Healthcare in America is littered with confusing rules and unclear systems. The discussion is oft centered on misconstrued facts and downright lies. Some politicians claim that nobody ever died from lack of access, that the Affordable Care Act is unnecessary and American healthcare isn’t cost-prohibitive. Some claim no one has lost Medicare or Medicaid coverage and pre-existing conditions don’t threaten coverage.
