You're openly admitting that the free market can't solve the health care crisis.

The Affordable Care Act, as I explained before, is basically a plan proposed by the conservative Heritage Foundation in the 90s as an alternative to the Clinton plan. The HF prompted it as more of a market based solution than the Clinton's plan. It removes "freeloaders" from the system, requiring that everyone participate in buying health insurance before they get sick.

The alternative is a public option. A plan that people can buy into without forcing health care companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. But when that was raised, the Republicans and the Tea Party had a **** fit. Don't blame the Democrats for the lack of a public option.

People have sued their insurance companies and won, but in the meantime, their illnesses progress. You don't seem to grasp this.

You are seriously misinformed about the cost controls in the Affordable Care Act, and about the Canadian Health Care system.

The cost of your ideas is death. That's why we have to take action. Because the status quo isn't working.
