Anyhow, quotes express an opinion, not fact. Studies are done to find the facts.
The first link explains how NAFTA caused a bunch of carbon to be released into the atmosphere. So you believe in climate change?
The second link is propaganda.

So being able to buy stuff super cheap is a huge burden on our country? I keep hearing about the sky falling with China and it never does. It's a communist country. Maybe we can stop trade and start a cold war with China - because the one with the USSR was so great. Meanwhile I get to buy a $50 oscilloscope to troubleshoot my dsm.
And big brother picking winners and losers? It was Bush who began bailing out banks after the crash. Obama continued the path of keynesian economics. Bush started it Obama got blamed and it didn't even fail.

In that "free market system" there would be competition which always drives cost down and quality up. But now that Obamacare is in place, none of that matters anymore.

The cost was the highest in the world before Obamacare and rising faster than inflation. Other countries make it work.
The data in this story doesn't support your claim about long wait times. What data do you have about the rest of your claim?

If your points are as patently true as you seem to believe they are, there should be facts to show it, right?
