ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year

I’ve never understood why America doesn’t have a decent health care system. And then America voted for Trump, and everyone appears shocked at what he has done…

There is something very wrong with American attitudes.

America does have a decent healthcare system for the vast majority of its citizens (people with full time jobs and their dependents, plus the elderly).

That's a large reason why there is no major change in this area, even though one is sorely needed.

Personally, I'd just open Medicare up to anyone who wants it by paying some additional fee each month and see how that goes, but that's too simple for most politicians I think.

It's kind of amazing that majoritarian democracy is as good as it is at addressing problems experienced by small minorities. It is pretty bad, but it could be much worse.
