Nearest dumpster? Campfire?
Oh, I don’t know....how about doing the American thing and have a Free Market?
Take it out back, tie it to a post and shoot it....
With ObamaCare Collapsing, What Do We Do Next?
Collapse it faster...!
Remember Trump.
Repeal, and REPLACE Obamacare.
Obamacare was successful, because the GOP had done nothing, for the entire last generation.
Lots of Americans need to have guaranteed care. Existing conditions, things like that.
Protect them. While replacing what it wrong.
Signed, your loyal voter. :D
What to do next? How about move to North Korea? Kim Fat ‘Un will take care of you.
Obamacare would have become HilLIARyCare under Clinton- and it would have essentially been government health care.
Here’s a novel idea - if you want something, pay for it.
Repeal it now effective 12 months out. Congress has 12 months to figure out replacement
Abolish Obamacare on January 20th and and make all the deadbeat slackers on Obamacare repay all their past health insurance subsidies.
Mainly...get ready for the onslaught of blame, from the democrats, that will be placed on Donald Trump and the Republicans for Obamacare’s failure.
I hope that the new administration includes “loser pays” and other SUBSTANTIAL legal reforms This would help reduce medical costs by removing one of the “defensive medicine” incentives for doctors ordering unnecessary tests.
The crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected as federal lawmakers and then making unconstitutional tax laws to rob people’s money is much better than robbing banks for a living.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Why would they want to sell it to me? And why would I want to buy it from them?
Require hospitals and clinics to post their prices for all treatments, medications and services. The disparity in pricing can be astonishing.
Already available online. If people won't be bothered to look for it now, why should we think they'll look for it in the future.
Reveal each year what Medicare recipients–hospitals, clinics, practitioners–receive in payments from the Medicare program. Such information would be hugely useful in ferreting out fraud, as suspicious patterns and practices would be quickly apparent.
If the government isn't using this information to combat fraud already then why should we believe they'll suddenly start?
(I shouldn’t have to buy policies with pregnancy services.)
By that token I shouldn't have to buy policies that cover prostate cancer. But bringing coverage down to such a level of where it could be tailored so specifically would be impossible for the insurance companies. They won't do it.
Repeal Obamacare, period. Forget this "replace" nonsense. The longer Obamacare goes on the less likely Congress will be to repeal it. They'll try to replace it, and will wind up with something as expensive or more, and which will make the situation worse.
It helps that it’s collapsing, hyper-expensive, and terrible coverage.
That makes it easier to repeal and replace.
The new program needs 4 elements.
1. Full repeal of the old Obamacare with its thousands of pages of socialist death panels, doctor guns reporting, etc.
2. A new law that permits purchase of health insurance across state lines.
3. A new provision for a pre-existing condition pool, and a new provision for a impoverished American CATASTROPHIC plan.
4. Doctors running cash medical care patients exempt from lawsuit by those same patients.
That’s it.
That will provide great American health care for everyone.
Kill it with fire. Big mistake to believe you have to salvage or replace ANY of it.
Any move towards a "national health insurance market" model would be in explicit violation of the U.S. Constitution. It's not just a formality, either ... there is a well-documented Supreme Court ruling that says an insurance policy is a contract, not "interstate commerce," and is therefore covered under state contract laws.
This is why all areas of insurance are regulated at the state level -- as it should be under the 10th Amendment. There's no reason why an insurance company in Wisconsin can't sell an insurance policy to a New Jersey customer, but it will have to meet all of New Jersey's regulatory requirements.
Whatever the Republicans in Congress decide to do with ObamaCare, I'll have a very dim view of them if they try to shove an unconstitutional change in front of us.
I have a suggestion. It is in fact a government option. If you want private insurance — buy it ( across state lines)
If you have pre existing , or no money, you elect government option. Similar to the Veterans Administration with salaried Doctors and bulk purchasing of medical supplies and drugs, in provided adequate facilities, If You are on the option, You pay a percent of your net disposable income but never less than $30 copay. that system should be adaquately funded so that no one falls through any crack. If you don’t want a customer # and a two hour wait for a government doctor, work hard to provide your own private plan. 50 employee rule still applies but the employer can buy private or take the public option.( If the employee doesn’t like the insurance, seek other employment that has what you want.
What happens here is freedom and choice. Great new health care system — as good as you can buy or at least the fall back to a safety of something. Otherwise just go to the ER.
