The key is for government to stay out of the business and to encourage competition, as well as to permit HMOs to function across state lines.
In the meantime, good controls on abuse of Medicaid, restricting it to those who truly can't afford healthcare and keeping hospitals "honest" where needed vs unneeded diagnostics and treatment vs billing are concerned, we could easily reach a point where everyone can obtain care without going broke in the process.
However, when gov't becomes too involved, all bets are off.

A pittance, while corporations and the wealthy got windfall tax cuts. Assuming some mega corporations pay any taxes at all.
Significantly less tragedy would have occurred had we kept that money as r********ns for those whom they held hostage at our embassy for 444 days, which was what should have been done.
Once again, the corporate tax cuts were not "for the rich." The people behind the businesses still had to pay their taxes. The cuts simply left more capital in the hands of the corporations, who used it to expand and that created millions of jobs.
The pitiful thing about your ilk is that in your zeal to punish "the rich," and your hatred for the very capitalism that made America the richest country in history, you are perfectly willing to see entire families starve and lose their homes due to lack of jobs, as "collateral damage" from your sick, twisted political dogmas, as long as you perceive your side as "winning."
If you want to win all the time, you need to become a Trump supporter.
If you want to stay a Democrat and hang out with t*****rs, terrorism supporters and p*******es, best of luck.

Don't be naive; the corporations used it to buy back their stock.

Oh, and all those new jobs simply created themselves as the companies and small businesses grew magically, for no apparent reason. Give me a break...
Do yourself a favor -- throw away your tired bumper stickers, already, and start embracing reality.
You know, cause and effect, that kind of thing. It will make you look a lot more informed and a lot less foolish. 😎

And yet everything he does turns out okay, and that just rankles you lefties to no end because the "smartest man in the world" nearly destroyed this country in a mere eight years. We don't need the smartest people in Government. We need people who put America first and do what is best for us.

Wrong.
You do what any totally brainwashed, propagandized, party line zombie does -- you ignore obvious cause and effect, facts and reality in general and simply recite by rote the phrases you learned from those on the left who tell you what to think.
Reminds me of something someone I knew years ago who was a flight engineer for an airline who spoke fluent Russian once told me, back in the late 1970s when the USSR still existed.
He was in London, and saw a Russian tour group being led around by a Russian, and he overheard the tour guide saying, "The reason there are no long lines in front of any of these stores is because in the west they produce an inferior product."
That's the same level of propaganda your ilk repeats over and over, no facts, proof or evidence need apply. Unlike in the former Soviet Union, here in America, because of the First Amendment, real information, the t***h, complete with statistical data, is readily available.
Only a propaganda zombie such as you, who no longer has the ability to think for himself, would go through life with the party line tunnel vision you exhibit. You would probably walk around in a tropical downpour without an umbrella or raincoat if your left wing thought masters told you it was a sunny day.
Pitiful, really pitiful...

Oh, and just so you understand... "Apologist" is not an applicable term, since I see nothing to apologize for where President Trump is concerned -- as an American, I am proud that he is my president, and I support everything he has done since the day he took office.
If anyone has anything to apologize for, it's you, the Anti-America troll, for your defense of the cabal of t*****rs that front today's Democratic Party, for your defense of corrupt politicians like Obama, Hillary and that sorry lot and for your cluelessness regarding what America is all about.

However, your ilk and left wing, anti-America hatred are synonymous.
Trump is great for America, therefore you h**e him.
Obama was bad for America, therefore you worshiped him in every way, shape and form, probably had an altar dedicated to him in your basement.
😮 -- "Face the facts!"
