The previous administration’s major healthcare achievement, the Affordable Care Act, was an attempt to use more government regulation and intervention to improve American healthcare. As we all know, the results were disastrous, with skyrocketing costs and disappearing choices.

Now, rather than reckon with the failures of the ACA, the same suspects are now proposing to repeat them—by imposing these failed ideas on all of American healthcare. I’m referring to the various proposals to create “Medicare for All.”

The promise of "Medicare for All" is that all should get the quality care like seniors receive today. But the reality would be no one gets that quality—not working Americans who lose their employer insurance and not seniors whose program would now be altered beyond recognition.

The cost of "Medicare for All" would be staggering. By one recent estimate this system would cost taxpayers $32 trillion over a 10-year period. Today, 28% of federal spending is on healthcare. Under "Medicare for All," 58% of our federal budget would be devoted to healthcare.

One of the best things about American healthcare is that we believe if you don’t like your plan, you don’t have to keep it. If you don’t like your doctor, you don’t have to keep them, either! Medicare for All is the opposite—if you don’t like your plan, there’s no way to leave.

There is a better way to do healthcare. It involves sending power back to the American people—to states, to local communities, to your doctor, and to you, as American patients. It involves building on the successes we’ve seen when patients have choice.

Highly misleading. Prices are dropping because Insurance Companies are taking away the good benefits. You are covered for the flu-shots, that´s it, now pay us 500 a year. Simple as that.

Thanks to the demise of the individual mandate, health insurance costs for my current plans (top-level medical PPO, dental, and vision) as ATT retiree in 2019 will decrease from $463 monthly to $129. Thank you, Republicans!

number 1 the AVA always been great more people been buying it all Trump did was tried to sabotage it but he failed numerous of times. The old saying goes like this is you can't beat employees job join employees, so Trump just can't help but to join Obamacare.

The choices are junk plans that don’t offer real coverage, have lifetime caps, and kick off people when they become sick or injured. Look for the rates of medical bankruptcy to rise again. Voting blue in November to keep our healthcare.

“Supposedly trying to sabotage the ACA” Really? Trump outright ran on getting rid of the ACA, tried his best with Congress to kill it, and actually STILL rails against a dead Senator for giving the thumbs down on that attempt to kill the ACA. You are flat out lying.

it's almost as if not having Congress trying to gut the program makes things more stable for insurance companies. WEIRD
