Should the Healthcare Reform Law Be Repealed?

The healthcare bill (Obamacare) that passed was not helath reform at all. WHat a sham. They did not address cost drivers, i.e., why a semi private room cost 5 or 6k a day, a roll of TP $5 a day even when not used , ehy you get six different bills for one visit to the emergency room, from th hospital, dr, anastesia, etc etc.... They never for a minute addressed the issue of what is driving the cost of healthcare through the roof for EVERYBODY. Not just the insured. This was nothing more than a misguided attempt to force everybody to buy health insurance, even if they can afford to be self unsured, under the premise that somehow it will control costs. It wont. If you dont go to the root of the cause, the cost drivers, then this plan will not work. Healthcare is provided up front with no discussion about casts because somebody else is always paying the bill. If you had to pay out of your pocket, you would shop around for the best quality and lowest cost. Thts only part of the problem. Lawyers are the biggest part. they drive up the cost of everything in this world.
