We're number 1, we're number 1 in health care. Except factually, we aren't. As the president noted in his recent address to the nation, our status quo health care system did not function well. It was a mess, a disaster in mid-disintegration.
We have 30 million people who don't have health care insurance and who can't afford or have access to health care. The we're the best false claim also ignores and denies that unpleasant truth that our system delivers worse medical outcomes at a higher cost than other developed nations --- and we're declining in that regard, not improving, under the old status quo that Mitch McTurtleman talks about below.
In other words......Mitch and the rest of the right have got nuthin' (hmmmmm where have I heard THAT before?) They offer no valid solutions that reduce the increase of costs, increase of premiums, number of uninsured, the issues of denial of insurance for pre-existing conditions, or the inability of those under 26 to remain on a parent's insurance policy if they don't have their own coverage. Nope, that is ONLY an option for most people under Obamacare.
