Your wish for medical care not to be run as a business for profit...will be nearly impossible, The hospitals, insurance companies, and medical professionals (nurses, techs, doctors) all want to make good money for their services. Remember as a kid how the parents wanted their kids to grow up to be rich doctors? Do you feel they should arbitrarily take a cut in pay? Maybe they all have to give up their lake homes, vacation condos, and drive $hitty cars, so people can have cheaper health care??

"spending on health care per capita in the U.S. is greater than all other OECD countries"

I wish they would have left it as it was prior to Obammacare, as it was cheaper. In 2013, my wife and I were age 50 and our healthcare per month was $750 with a $5500 deductible, today it is $1100 a month with the same deductible. Fortunately my wife and I are healthy, non obese, never smoked, no illness, no prescriptions...We have been to the doctor for preventive measures such as wellness check ups, detection blood tests (PSA), colonoscopy, ETC. I feel we are the ideal customer for the insurance company, and we are paying $13,200 a year (plus our $5500 deductible = $18,200) - That is a lot of money!

Does anyone remember any insurance companies bad mouthing Obammacare back in 2012-2013?? Me either!!

I wonder if any insurance companies donated to Obamma's election coffer, as he was guaranteeing them customers...

I hope Trump repeals Obammacare and gets the hell out of the medical care business.
