Summary: The Affordable Healthcare Act, with its 10 Essential Health Benefits is what universal/single-payer healthcare in all other industrialized nations looks like and its working just fine. Perhaps the ACA aka Obama-care could be made to work as well as it does in Europe and Canada, but we all know its being sabotaged by forces loyal to the insurance industry. In every universal healthcare delivery model we studied, the cost for services and prescription drugs were lower and the outcomes are better. That's just a fact. So the question to be answered is, how much longer can so called moderate Democrats get away with telling their constituents universal/single-payer healthcare is not possible, viable or practical?
