Fine ... So lets talk about Health care ...

The first thing people need to understand ... Obamacare is Health INSURANCE ... Our Actual Health care system is comprised of Private companies.

Having said that, I believe that we should have a system based on Medicare for all. It should cover the following ....

1. Major Medical - Also known as catastrophic health care
2. Preventative Medical care - And Everyone needs to get a yearly checkup to qualify.
3. Existing Conditions ... And we are not talking about depression or other non-life threatening events.
4. Pharmaceuticals

This will cover 75% of medical care ... The rest will be covered by gap insurance, which companies in this country would be more than happy about.

We do have to fund it, which would be a 2% tax ... On both the people and companies part.

Obamacare will be gone because it is totally underfunded ... That is why United Health Care and Aetna have pulled out of most of the Country. UHC lost 650 Million dollars in the first two years of Obamacare.

We also need to understand that Medicare has an overhead rate of about 4% while most private companies have an overhead rate of over 20%
