I'm against the Unaffordable Care Act because it will destroy the best health care system in the world, America's. You really think everyone is going to get great care now? Conservatives are fighting to save our health care. Liberals think they are, but look at all of world history. Healthcare sucks in most countries that have single payer. That's why many come here for treatment paying out of pocket. Wait times can be up to years for procedures. And if they see that you're over life expectancy, they determine that certain procedures aren't approved (knee replacement, for example). In America, you can get a knee replacement almost immediately.
Where does this confidence in government come from? The private sector does everything better and more efficiently than government yet we think the government is somehow going to make healthcare more affordable and better? How is it possible to believe that?
If it wasn't true, wouldn't the USPS be making billions and UPS losing billions per year? Well, the opposite is true. Public vs Private.
The best healthcare in the world? Have you seen the world rankings for the healthiest people. We are way down the list. Apparently the 'best health care system in the world' doesn't translate into actual healthiness.
Conservatives are fighting to save the status quo, where healthcare is priced farther and farther out of reach for Americans. When Americans head overseas

to get hip replacements because the cost is prohibitive here, you can see major problems in our system. The costs associated with our healthcare system are bankrupting this country. Politicians, particularly Conservatives, want to keep that system the way it is. It keeps the insurance, pharmaceutical, medical and hospital industries loading up Washington DC with campaign money.
But for everyday Americans? It doesn't do so much.
