¿Apoya la Ley de Protección al Paciente y Cuidado de la Salud Asequible (Obamacare)?

no law should exist

No se nada del tema

No se que ley es esta

No conozco esa ley

No, mantener el sistema de sanidad privada para los que se lo puedan permitir y asistir a los necesitados con programas Medicare y Medicaid.

La salud debe ser universal y gratuita

Yo creo que la sanidad tendría que ser gratis.

No, se deberia crear un apoyar una salud gratuita para todos, bajando el gasto en otros sectores.

Deberia Aplicarse un sistema como el FONASA de Chile

No estoy muy informado sobre ello

Abriendo el mercado

No, pero debería empezar a implantarse la sanidad pública.

No comprendo bien el tema.

¿Considera que su salud y bienestar personal están suficientemente protegidos con el sistema sanitario actual?

Si pudieras diseñar un sistema sanitario desde cero, ¿cuál sería la primera característica que incluirías?

¿Ha notado alguna diferencia en la calidad del servicio de atención médica según la cobertura del seguro? ¿Cuáles fueron?

¿Cómo encaja la noción de "salud como derecho humano" en su visión de las normas sanitarias?

¿Cuáles imagina que son los desafíos del seguro médico para los adultos jóvenes que salen de la cobertura de sus padres?

¿Por qué cree que la atención sanitaria es a menudo un tema que divide a personas de diferentes orígenes?

¿Puedes compartir una historia en la que la cobertura de atención médica (o la falta de ella) haya marcado una diferencia significativa en la vida de alguien?

¿Cómo cree que los costos de atención médica impactan las finanzas y la vida cotidiana de una familia?

¿Cuál es un cambio que propondría al sistema de salud basándose en sus propias experiencias?

¿Cómo se sentiría acerca del acceso a la atención médica si usted o un miembro de su familia tuvieran una condición preexistente?

We got screwed, we should have had a single payer system. Our pharmaceuticals are off the charts, and should not cost us as much as they do, and our health care cost are the same, the whole system needs to be revamped, and it's part and parcel of big business running things.

No, require pharmaceutical companies to repay product development tax subsidies (R&D expense deductions) or reduce the cost of the drug to a government set level.

Yes, but they need to help to make the cost much lower... For example my coverage gets an $8 discount and is $250 a month with that discount. I am in the lower class scale an i can no longer afford to have insurance, which is the first time in 6yrs. I have to have insurance due to sever athsma an can no longer get my meds or see my doctor now since they increased prices on plans due to the A. C. A changes

No. I know many more people who lost coverage they had (and could afford) than were able to get affordable insurance. But getting rid of Obamacare now would bad because all the companies that used to cover their employees (that don't now) wouldn't cover their employees again. This cause even more people to lose coverage.

Healthcare should be afforded to all without high costs premiums or copays. The affordability of healthcare in the US is outrageous, all employers should provide free healthcare to their employees and insurance companies shouldn't be allowed to change so much to companies. There should be caps put on insurance companies and pharmaceuticals should be sold at decent costs, considering medicaid can be made for pennies.

I do not understand it enough to make a judgement. Everyone should be able to have health insurance. But not everybody can afford it. Not everyone qualifies for Medicare. From what I have experienced over the years with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, there are too many flaws that should be corrected. I have been abused by the system. At ag3 73, I have been fighting the system since 1988. Is that fair?

Yes and proudly, now that we have it we need to tweak it and make it better. This has been one of the greatest acts in the history of our country and I respect President Obama and Nancy Pelosi and the Congress that voted it in.

There should be a better system for health care for those who can not afford it. But it should not interfere with the medical business, other people's private insurance, and definitely should not be run by the government who cannot even keep control over its own finances. Government should create incentives to private companies to develop affordable health care programs by giving tax breaks.

Regardless, US citizens wouldn't be so dependent on insurance companies if healthcare/medical products in general weren't so absurdly over-priced.

I believe the health care system is in need of reform, but the Affordable Care Act puts the insurance business and the federal beurocracy in front of the patient/doctor relationship. There must be something done regarding coverage for pre existing conditions, and an affordable policy for the poor, but the current plan is neither affordable nor efficient.

