I haven't watched ABC in 2-3 years. Now it looks like it's being run by teenagers. So my questions is"Like dude, why stop at Obamacare, repeal everything that has been passed since 2006. And you know like especially that lame duck stuff."

Interesting. Good postings.

On the longevity:
1) Ethnic minorities here(US) don’t live as long, not sure why – smoking, drugs alcohol, crime, genetics, habits, health insurance, some/all of the above?
2) We also have drug/gang wars, that pulls the number down.
3) I have heard that people who immigrate here from Europe have better longevity than if they had stayed in Europe.

Sharon:

You're breaking my heart.

Henry Ford did not make profits by selling low-quality, expensive cars. He got rich from selling inexpensive, high-quality cars. The same is true for hospitals and health insurance. When a company, clinic, or hospital gets a bad rep, it goes broke, gets better, or gets sued. They make profits from being efficient and effective. The competition is forced to keep up and they can learn by imitating what is successful.

Original Social Security and Medicare cost estimates were off by a factor of 10. CBO estimates Gov Healthcare will cost $1.6 trillion. If the past predicts the future, this will be $16 trillion. Comparing a million dollar CEO bonus to Gov Healthcare is like comparing $25 to a $640 million dollar lottery. Have a little perspective, please.

How old are you?
Does your age, or general health make a difference? (such as young, nonsmoker)

It varies, state by state. My state requires that insurance be available once you quit/lose your job. Some people make the mistake of dropping coverage and have to count on emergency room care.
I'm self-employed, 58 years old. My HMO is less than $200/month with $5000 deductible. Preventive Maintenance procedures are free: colonoscopy, blood tests etc. Seems darn cheap to me, upkeep for the car and the dog are more expensive.

Problems yes, but have a sense of proportion. Waiting time stretched into days and years.

The next Hollywood horror show could take place in Canada: Tales from the Waiting Line - EEEK !
It will only get worse when our system is burdened by government interference. Then the number Canadians who come to the US will diminish, further burdening the Canadian system. So sorry, I have liked every Canadian I ever met.
