There is a battle taking shape in the GOP.
There is a significant number of people, who simply want Obamacare repealed.
There is also a significant number of people, who want it FIXED. I myself fall in that camp.
I think US healthcare is a big, big topic for this administration. Our healthcare has become a very, very expensive mess. But that is just my opinion.
There are plenty of FReepers however, who seem to also fall in the camp opposing everything about Obama, including Obamacare.
I tell you just from my opinion however, this is the one issue I firmly believe Obama had the right idea on, and the GOP has been completely asleep on, for at least several decades.
GOP you did nothing. Nothing.
Obamacare was needed. It is a mess, but it was needed.
FIX it. Don’t simply end it. We do not need to return to our messed up healthcare system.
Republicans tried to repeal it twice while leaving the two points in there and Obama vetoed.
FIX it. Don’t simply end it. We do not need to return to our messed up healthcare system.
Compulsion to contract is illegal.
I think trump is going to leave the preexisting condition part and the high school (i mean 26 year old stuff) which makes sense to me. a separate preexisting condition pool has been i think part of the heritage foundation proposals. a better option would be to buy lifelong policies when young. that follow regardless of unemployment, insure for only catastrophic events. and last for you life time.
Sir, with all due respect, your comments remind me of a guy I came upon while helping out in Jarrell, Texas back in 1997 following a tornado that killed 27 people.
The poor fellows house was just a pile of rubble scattered over 10 acres. He was of course distraught to say the least but was actually engaged in a discussion about whether or not anything could be salvaged, which, under the circumstances prevailing at the moment, was incredulous. I overheard the other fellow he was talking to gently say something like “Bill (can’t remember his name), I think you better just let us scoop it all up and put it in the dumpster”.
Obama are was not needed. There is nothing in this world except a government program that needs 20,000 pages to implement. What parts of this huge weath wasting transfer scheme needs to be saved?
For the life of me I can’t undersand anyone who thinks the government makes any situation better with 20000 pages of regulations?
Wrong, recent noob addition to Free Republic. The only thing that needed to happen was to allow insurance across state lines.
You aren't really on our side, are ya.
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
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%?
Please, go away and die a peaceful death, by yourself. Or just leave me and mine alone.
A few touch-ups could have fixed Frankenstein's monster.
When...if we get there....you will have bean counter's telling you what healthcare you can have...and what healthcare you can't have.
Example...." Oh, sorry you are over 70 yrs old...we don't authorize CABG's after 70..."
Or...."Oh, you need a CABG....we will schedule that 9 months from today.."
Or..."You have a child that has Down's....We are sorry, but we will not treat symptoms, any longer"
I could go on and on....but you think Obama had the RIGHT IDEA.
That's great....................
