The number of Americans struggling to pay medical bills fell last year for the first time in nearly a decade -- the latest sign that Obamacare is making health care more affordable.Sixty-four million people, or approximately 35 percent of the U.S. population, said they had trouble paying bills or were stuck paying off medical debt in the past year, according to a new survey by the Commonwealth Fund released on Thursday. That was down from 75 million people, or 41 percent of the population, in 2012. This marks the first time that figure has fallen since 2005, when Commonwealth started keeping track.
Obviously, because I'm the one paying for them.

*eyeroll*Thanks guys.
Forcing others to take care of you is not progress, it actually just hurts everyone. Nearly everyone could afford it if the government didn't make it so expensive in the first place.
Okay. You see that progress?Whoosh.It'll be gone when the next president is elected.

More people on insurance = less out of pocket costsWho would've thought?

Fucking. Shit.What if we did the same thing with cars? Even houses? This could revolutionize the way we protect our investments!
Why do I have to have health insurance if I never get sick?
It's fun watching liberals lose.
Fewer Americans are having difficulty paying medical bills
