There is no R plan because the vast majority are fine with their healthcare

Employer sponsored healthcare works great for most people so if you have a job you are generally covered

Bring back catastrophic insurance plans for people who are generally well that is what ACA screwed up. [b] I was fine as a single person in my 20s paying 50 bucks a month for catastrophic.[/b]  Those plans are gone and instead you have to pay 300+ a month (unsubsidied) with a deductible 5 to 10k+ that is similar to most catastrophic plans.

There are also temporary insurance plans for when you are between jobs

For people who are truly destitute there is medicaid

This.

Most people were actually better before ACA.

What Obamacare really did was to screw a hundred million people in order to offer some deficient insurance to twenty million.[/quote]
says someone who never got cancer and reached their lifetime max.

You were fine in your 20s because you were healthy. As you get older, you get more illnesses.

I'm 50 and have had private insurance for 20 years.  We have pre-existing conditions now in the family.   Sure I was healthy in my 20s and didn't really need insurance. Now.. I have children and we are getting older and have health issues.

You won't stay young and healthy forever. That is a guarantee.[/quote]

You are right, I've never had cancer.

But several in my family did. And do you know what they did, even if they were insured?

They went back to be treated in our country of origin. There, they got better treatment than here and at lower costs -- even when paying it all out-of-pocket.

Which goes back to thw fundamental problem in the US: the crazy costs.

Until we fix that, the rest is just about stealing money from some folks in order to subsidize some other folks.[/quote]
