It is indeed. I see that about 9 million people have gotten cover so far and your Democratic party is talking about Obamacare being a net positive for them.
However, I still think you will run up against the problem that the US gives patent monopoly holders way too much bargaining power. The reason US medical costs are so high are not down to insurance vs. single payer as such but that patent holders are allowed to charge different people different prices for the same drug. "Death panels" like the UK's NICE are not essential (I know you guys have no problem with paying more) but they are very useful.
You see when a president has more morals, he does what most Americans want, and those who didn't want it, are very mad at that president. Ive done allot of studying on the presidents of america in high school. All of them aren't perfect.
True enough. There seems to be a lot of people horrified at the idea of health as an affordable service. Its as if having paid way too much for way too many years, they now feel that admitting they were ripped off would make them look like fools.
