So, instead of doing what’s right we’re going to cower in FEAR?
Bankrupting folks dumped on the exchanges by their companies is not “the right thing do”. It’s also political suicide.
But then the virtue signalling conservatives in the Kamikaze Caucus and their dupes have proven they have no interest in governing.
Bankrupting? Really?
As if all these people were bankrupt BEFORE those subsidies existed?
As if the cost of insurances hadn’t been driven through the roof by government in the few years prior to the inception of O’Care so as to create an artificial impetus to institute those subsidies?
Frankly, the answer isn’t just to undo O’Care; it’s to roll the entire healthcare insurance marketplace back to about 2009, destroy barriers to all insurers offering plans nationwide, perhaps outlaw the practice of employers who offer healthcare insurance as a company-paid benefit limiting their employees’ choices to just a few plans from 2 or 3 companies with the stroke of the HR Director’s pen...get government out of the picture to the most extreme extent possible, prevent employers from limiting employee choices in the matter, and relax the regulatory throttle on the national marketplace.
If the ONLY thing the GOP did was to kill O’Care...I’d agree with you. That’s a formula for political disaster. But I don’t see killing O’Care as happening as a solo event in a vacuum of other salient measures being taken.
