Well that's a good point even if it is a deflection, Motley. Health care for everyone is expensive, and putting it in the hands of insurance companies probably wasn't Obama's first choice. But he did what he could to expand access to medical care and it worked. It would have worked better if all the states had expanded Medicaid, but as you say, it would have been expensive.  But let's look at social costs - does anyone thing it will be cheaper to let people get sicker until they have to go to the emergency room?

Anyway, the point which you deflected from is that health care in the USA is going to be the worst in most of the world again, just to give some tax breaks to millionaires and mostly, billionaires. That's where your tax money is going for the next four to eight years, Motley.