I believe some competition should remain in existence. While I don't agree with ALL aspects of the Act, I do believe that insurance reform is not enough. There must be some type of negotiation with medical equipment providers, pharmaceutical companies, and hospital corporations to reduce costs on that end.

they need to regulate the medical charges so they are not so high. and all people should be able to have insurance no matter how much money they have poor need health care also. use taxes to pay for it. It should be a flat rate per person per house hold and insurance companys should not be able to say you can't have a medicine or procedure that a doctor has ordered.

Health Care Availability is essential to the successful conduct of Business and Commerce in each state and every other-legal sub division of the country. The Affordable Care Act is the first step in providing Health Care Availability at Reasonable costs. this will improve productivity and increase our competiveness and reduce costs.

Medicare for all with the option to purchase supplemental private coverage for those well off enough to afford it. At 3% administrative overhead under Medicare versus as much as 20% or more administrative overhead under private insurers and given medical care consumes approximately 17% of GDP the savings would translate into access to basic care presently unavailable to many and improved care for those gainfully employed.

look its a fkn joke also we can have health care for all .and heres how you fund it. 3 to 5%sales tax on all heath and beauty products from toothpaste to tampons, perfumes all of it do the math and you will see that it works out in 3 to 5 years every thing is paid for we are to vane to stink and not look good..
and no more tax breaks for any corp or company flat tax of 10%

The medical profession should be controled to prevent the system that now exists from createing a disaster. Now the Doctors receive kickbaks from drug manufacturers and hospitals for providing business. The insurance policies are exploited by the patients with chronic illness and used to provide a haven from the world without real need being exhibited (Hypochondriacs fill our hospital beds.

Make it single payer state level, revenue from a sales tax, no insurance companies, no one else should be involved in a person's health choices, all charges from providers should be public and posted, everyone charged the same price for the same procedure at the same institution, all medical services and drugs should be non-profit, medical supply/devices for profit in order for competition. Obscene to profit on illness, it makes management of conditions the most profitable and cures the least profitable. STOP KILLING US SLOWLY so investors make the most money off of bankrupting the people.

No, open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and drive down costs; The government should not be involved in the medical business save for light regulations as prescribed by the Constitution; thus it is a state issue based upon the 10th Amendment

Although I initially thought it was a great idea, it is turning into a nightmare for uninsured individuals. It is more expensive than promised, you can't keep your doctor as promised. Needs a massive amount of study and changes before it will be viable and give our citizens what they were promised.

I would like to see the free market regulate the outlandish cost of medical care. Why does a MRI cost me $1500 in the US, other countries can do it for $90. And I don't need a team of doctors to read the thing for me. Make health care more affordable, no real reason it should cost as much as it does.

No... because the people who designed it have no clue about how to run anything... TORT reform, capping payouts for malpractice, asking the top CEOS of the Pharmecutical companies, the hospitals, the insurance companies to come up with a plan that they think would be most beneficial to resolve this challenge; NotNnancy Self Aggrandizer Pelosi and her cohorts who have ruined the state of California and are about to ruin the whole country as well...

Yes, I support it. it is an important step in the right direction. The United States, hopefully sooner than later, needs to invest in a true national healthcare system. One that encourages innovation with a focus on quality of care, rather than motivation based on dollars. We fight so hard for the rights on the unborn, yet fail to see the value of providing free comprehensive healthcare for ourselves.

Obamacare is not the solution. We need to stop hospitals and physicians from over treating and overcharging patients. These huge nonprofit entities are literally raking in millions. A simple blood test should not cost $450. Patients should know up front what the costs will be before testing is done. Drug manufacturers should not be allowed to make minor changes to a drug delivery system and roll it out as a new drug. We need to simplify medicine rather than continue to grow government intervention. Insurance companies should not be allowed to deny claims on superficial differences in interpretation. Physicians should not be paid on production. This encourages them to order additional testing, increase visits, etc.

Medical costs should be controlled - not by putting the cost on the individual. So long as the product, medical care, can be as costly as the hospital wants it to be, with no one questioning it, the individual will continue to pay more and more. It is a insult to me to say health care is affordable. It is not.

Once again, hell to the no. I can't even begin to explain how terrible of an idea the "Affordable Care act is." It's NOT affordable, Obama doesn't care, and it's all an act.

We need better regulations of the insurance industry. We need INSURANCE reform, not "healthcare reform." We need to allow the self employed and small businesses to have access to the same rates and level of care covered by insurance as corporations, big business and government employees.
