expenses here: Budget Analyzer.

Trump's ugly budget bill is "the biggest rollback in federal support for health coverage ever" according to Larry Levitt, executive VPN for health policy with the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation.
The cost increases are all part of the plan by republicans so they could give their billionaire donors huge tax cuts.

#3: And college graduates entering the future workforce (Class of 2029) will be thoroughly screwed. Tuition and fees at some colleges are surpassing $100,000 a year. The average "Gen Zer" is carrying $23,000 in student debt. The GOP is superb at feudalizing poor Americans with mortgages, school debts, and exorbitant medical bills-- all while removing health and safety regulations: Class of '29 screwed

Thanks Republican voters! Had you been around in historical France or Russia, those people would still be burdened with greedy selfish fat-cat monarchies.

While decrying big pharma and the insurance companies for years, Democrats have actually always been in thrall to them. Now they don't even try to hide it.

#5 You should see a doctor about that knee-jeek deflection to Democrats.

"Stupid Democrats wanting universal healthcare like the world-class medical treatment the Israelis get without bills or medical bankruptcies, thanks to the hardworking American taxpayer! Stupid liberals!"

Who told you the Democrats want universal healthcare? They won't do anything without big pharma or insurance company approval.

Democrats can't save you, Visitor_.

They're not in charge of any of the three branches of Federal government.

Do you have anything to say regarding health insurance costs and Republicans, or am I invading your Safe Space by asking that question.

Here are the Republicans and oligarchs with platinum healthcare plans and no medical bill problems to the rest of us Americans:
