U.S. health system is already predominantly taxpayer funded

[Old Codger]

3. True

The taxpayers are subsidizing the payments for insurance, the so called ACA (affordable care act) does not do one damn thing to cut health costs,all it accomplishes is to maintain the status quo while making sure there is a large ready made,forced clientele... It still costs a small fortune to get medical care, one visit to emergency still costs someone thousands of dollars in someones money... insurance rates may sound low and are more available to lower income people and do end up giving medical care to more people but it is still very very expensive if you end up hospitalized
