The whole health care system is going to hell in a handbasket!
Many changes this year for me and none of them are any good at all UNLESS you happen to be a member of the upper crust!
I'm sickened by the care people receive and the greed the goes with the care that is/is not received. I recently had an ER bill myself, $3,000.00 and I was given ONE pain pill and they put an IV in me for no damn reason at all but to DRAW BLOOD . Bastards, all of them. Greedy fucking bastards that have zero compassion for anything close to be human. Bunch of perverts on top of it IMO. again.

Personally, I think the ACA merely forestalled the collapse of the health care system.
