Помощница конгрессмена Билла Фостера приложила много усилий, продвигая Обамакер:
I spent two years defending Obamacare. I had constituents scream at me, spit at me and call me names that I can’t put in print. The congressman was not re-elected in 2010 mainly because of the anti-Obamacare anger. When the congressman was not re-elected, I also (along with the rest of our staff) lost my job. I was upset that because of the health care issue, I didn’t have a job anymore but still defended Obamacare because it would make health care available to everyone at, what I assumed, would be an affordable price.
Её усилия увенчались успехом:
Three years ago, it was $225 a month with a $2,500 deductible. Each year it went up a little to, as of Sept. 1, $291 with a $3,500 deductible. Then, a few weeks ago, she got a letter.
“Blue Cross,” she said, “stated my current coverage would expire on Dec. 31, and here are my options: I can have a plan with similar benefits for $647.12 [or] I can have a plan with similar [but higher] pricing for $322.32 but with a $6,500 deductible.”
Она по прежнему верит в мечту, вот только как-нибудь бы избавиться от проклятой арифметики:
“I am a Democrat and I believe in health care for all,” she said.
“And I was excited that previously uninsured people could now get insurance on the open market. But this is not affordable to me.”

В коммонвелсевской медицине есть определенные достоинства, но проблем дофига. Как лично для меня - старая штатовская система много лучше.

начнем с того что канаде вся медицина - частная

Пишите развернутый коммент с вашими возражениями и можно будет предметно обсудить.
Пока что вы утверждаете что я плохо помню или не знаю, абсолютно ничего говоря по существу дела. Ведь ваше утверждение - что медицина в канаде хорошая, правильно? Ну так давайте факты.

я сказал - частная

Из-за этого начинаются всякие гадости - вроде стояния по полгода и больше в очереди на операцию или сложную процеруду (и из-за чего канадцы любят ездить в штаты на операции), поход к специалисту - по направлению GP и т.п. В общем выбор - любой цвет as long as it is black.
