Earlier this year, the Obama administration boasted that well over 11 million people had signed up for an ObamaCare plan by the end of the second open enrollment period.

All of this...step by step....simply leads us onto some giant step into Medicare being the one and only system left in the US by 2020. Maybe it was accidental or intentional....but I don’t see how we avoid it now.
I don’t pretend to know the in’s and out’s of the medical field, but can’t we just go back to doing things in the pre-0bamaCare days? Given the overwhelming dissatisfaction with the (yes, UN-Constitutional) ACA, most everyone would support it anyway it seems.
But then again since when does the will of the people count for anything?
The problem is, America is no longer at full employment.
Both parties are busy shipping American jobs overseas.
Americans need health care. If they don’t get it at work, because their job has been sent overseas, where will they?
The answer is, America badly needs to bring jobs back to America.
In my opinion, anyway.
I would not be surprised if the pool of applicants signing up for Obamacare are sicker in general then the 2014 pool because those who intended to take the penalty and not sign up in 2015 would most likely apply if they did get chronically sick in the intervening period which would escalate premium rates for the pool even further.
Are you talking about healthcare or insurance? Insurance they can get in the private market. Or, if they are poor or old, instead of insurance they can get government coverage through Medicaid or Medicare.
There never was a need for government provided insurance “exchanges” as all. If we want to provide insurance subsidies for the working and middle class (a bad idea), we can do that through the tax code.
Absolutely.
We need to manufacture and produce here in a big way again. We need to make clothes here again. Why is it that some companies still do it here, employ people, and still make money?
It would help tremendously to get the illegals out and curtail, if not temporarily eliminate, the higher-level visa that Bill Gates’ advocates. There are jobs but Americans are not ‘eligible’ for them.
I agree as regards the part of America most Freepers reside in.
There is a part of America where they both need jobs and the ambition to work.
as always you are wrong
We are certainly on opposing ends of opinion.
I will grant you that much.
Thanks for your feedback.
Regulations and taxes send jobs overseas. Until that changes, we’re not going to get the jobs back here.
Bingo! Drip by drip, the only people who consider health insurance worth the price of the exorbitant premiums are the chronically sick. As premiums skyrocket, healthy people drop out of the pool. Death spiral 101. All part of the plan which will lead us to single payer.
It’s successful in that it has evolved into a gimmedat program which is large enough to put the Republicans in mortal quaking fear of trying to repeal it.
You ramble on confused and wrong. You’ve been schooled over and over again here how economics works, how government regulation and taxation are the source of the problem, yet you still won’t get it.
It’s almost as if you’re a... wait for it... troll!
