Am I just a genius or completely out of my mind? The Government can't get health care right for a very small group of our citizens (our veterans through the VA health system) but it wants us to believe that it will seamlessly make a standard health care system for everyone?!
The question I propose is this... Do you foresee "Obama care" being just as ate up as the VA has always been and continues to be? Do you think that they will be just as bad as it is now? Lets leave political views out of it as much as possible. Bring up intelligent discussion and lets debate this. What good do you see in Obama Care? What hick-ups do you see in it? What are your thoughts in general?

I wouldn't be looking at the VA as much as I'd be looking at pretty much every other first world country on earth. I've spent a lot of time in Canada, and they basically laugh at us. They're very happy with their healthcare system.

SSG Siebenaller,
A single payer system would curb long term health care cost(IMO). Fixing long term healthcare is a huge part of fixing the deficit/debt.

MAJ Dews,

They also don't give themselves heart disease with garbage they funnel into their stomach with food stamps.

We're a totally different beast, socially and culturally on eating and health.

Canadian health care is leaps and bounds beyond what we have in place here in the US. Yes Canada pays huge taxes to support it, but when you have a heart attack if your poor your not sent to the other hospital, your sent to the closest hospital.
Canada does not cover elective surgery, that surgery deemed not medically necessary and that's why come Canadians come here to get those elective surgeries.
Canada is not perfect with healthcare but they are much better than here.
The cost of health care such as what Canada has is very high but again its available to everyone from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich without additional costs.

I think the idea behind the Health Care Act is good, everyone should have access to health care. The execution leaves a lot to be desired. I think that perhaps implementing it in small phases instead of the current "All in and take away/push it back" method would have been a better call. Let the folks that don't have health care sign up and start there then progressively bring in businesses and then people that already have health care. Its my belief that the whole thing just wasn't completely thought out and there was no trouble shooting guide in place. Government was not ready for the aftermath of the implementation.

What is male pattern baldness?

Male pattern baldness is a common hair loss condition in men, synonymous to female pattern hair loss that occur in women. It affects around 50 percent of men over the age of 40 and can lead to a low self esteem. The condition is caused by a gradual decrease in hair follicles, which makes hair fall out. The cause can be genetics, environmental factors such as stress or pollution, or scalp problems like dandruff or seborrhea. There is no single cure for pattern balding in men, but treatments include medications, hair restoration surgery, and hair replacement products. This article contains all facts you need to know about the condition, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Click here https://bethforhealth.com/what-is-male-pattern-baldness/

I've also heard the argument of getting rid of the VA all together. Veterans would get a "veteran card" and use it at there local health care facilities.
