Article linked here. Excerpt: Health Care in America, despite this last election, remains a Key Issue. Regardless of the fact that the Electoral College named Trump victor, he lost the popular vote significantly. He does not have any substantial mandate to change ObamaCare. Before its institution, fully 16% of Americans had no HealthCare insurance whatsoever, because - based as it is upon private-insurance - it was too damn expensive per person. America's health-care system is no guaranty whatsoever as regards "longevity". Not only are American HC-costs aberrantly high (twice the cost per person as Europe's National Health Care systems), but life-span is three years less. Consider this study by the OECD that shows how an expensive Healthcare System is NOT giving Americans their "bang-for-the-enormous-buck" spent: Health At A Glance - Key Findings. {Moreover, here is the pertinent OECD infographic's URL, since this site will not allow any personal links: https://www.flickr.com/photos/68758107@N00/14464162998/ Which is probably a good idea but crimps the ability to show pertinent information.} Given the recent election results, who cares evidently? Certainly not the voters. The Replicants now feel they have a mandate to tear down the only semblance of a national health-care system that we have ever had in the US. In fact, of major countries, the US is the only one without a National HealthCare System. Expect even more destruction to happen. This new administration have only begun to undo everything Obama did - he was fighting every foot of the way with his adversaries in Congress to build national services that respond to the needs of most Americans thus bettering their lives. And not just a select percentage who feed off the DoD budget that will expand - whilst our children still don't get the degree credentials for a decently good job. One half of all American high-school students will NOT obtain a post-secondary degree that will allow them the competencies necessary to obtain a decent-job at decent-pay in this Brave New World of the 21st century! (From Dept. of Education statistics.) Wow, have we ever shot ourselves in both feet last November 8th ... !
