It will eliminate Insurance Companies- force Big Pharma to lower their prices and cover all Americans hopefully everywhere they live. Healthcare is a human right!!! Holy sh******t.

I lived in Saigon in late 1965 and early 1966 and would relocate there in a nano second if need be. Sorry, I do not. Hanoi is much cooler than Saigon. But Saigon has cleaned itself up since I was there 17 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm married to a Thai who works for the US Government She's a civilian contractor for DoD. Now I'm not complaining the coverage we get through BCBS is great, but it's nothing better than any other civilian would get outside of the Federal system. It's not like Tricare or the like took care of me quite well when I had a heart attack 2 years ago and required quad-by-pass to live --- was hospitalized for 6 weeks -- three different hospitals and cardiac care units and ICUs plus ERs --- got excellent care and minimal out-of-pocket costs were mostly incidentals -- this includes all follow up care to this day and medicines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
