Is the healthcare system in our country broken?
Of course it is. I don't think anyone questions that.
Is the Affordable (?) Care Act a step toward fixing it?
No.
ADDENDUM #2
Spoilered so as not to offend the easily offended.....
I believe the entire private-for-profit health care "system," is broken and flawed beyond repair & that only a single-payer, socialized system can reign in the exponential growth in heath care costs - - but there's no political will (yet) for this.
Still, if the option is to do nothing, or the Affordable Care Act . . .
I'll take something.
healthcare blah. sick of it. going to get my blood drawn again for the third time this week. 45 bucks a pop. love the kitties. stealing for sure. :meow:
