Healthcare insurance from good companies was excellent. Didn't do much for other Americans.
I too disapprove of Obamacare. It's a fucking mess. But lets not pretend that decent healthcare insurance was affordable or available to the masses, or that costs weren't rising dramatically.
We have MassHealth in Massachusetts. It's working pretty well. Of course, it was passed when we had a prosperous economy, a stable population, many good companies providing insurance, and the Federal Government to pick up much of the bill.
