    As long as someone else is paying instead of the person receiving the benefit the costs will rise. We can only end that by having every individual pay for themselves. That is the only way costs will come in line with an individual's ability to pay.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    No.

    Amend the Constitution if you want, but don't ignore it.
    In many ways the constitution is out dated. I'm not saying to throw out the constitution, but clinging to dated language and dated mindsets in the modern era is no way to govern.

    That's why you prepare before the fact. Or go without. Your choice. No one owes you healthcare except yourself and your parents (if you're underaged).

    What parts, specifically, do you believe are outdated?

    I am against obamacare its failed and its screwed alot of people 6.5 million couldnt afford to buy insurance and paid the fine instead last year. Obamacare was always unworkable.

    7 yrs they voted time again to repeal and replace because they knew there were safe it wouild never happen. Now when it can both sides wont compromise so you have nothing.

    Right because insurance companies and politicians who are literally working to protect them and make them richer will just magically come to an end if everybody just pays their bill.

    The free market works every time if you don't $#@! it up with regulations and subsidies.

    It really isn't outdated. It certainly is not in defining the legitimate role of government.
