There Is No "Fix" For Obamacare: We Need Medicare For All

Americans are waking up to the fact that there is no "fix" for Obamacare because, in the end, every legislative plan that is based on paying tens of billions of dollars directly to insurance corporations in the form of subsidies is not "helping" the people of the USA. 

The taxpayer basically picks up the bill for everyone's end-of-life care, after the corporations drive 600,000 people a year into medical bankruptcy. Look at the statistics: 4/5 people in nursing homes are charity cases, paid for by Medicaid after they no longer have any money for "health care insurance." 

Canada and the UK are not "socialist" countries, but they do have national health care systems in place that negotiate the prices of prescription drugs and medical procedures, instead of putting their citizens at the mercy of greed-motivated corporations every time they become sick or injured. 

We will not become a "socialist" nation by organizing and implementing a single-payer health care system in the USA -- 130 million Americans already benefit from some form of federal medical program:Medicare, Medicaid or Healthy Children. We simply need to expand who can sign up for Medicare and be finished with these blood-sucking health insurance corporations.

Medicare has 9% administrative costs. The insurance industry spends a minimum of 20% of everyone's premium on administrative costs. Before "Obamacare" this administration fee often topped 40%. Now there is a formula in place that requires the insurance corporations to pay out at least 80% of the premium cost to health care providers, or else share a portion of the excessive admin costs back to their customers in the form of small refund checks. 

These companies do not add anything to the quality of our health care. They only take away money that should be paid out to actual medical providers. Their money goes to $100 million a year CEO's, political campaign donations / aka bribery, and of course massive TV, magazine, internet and radio advertising. 

What a waste of our "health care" dollars! This is a big reason why Americans pay 50% higher health care costs compared to other top-40 nations on everything from prescription drugs to hospital stays. The fact that the federal government directly pays subsidies to big pharma corporations is not helping the people of the USA -- in fact there is a lot of harm being done. We are a very over-medicated country. 

And everything in this country that involves any form of "health care" is all wrapped up in paperwork, aimed at denying claims to boost investment profits, and aimed at cancelling non-profitable policies so the federal government programs will step in and pay for costly end-of-life care for all of us, except the billionaires.

The major TV networks count on this massive advertising. But the people, powered by the Internet are spreading the word and people all across the USA are warming up to the idea introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders: Improving and expanding Medicare for everyone.
