You can thank Reagan for the "free" healthcare that people get at emergency rooms.

Universal healthcare is the way to address the issue. ACA is a bandaid, albeit a better one than what existed before it, but its a hybrid. We could and should expand coverage under Medicare by 1.) lowering the participation age
and 2.) Allowing the government to negotiate w pharmaceuticals on pricing of drugs like every other government and the VA does.

Well said, it's the simple truth. But Americans always swallow the Corporate propaganda. That's why we have Profit Health Care, Profit Schools, Even Profit Prisons, and Profit toll roads.
The rest of the "civilized world" has single payer public health care, at much less cost. But, as Winston Churchill once said:
"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."

Unfortunately, our Congress is not inclined to "do the right thing". Because they are owned by their corporate contributors.
