Regarding the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare): All this did was pump more money into an already bloated system. The way to fix healthcare in the US (if it even can be fixed) is NOT pumping in more money. The cost of healthcare HAS to be reduced. Currently the US spends more per capita on healthcare, by a sizable margin, than any other industrialized nation.

At the same time, the ranking of the US healthcare system is the lowest.

Obviously, throwing more money at the US healthcare industry is NOT the answer. This is one of, if not THE largest redistribution of wealth from the have-nots to the haves in the US and all ACA did was make it even worse.
