>>1491498>implying every other first-world country hasn't solved the healthcare problem decades agoWhen the british NHS and Canadian healthcare systems are riddled with problems like absurd wait times and an excess of waste "solved" isn't the word I'd use. You're expecting too much from the bureaucracy.
>It was already in the process of imploding.Also part of the criticism.
>Every market needs regulatory guidance.Go back to your grave Keynes and take your shitty economic theory with you. Regulations have the unintended consequence of serving as a barrier to entry in the market. No market should have the absurd ammount of regulations that we have. I'm serious when I say do yourself a favor and read up on administrative law. It's a nightmare to deal with. Regulatory guidence is slapped on as an afterthought and is often "arbitrary and capricious."
>That might have merit, but I've seen zero (0) politicians in the Republican party propose such an idea, and they've had a decade to devise one. I can only assume it is not forthcoming.This is because our politicians, both left and right, are spineless fucks who are only interested in their reelection.
>Repealing it with no alternative only serves to hurt the people the law did manage to benefit.The benefits were marginal and only occurs when the requirements to receive medicaid were laxed. There is an entire swath of the population that got forced into worse situations. The argument that keeping it only harms people is part of the reason our politicians are complacent jackasses. These are hard decisions that have to be made.
