Forget health coverage and paying for it - the debate on healthcare is ridiculous without a serious discussion of why Americans need so many drugs and doctors visits in the first place.
I would like to see tax breaks for people who have streaks of no doctor's visits or drug usage for 2 years or more. And then leave the treatment for people who can't control what they have.
And yes I did search on Google for 10 minutes so I know everything there is to know about healthcare and why I'm right.
I'd like to see the Federal government the fuck out of health care. If you want your government involved , look to the state you are in. If their constitution allows because since Wilson and FDR our national one have been subverted, using a twist of words (and redefinition in perception) of what the fuck "General Welfare" means. It means help out in times of disaster, war and plague and not what welfare means ever since they started calling assistance and charity welfare.
International relations, killing foreigners, major highways, regulating trade, protecting the Bill of Rights and jumping in if there is an act of God or a plague and that is it. There is a good bit there any ways and to think it's better run from DC than in your state and in your county is a joke.

Most of the rise in health care costs over the last 30 or so years are as a result of federal and state governments (legislative, judicial, and executive agencies). Probably the biggest reason we have the highest per capita medical costs in the western world (and that was before Obamacare raised costs).

Let's examine that one:
Regulation is the reason medical costs are higher in the US than in all the first-world nations where healthcare is either socialized or even more highly regulated than in the US.

Their regulation is put in place with cost and benefit in mind. Ours is generally not. All regulation is not created equally.

That video is utter hyperbolic nonsense. Mandated benefits, reactions to major malpractice judgements, inefficient cost control in Medicare and Medicaid, IRS rules regarding business health care, and our coverage system for the medically indigent are the major drivers of health care costs-- all the results of regulation.
