    It’s something like 90% of Americans avoid going to the doctor at all if they can help it, 5 months is a lot less time then never. Also demand drives supply, more patients means more need for clinics, imaging centers, hospitals, doctors, nurses, universities etc. universal healthcare could be a financial boon

      i have aca plan, and it barely covers surgeries, er visits(though managable just not chronically). with the changes to medicaid/snap curreently, i suspect the ACA will be attacked soon, much last year.

      unless you are on a employers dental/health plan, dental is not covered in anyway, if you try to buy a individual plan from a thier specific websites, they are more less the same in the coverage, barely anything outside of cleanings and xrays, not even cavities are covered entirely and they have a very low maximum yearly, mostly 1-2k.
