    Healthcare should be affordable, as in a single-payer system. But I also think people need to stop eating processed foods and such too.

    Jane, ordinary people CAN pay for their health care without financial ruin accordng to the mandated ceilings of the ACA.

    If you think $6,000 is out of scope for middle class families, then I wonder how much you DO think they should have to pay. Also, the Prez determined a percentage of our incme that is reasonable to pay for health insurance. Do you disagree with that percentage and the Prez?

    I disagree with having insurance companies dictate health care and health care costs. This differentiates me from the President. I believe in a single payer system paid for with tax monies.

    ETA: $6000 is more money than I have run up in my entire lifetime of medical visits. So yes, I think that is a wildly inflated yearly cost.

    IL: I don't care if they had any $ to leave to their estate. What happened is the wife is still alive with Alzheimer's and I had to find her a place to live that only costs 1850/month that is not a rat infested shit hole. Which meant I had to put her an hour away from me. No one else is willing to drive that far so we are the only visitors she has. If we could have put her in town her life would be better. If she had some of that $ to last at least 6 months then once it is gone Medicaid would have picked up the difference. But you can't go into a home on it here. Her DH was a veteran of Vietnam-injured severely and in hospital for a year. Agent orange caused his rare cancer. If he would have won he would have had $ for her but he lost. Now he is dead and the military automatically appeals it and get this even if she dies they will keep appealing until the appeals run out. The only ones that can receive the $ are kids under 18. HIs kids are in their 40's. What a waste of money that can't be stopped because I asked. I also had a copy of all his records since he was disabled by the military although he worked until about 9 months before he died although he was 66. Once he lost his ability to talk and hear he couldn't work. WEll supposedly the military has all sorts of benefits for surviving spouses but none that they qualified for. If they had the home that was paid for I would have sold it for 400k and she would be in a nice place. I tell everyone I know don't pay your medical bills if you can't afford it because here you can Homestead your home up to a certain amount and that $ is protected. By doing the right thing they had few choices. But the taxpayer didn't get stuck with a dime because of them. That gives me a warm and cozy feeling-not!!!

    Which federal agency would you see enforcing the processed foods and such prohibition?

    The 28th Mechanized Infantry Division could be federalized. I'd like to see the campaign ribbon for Pringles interdiction.
