Many Say High Deductibles Make Their Health Law Insurance All but Useless

27. It is true

Yes it is poorly worded, but it is a variation of what Bernie is talking about. The vast majority of our major trading partners have some variation of universal access/care. Furthermore, most (nearly all) of our major "first world" trading partners pay easily 1/3rd of what we pay for health care. Yes, many countries actually have "insurance" companies. They are HIGHLY regulated and in favor of the individual. And the costs that are paid are well within the "affordable" range because of the underlying "social safety net" that those countries have. Our systems sucks and the ACA was a minor improvement on the system. Mostly it just federalized the regulation of the health insurance industry. Currently it has accomplished little except to increase the number of insured by about 5 - 7%. The point of this article is some fraction of that is insured but basically still not getting health CARE.
