America's much-maligned health care system is covering 9 out of 10 people, a fact that hasn't stopped the 2020 presidential candidates from refighting battles about how to provide coverage, from Bernie Sanders' call for replacing private insurance with a government plan to President Donald Trump's pledge to erase the Affordable Care Act and start over.
"We need to have a debate about coverage and cost, and we have seen less focus on cost than we have on coverage," said Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet. He is among the Democratic presidential candidates who favor building on the current system, not replacing it entirely, as does Sanders."The cost issue is a huge issue for the country and for families," Bennet said.
Sanders' office responds that the Vermont senator's"Medicare for All" plan would solve both the coverage and cost problems for individual Americans. Medical care would be provided with no deductibles or copays. No one would be uninsured or underinsured. Four other 2020 Democrats are co-sponsors of Sanders' bill: Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California, and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Heart bypass in France = $20,000. Heart bypass in U.S. = $80,000 - $120,000. Same outcome.
80 million under or uninsured yes it is that bad in the Trenches! ⚖️ Cannabis the vegetable JimCrow said is dangerous prevents cancer and disease but we have to eat it!
Here comes the mainstream media to tell people that our healthcare system is fine by misusing statistics and not delving into actual nuance despite crying for nuance. Tens of millions of Americans don’t have health insurance and tens of millions more have subpar health insurance
if 90% are covered that still leaves over 30 million people without healthcare, it's not like it's a poll of Democrats favoring Medicare for all. The system we have has some serious problems, one reason outcomes are worse is that it's a more stressful system. More expensive too
You steal from the poor to give to those who are illegal and those who are to lazy to work.
The main thing Donald Trump has shown us in 2 1/2 yrs is..... Politicians on both sides have screwed things up. He (a businessman as President) has accomplished more in 2 yrs than all the career politicians in DC have accomplished, combined! Remember that on election day.
Deductibles were raised to help promote more efficient picking up doctors and procedures but all it has done is create chaos and bankruptcy amongst many people bring back lower deductibles.
Before Obamacare, 80% of Americans were covered, premiums and deductibles were far lower, and the government hadn't ruled that it had a right to tax people for choosing NOT to purchase a private product. That's a scary precedent.
In 2015 tRump told 60 Minutes that his health plan would provide universal health coverage paid by the government. “I am going to take care of everybody”, tRump said. My question is where is it? GOP has had over two years to 'replace' with Trumpcare!
Yeah just 33 million or so with no coverage. Nbd

No one can beat a free market. Every time another system is tried, it fails.

Seriously I don't understand why the media doesn't tell the real story! Democrats have bankrupt America! Nobody can save it👀 it happened In the past ten year's!
The real story is America is bankrupt👀 2028 1 trillion per year in interest alone👀 157 trillion in unfunded liabilities👀 we have 747 billion dollar deficit as of June 2019 Gov. Is spending 1 trillion more each year than it gets! That leaves zero for anything👀

Deductible so high on mine, it’s akin to not having insurance at all! Going to doc , much less hospital is too expensive and can bankrupt you!
