If we had a universal coverage system employers would be able to save money on employees too by reducing the burden employers make on contributions to insurance plans, allowing for higher wages and better competitive environment to produce stuff. Only reason why NAFTA has only benefited mostly just Canadian workers while being a wage zapper for Mexico and US workers is that they have social medicine. They're able to compete better.  Instead we have oligarchs such as oligopoly pharmacy companies like Johnson and Johnson, Procter and Gamble, Glaxo-Smith-Klein, interestingly enough they're names of the founders who have dynastic families who do relatively nothing but sit back on their grandparents or great grandparents business and collect dividends.  Basically the trade of is that we have dynasties that are a less economically and politically powerful for better cheaper and higher quality medical system.  Sucks though these plutocrats control us with their peon upper 10% toadies such as lobby groups various lawyers and paid off politicians.  And the average American unfortunately is completely clueless how the financial system such as stocks bonds, taxes, etc. are actually conducted. Our educational system also needs a serious overhaul including primary and higher education.  We're becoming a bunch of bum fuck nincompoops.  ACA was a Republic right wing oligarch plan to keep insurance companies relevant and to eliminate doing away with unnecessary medical patents only necessary for the apple carts of dynastic oligarchs pharmaceutical families rolling in the dough, and biotech companies spending relatively small amounts with already government funded pre-researched medical technology to bring to the market.  We can do so much better. - We need a universal medical coverage option. - We need to redo our primary education as well as our worker education to allocation method, and better our method of higher education as higher education prices our out costing the actually return in wages. - And we need to restructure our economy from one that is highly dependent on global tyrannical despotic countries who use their despotism to exploit impoverished laborers, for a more domestic economy. Our current global economic structure is very similar to mercantilism where we have a few large players using 3rd world despotic countries as old mercantilism used colonies and a few very large players backed by their usually aristocratic republics or mostly hereditary rulers. We ought to be only trading for items we cannot get anywhere else, and being choosy from which we get those particular items, never seeking one particular country as a sole source. Such trade dependency creates possibilities of becoming more hostile toward one country or another should one country decide to either charge tariffs, diminish or quit buying or selling as much, or raise various rates of goods or services.  And the pressure competing with despotic nations is that our own nation falls in equilibrium to the same despotic system in all aspects of society: economic, legislature, judicial, and executive.   Currently our country is mostly filling up with extremely wealthy oligarchs who have paid for both political parties, who appoint politicians who therefore appoint judiciary of their choosing, lobby legislation to make laws conform to their interests at the complete disinterest of the common laborer or entry entrepreneur,  and fund executive offices for governors and the President to promote their interests that our in complete counter to everyone else's interest.   Currently without such changes we will continue to see wages and purchasing power drop. Peoples' education become worse suited for anything practical. And limit ability for public protest. People will be too ignorant on how to protest and if they do protest, what to protest and what solutions would work. The standards of living will fall to that of the 3rd world countries currently being exploited. We're already seeing this all over the US, and in many places in Europe. Russia is an extreme case we can observe their oligarchy suck their people dry, and their ignorant under-educated people haven't a clue how to resolve their problems so they chose some backwards party such as Putin.  We must resolve to make the changes. Otherwise we'll be living in a 3rd world shit hole.
