    Problem isn't just 22m uninsured. It's the vision of a system where average insurance has a $6000 deductible & bad chronic illness coverage.

        they also haven't articulated any actual believable vision of what they believe health care, and health, should look like.

        Because they don't have a viable plan it's about tax cuts only. Not about better healthcare

        Most working people and the poor would never be able to afford a $6,000 deductible, next add the premiums to it.

        What is actually covered if McConnellCare doesn't cover "primary" care or "chronic" care? Haircuts?

        ACA & AHCA aren't the issue. H/C delivery hasn't changed in 50 yrs. Systemic change of delivery to reduce costs is vital. #HealthcareBill

        Lots of other countries can do it for half the cost with similar outcomes. New ideas are great but we know how to make stuff cheaper

        What we spend on end-of-life care is mind blowing. I witnessed that with my mom (RIP).

        Sorry for your loss. My fiancée works as an ICU nurse, she also sees so much money spent for worse outcomes. Extra care isn't always better
