It was never intended to work. And my corporation just notified us today of huge upcoming health insurance increases. I’m interested to hear how they’ll spin it in our benefit meeting - especially since our CEO is a big Zer0 lover (but aren’t most of them).
Well, our new Speaker is supposed to be an expert on this so let’s see what he does. Cough!
It may be dead, but, by the Lord Harry, I’m still paying for it via my inflated health insurance rates.
They’ve doubled since this Obama Frankenstein was brought to life
It may be dead, but it is still there causing untold destruction to our economy and to our citizens. Trump will kill it in a quick few days. Confusion with the corrupt insurance companies will be the norm for a while until the insurance companies realize that they will get crushed by Trump. The rest of the candidates will take years to kill Obamacare. Sudden death or slow kill, which would be better?
All you need to know is that we’re much, MUCH closer to Single Payer Commie Care, which was the plan all along.
*SPIT*
Regardless of whether there is a President Cruz or a President Rubio... How presumptuous!-)
“Right now, the Republicans and the Democrats are two political coroners arguing over what time and cause of death to put on the paperwork; rigor mortis set in long ago.”
THAT is a great line, and it can easily be applied to ANYTHING this Worst Congress Ever deems to touch. Grrrr!
Nice to see Kevin take a day off from bashing Trump.
There is an opportunity for the Speaker to make good on some of the promises and insinuations he's made over the past few years, starting with Obamacare.
One of the reasons Boehner was horrible as Speaker was that he couldn't articulate a conservative principle, and how conservative ideas would work better than liberal ones when it came to healthcare.
Here is Ryan's chance. Let's see if he's up for it. He's already laid some groundwork with his, "not blaming, wiping slates clean" speech. Follow that up with the declaration that the ACA is not working for America, and that he's not looking to blame, but to correct the situation.
My insurance went up $1000 for annual deductible and increased $1000 max out of pocket. It now costs me $12,000 a year for the right to pay an additional $7500 a year before I see any real benefit.
“Here is Ryan’s chance.”
Yep, it will be a crystal ball into the future.
They broke the healthcare insurance market to create more vagaries in a bureacracy that was created to redistribute wealth.
Intentionally, it leads to “single payer”. Commies win again. There are traitors in our midst...they are our “leaders”.
OC doesn’t work for the same reason a racetrack would not stay in business if the races were run, completed, and then track rats could place their bets.
(There’s a reason pre-OC insurers didn’t cover “pre-existing conditions”.)
And 47% can bet using an IOU.
Everything Obama does distills down to fitful chaos. If we think it’s bad now, just wait. The transition to explosive chaos is about to go full throttle.
Well at least you have mandatory maternity coverage, just in case you decide to acquire ovaries and a uterus and get pregnant.
I call social democrats on their moronic use of the term “single payer”. There isn’t a single payer system in the world outside of Cuba, North Korea, and a few other totalitarian states whose idea of medical innovation is experimenting on political prisoners.
“Single payer” Canada has a public/private expenditure split of 70/30, and “single payer” UK is 83/17. “Single payer” China is 55/45. Meanwhile, the “radical free market” US is 47/53.
Even in a “single payer” system, affluent people pay out of pocket for a higher grade of care. “Single Payer” systems simply codify and emphasize the distinction is quality of care and outcomes in the two tiers of their respective health systems.
Obamacare is doing exactly what it was designed to do:
Punish America for not endorsing single payer and then ensure that single payer is the only available solution.
