End the Republican Stalemate on Health care. Form a Congressional Bi Partisan Congressional Comm...
After 8 years of stalemate since the creation of the Affordable Care Act, it is time to withdraw the current Republican bill and to create a bipartisan committee from both the Senate and the House of Representatives for the purpose of upgrading the Affordable Care Act. All approaches to resolve this problem should be fully investigated, including a Single Payer option. In addition, the current Affordable Care Act should be fully protected by Congress until an upgrade is agreed upon, passed, and signed into law by the president.
Why is this important?
Since its passage in 2010, the Affordable Care Act has been rendered stagnant by serious problems caused by a combination of a stalemate in Congress and by the greed of both the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industries. The most recent failure of the Republican Party to pass a bill that would have endangered millions of Americans, throwing many out of plans and seriously endangering those who are poor, elderly, and with pre-existing conditions, and by a president who has called for intentionally destroying the Affordable Care Act that would cripple this country's health care system by leaving it in a dangerous limbo.
The only way for this to be resolved is to create a bipartisan committee of both the Senate and House of Representatives to seriously consider all alternatives to upgrading the Affordable Care Act. This would include the Single Payer System.
Until such a plan can be agreed upon and put into law, Congress should pass a bill protecting the Affordable Care Act by allowing subsidies to continue and for the present system to be fully implemented.
