Warren, MI – Thousands of people are showing up for a rally in suburban Detroit where U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will speak in support of President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.

It is one of several rallies around the country by Democrats ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. Trump has promised a speedy repeal and replacement of the law that was one of Obama’s proudest achievements.
People were lined up four abreast for the length of 3 or 4 football fiends waiting to get in to the rally Sunday in a parking lot at Macomb Community College in Warren.
The law delivered health coverage to about 20 million people but is saddled with problems such as rapidly rising premiums and large co-payments.
Republicans in Congress have begun the process of repeal.
“The law delivered health coverage to about 20 million people but is saddled with problems such as rapidly rising premiums and large co-payments.”
175 million Americans saw a rise in costs to cover 20 million. Please tell me if that makes sense. Or how about small businesses having to pay more in health care costs thanks to the ACA. (all employees must be covered and it can’t cost more than 8% of salary)
And don’t fall for the Sanders nonsense that all developed countries over Universal health. Those universial health plans are garbage. Our health care is second to none. I would never fly anywhere else for health care. That’s leaving aside long lines. So how come our life expectancy is not much higher? Well lets assume a country’s life expectancy is totally health related (which its not). Most of the increased costs are for end of life comfort and / or an added few more months. Consumers want that added quality of life.
