You have nailed the problem at the root of everything in today's America. The vast majority simply don't want everything to be free..irregardless of income or political party.
I often think the political debate is about the best way to get yours while making it seem like the other guy is stealing something ...
I’m a piss poor proof reader. Strike the don’t
I suppose they think of each child that dies because of lack of NIH funding as just another “bump in the road.”
My sister Aimee is so far left she makes Jesse Jackson look like Jess Helms... she is having trouble with is... age 60, and looking at a $15,000 deductible[that is not a typo]. She could not complete the process, I suggested she wait a few weeks.
Yes, the Soviet system.
Heck, it’s not even insurance—that would at least be risk-based other than just on a modified age basis.
I’m self-employed and my affordable plan has disappeared. For the same price now I have to go with a $5k deductible—insane!
Exactly. The poor are already covered under Medicaid, and the healthy young and self-employed already had such high-deductible options available, if they were ready to fork out a few bucks.
The uninsurable essentially become wards of state if you give them insurance now, so yes—their assets and income should be tapped heavily. That could be handled perfectly well at the state level.
We’ve now got billions and billions and billions in new bureaucracy, going to the politically connected (wouldn’t you just love to know the lobbyists for that Canadian IT firm?), and corruption of the insurance and healthcare sectors under a form of corporate fascism. All while waiting for this one-seventh of our economy to be fully nationalized.
Based on conversation I have has over the years I suspect that the average Obamacare supporter believes the following:
1. Obamacare will be free.
2. Obamacare will increase access to healthcare.
3. Obamacare will increase medical research and advancement.
4. Obamacare will punish insurance companies for their evil ways.
I especially like reading stories from libs when they are suddenly struck with the truth that they were duped.
I have been screaming this...nobody seems to stop and look at the difference.
