The news organization that once was the home of Edward Murrow, Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather is now where you can see a hack interview a grifter. Billionaires ruin everything.

By "lower cost products" he means plans that don't accept people with preexisting conditions and kick you out if you get sick. Like in the good old times (before the ACA).

What's your alternative? Back to the days when tens of millions were unable to get any insurance at all?
No, it's not perfect. It was also sabotaged under the first Trump administration (e.g. by no longer enforcing the individual mandate). The Reps clearly have no interest in solving its issues.

The problem is that Republicans aren't interested in improving or replacing it. They just want to repeal it and return to the good old days, where insurance companies could deny or drop unprofitable folks (i.e. ones that actually require care).

Ten years ago he promised "I alone can fix it".
He has now spent almost 5 years in office.
Nothing has been fixed. Much has gotten way worse.

Yeah, consolidation is completely unheard of in "free markets". 🙄

Again I have to ask what problem is what he proposes supposed to solve?
Also, actually around 7% of Americans have ACA coverage, and it's rapidly rising.

I'm wondering: how is it possible that both the moon and earth can produce "ring of fire" eclipses for each other, given the size disparity? 🤔

"the American people don't want government-run health care"
Personally I can't wait until I can get away from all the BS the insurance companies are pulling (pre-authorizations, denials, restricted networks, complexity, "dead pools" etc.) and sign up for traditional Medicare.

Let me guess: you have some gold-plated plan and concierge doctors? Most of us already live in the world you describe (PCP referrals required, top providers "out of network" etc.), healthcare premiums and cost-sharing are exploding, all while the health insurance companies rake in record profits.
