ObamaCare’s last hope: Terrified Senate Republicans
Canada Free Press ^ | 11/14/16 | Dan Calabrese

Kicks of mules

ObamaCare is in big trouble. With the election of a Republican president and the survival of Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, ObamaCare should be history.

But ObamaCare is not dead yet. The effort to repeal and replace it is going to face some serious obstacles - some of which are policy-related, like the problem of how you deal with people with pre-existing conditions, or of how you transition people who have signed up for subsidized policies. The left wants you to think that repealing ObamaCare means ripping people’s health care away from them. The trick is to find a way not to do that, and it won’t be easy.

Yes, Ninety percent were perfectly happy with their healthcare insurance before Obamacare. It was the people with preexisting conditions who were complaining the loudest. As typical with welfare leaches, they wanted someone else to pay for their healthcare.

Now, Ninety percent HATE their healthcare insurance. Obama has completely flipped the peoples perception of healthcare in the USA.

The way to fix it, is to introduce competition across state lines and to allow people to purchase just the coverage they they need. No more, no less.

CNN, that’s YOU? Damn son, get off the pro-Obamacare kick. It was a wealth transfer program, ONLY. Don’t FIX Obamacare, scrap it entirely, go back to old ways, and permit cross-state insurance.

The invisible hand of Adam Smith will do the rest.

I wrote BEST and I meant best. Perfect hell no but here is the reality and you might as well face it.

WE CANNOT PROVIDE 100% HEALTHCARE FOR 100% OF THE POPULATION.

Healthcare has always been rationed, is now under Obamacare and always will be.

So the question is who decides. Do you want the government to decide, the insurance companies to decide or DO YOU WANT TO DECIDE THROUGH THE MARKET PLACE.

DO YOU WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH? DO YOU WANT CHOICES.

MOST PROHIBITVLEY EXPENSiVIE IS WHAT IT IS NOW UNDER OBAMARE. You have no thinking skills and are only able to repeat what some one has told you.

the cost of healthcare is destroying our country.
people in trouble will vote to save themselves
by turning to the Democrats

what about that don’t Republicans get?

completion between interstate insurance companies
won’t fix that.
tax free medical savings accounts, won’t help people
who earn 10 bucks an hour.

doctors and hospitals raise their prices
10 percent each year,
because they can

what about that don’t Republicans get?

I’m just saying, there is a whole huge segment of Americans, who were left out, before.

The GOP did nothing. Nothing.

Obama is not a good president, and I am all for Trump. Been for the guy, since before he even announced, in fact.

But he did something to fix the mess, we had. It may not have been the best thing, but it was something.

Which is more than we did. For a long, long time.

That is all I am saying. A lot of Americans were left out before.

Now they’re not. That is good. It is up to Trump to fix the mess, but it needs to be fixed, not nuked.

Just my opinion.

It doesn’t matter.... they may not have voted to give people free health care, but they sure as hell aren’t going to vote to take away people’s free health care. The pubbies are still, by and large, political cowards.

I think you misspelled “most prohibitively expensive”, seems like you mistakenly wrote “best” somehow.
>

I think YOU misspelled illegal and unconstitutional....regardless of ‘best’ or even ‘prohibitively expensive’. NOTHING else matters.

Amend the Constitution or junk O’Care and 99% of the rest of the Fascist/Socialist cabal.

Just saying.

Must be repealed then a clock is set to fix it. If they try to fix it it needs 60 votes and it will bog down. Must be repealed with 50 votes first

The purpose of PPACA is to destroy.

Repeal. And impeach the supreme court justices, too.

No thanks. Obamacare isn’t healthcare. Its an assault on liberty that was designed to destroy the middle-class.

The MSM has you fooled, Obamacare (or Hillarycare or Romneycare or Trumpcare) was not needed. It is just another avenue for the Socialist to take over 1/6th of the economy and use it as leverage against The People.

Government in health care is the problem. Let the market solve health care.

Needed? of the 50 million who didn’t have healthcare at the time, 2/5 were illegals and 2/5 were young people who didn’t care or need health insurance. That left 2-3% of the population that had issues. Why blow up the entire system for 2-3%?

McConnell is a problem. We need to have enough Americans as angry at him as I am. Covention of States to repeal the 17th Amendment and let Kentucky replace him. Our Constitutional Republic got Trump into office thru the Electoral College. Our fore fathers were smarter than the generation who took away Constitutional representation of states in 1913. The socialist left wants us to go to a full on democracy so that sheer numbers in densely populated ghettos can overwhelm the the majority of our country’s liberty loving states.

A few touch-ups could have fixed Frankenstein's monster.
