I wanted to write this on facebook, but frankly there are just too damned many Pro-Trump sentiments going on and I have to get these thoughts down...
So the Republicans want to repeal the ACA. I dread the fallout of what that is going to be. On the other hand when ever I refer to the Single PAyer systems in use in Canada and Great Britain people trash that, yet it seems to work just fine for the folks who live there in those countries. What if there were a Single Payer system in the U.S.?
The way I see it, it should be much different in regards of how it gets paid for. RIght now, for many of us who get health insurance through our employer, why couldn't the employer pay into that system (much like insurance) and what we have taken out of our paycheck could still go toward our healthcare system as well? A 'Healthcare' tax as it were, but it get's deducted from our pay, lowering our Net Income (as it does now)? I mean, when you consider how many people work and what not it makes sense.
Could it really be that simple? I don't know... I wish we had representation in government that would attampt to try and find out.
