The Democrats were in such a rush to push this through, that they themselves didn’t know what was in it. Nancy Pelosi said that they had to pass the bill to find out what was in it. The utter insanity of the Democratic Party was never laid so bare.
If the Republicans don’t repeal Obamacare, we will be speeding to the edge of the cliff even faster than we would have otherwise. We have many problems which need to be fixed. Obamacare is only one of them, but if we don’t repeal it very soon, it will be almost impossible to ever repeal it.
Hell is about to be unleashed. Fear and chaos will rule because of the incompetence of our government (all three branches).
The reason we have had the best health care system in the world is due to the flexibility (market wise) of health insurance companies, the providing of that coverage by employers of all sizes, and the automatic deduction of the premiums to pay for coverage.
If the 10% of companies no longer provide health insurance coverage, you will see chaos. There are not enough insurance salesmen in the world who can sell an affordable policy to the average American worker if he has to pay for it himself.
In the past I spent time selling individual major medical policies to small businesses and families. I found that health insurance premiums are way down the list of priorities if the people have to choose how to spend their money. They would rather spend money on pizza and beer than on health insurance because they think “it can’t happen to me.” Well, it can and does happen to all of us at one time or another...hence, really good insurance companies providing really good coverage automatically paid is what our system is all about.
It is the best system in the world, and Obamacare will destroy it. But don’t worry. Everyone will be on medicaid, our new single payor system.
