Sounds great. Has nothing to do with how Obamacare works though.
So where do you think all our money in the U.S. is going, that we spent way more and can't get anything close to that? What's going on there? Do you think if we give that entity way more money that will sort itself out? Why do we need to spend 100X what Europe does to get worse services? (I'm only estimating that it would take 100x more spending to get the Euro-level of services, considering what we spend now, and what we get). Doesn't it seem like THAT is the problem to address? I know why the U.S. government doesn't care about that problem, but I'm not sure why voters don't.
