I remember when Reagan was running my liberal sisters said the main problem was he had simple solutions for complex problems. Duh! I sure think giving folks money to buy private insurance makes more sense than a huge government program.

Instead of paying the insurance companies off for their losses with taxpayer money, wouldn't it have been cheaper to cut out the middleman and subsidize the hospitals for their losses? Not that the federal government has any business doing either.
Insurance is not healthcare.

How about we get rid of 20 million illegals first. Maybe 20 million of their anchor babies will go with them. Does America really need 320 million inhabitants?

That's what I said four years ago, when there were supposedly only 30 million "uninsured".
Now there are more and even those who have Health Insure are hurting.
So instead of fixing the problem they made it much worse.
Nice train wreck 0bama, Pelosi. You can't say we didn't warn you.

With all of the $billions that have been spent on Obamacare related, only a small number of those pre-Obamacare uninsured do have insurance now.
The Dems tried to sell Obamacare as aimed to insure the uninsured. So far, it has fallen far short.

it was designed to fail while messing up the healthcare system so badly that the sheeple will clamor for “single payer”

Why not just make all medical expenses and health insurance a tax write-off?
To: Reaganite Republican
There are advantages and disadvantages of such a commonsense plan is as follows:
The typical welfare dollar has 72 cents of administrative load. Meaning, 28 cents gets through to the recipient.
But such a scheme bypasses the insurance lobby.
I’m not prepared to issue much of a comprehensive thesis on the dynamics, but IMO the Dems have Grubered out that they will be able to divert tremendously more money out of the economy AND preserve their voter base AND preserve their ins lobby contribution by keeping in place the already-existing insurance edifice.

Why Not Just Subsidize All 48M Uninsured @ $200/mo -Take it or Leave It- + Fully Repeal Obamacare? Because it wouldn't funnel crony $$ to RAT supporters...not to mention the 'loss of power' and 'reduction in government'.../s

Raise the threshold for Medicaid from 133% of the poverty line to 150% or 167%. Open up all commercial healthcare plans to competition across state lines. Provide catastrophic coverage at government cost to anyone who slips through those cracks.
To reduce costs, begin deportation of any illegals caught.
