[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have to bring the costs down. And this starts at the top. No more overpaid execs. No more lobbyists. No more crooked drug companies (ie: Mylan and Purdue.) Period. Only then can we have a serious conversation about this because that is why it’s so damn expensive.[/quote]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

This is exactly what Obama promised in 2008...and see what happened.

Now a number of Senators with similarly little/ zero experience are giving the same speech...guess what would happen in the real world.

My point: Why isn't there one single tried-and-true Governor among the top 10 Dem candidates for 2020? I could trust him/ her to lead a substantial health reform...but frankly none of the candidates we have now.

At the time, health care costs were supposedly so high because we had so many uninsured people. That wasn't untrue - BUT the rises in insurance costs that had been going on WELL BEFORE ACA suddenly got blamed on ACA and republicans refused to pass all of the measures that were part of it. 
And then, when we didn't have as high of uninsured costs, the healthcare industry gave those profits to executives and stock holders instead of lowering costs for everyone else.

Now we have pharmaceutical companies jumping in to the game by raising the cost to exorbitant levels.

People in the US are DYING because of epi pens and insulin.  The system is BROKEN.

This is why we need an overhaul of the whole dang system.
