Blog stage 7

Texas Policy released an article about our health. Insurance failures expose Obamacare fatal flaw states that when Washington expands healthcare bureaucracy people will get less care, not more. Insurances like UnitedHealth, Humana, Anthem Blue Cross have quite selling ObamaCare because selling it is a "money-loser".

Carries like Aetna, UnitedHealth, and Humana have lost millions and billions of dollars selling it. The Aetna CEO said that ObamaCare has put health insurance into a "death spiral." Now we have less carries willing to sell health insurance, and it gives monopoly power. Patients will struggle with finding a doctor who will care for them, or have to wait a long time to even see a family physician.

And things get worse. Instead of fixing the problem and it not being expensive, they are now talking about tweaking our president's odious legacy. GOP leaders think that by passing new regulations they will fix the problem. This is another way of them showing that they continue doing the same thing, work on something that doesn't necessary work.

  1. In one of my classmates article, they discuss the contentious topic of healthcare. I had a few questions/issues that were raised while reading this commentary. The post seemed a little out of date due to the discussion of Obamacare and also unrelated to the Texas government or healthcare system, which local and state government was to be of topic. The article stressed the fact that Obamacare had some "fatal flaws" which have been discussed over a few years now. The thing that is not provided here is any input or fact that Obamacare has been one of the only functioning federal universal healthcare system in America. Furthermore, now that the new president has been in the process of dismantling since coming into office, it no longer has much solidarity or importance in the healthcare discussion. Now America and politicians must focus on the healthcare system that is going to be implemented, which seems to take away coverage for the insured and far more flawed.
