Now there is a POS article if one were ever written, and Free Republic usually gets a barf alert in the title so people can choose to avoid absolute vomit like this.
Let the free market provide health insurance.
Leave medical charity to private charities.
Because absolutely people will go with the correct solution.
So you pounded your chest and what is your solution? What are you going to do with 50 million uninsured?
Obama conditioned us to talk about health care as a “game” where there are “winners” and “losers.”
C’mon! This is America! Can’t we find some win-win scenarios?
Absolute right answer, not going to happen.
And yet that is exactly what the GOP claimed - and acted on - while Obama was still president. They sent at least one clean repeal bill to his desk, after passage in both the house and senate, knowing he would veto.
And they claimed they had the right formula, the right answer to getting rid of the monstrosity - just before they stated that they were rolling their sleeves up to come up with the solution they already said they had.
To those who say the current bills are a good start, I ask a simple question: Are the current bills also an appropriate end point? Because it is clear that the GOP does not have the stones to do the hard work of actually getting rid of the federal takeover of health insurance and health care - and the GOP politicians will do and say nothing to reveal this duplicity on their part.
ABSOLUTELY! To borrow a line from President Trump;
Get the government the hell out of our personal lives!
That ship sailed with nOcare. There is only bad and worse. Repeal it and you may be without any insurance at all, which may not be the worst thing.
You guys don’t get it.
There is no longer a moral or ideological position about money. Money is created from thin air by the Federal Reserve via Quantitative Ease. How can such a substance be something to have moral arguments about?
And so, the healthcare bill has to do two things and ONLY two things, in a purely political way.
1) It has to reduce premiums
2) It has to pass both houses.
No other requirements. Doesn’t matter what it does for pre-ex conditions. Doesn’t matter what it does for abortion. Doesn’t mater what it does for Medicaid.
It has to do those two things above, and only those two things, and neither is more important than the other.
If nothing passes, most Republicans lose next year, switching both houses over, just in time for Ginsberg to die or retire.
If 500,000 armed citizens showed uo in DC with a gallows the scumbags who said they would repeal would repeal. Or we try them all and hang the guilty thieves, which is all of them.
Repeal only
One more thought. My family and I pay around $1800.00 a month for a high-deductible ($6500/13000) private (non-exchange) policy. That means that we have to shell out $28100.00 over the year before a single individual covered by the policy gets any significant monetary relief.
We have coverage galore, but cannot make use of it until we have spent nearly $30K out of pocket.
And we are the lucky ones because we can pay for it.
If we could purchase insurance across state lines and design the package with only the benefits we need — JUST LIKE THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES’ HEALTH BENEFITS PLANS — costs would go down for insurance.
So what you could use to start is a HC savings account and a high deductible of around 50K so after a couple years your risk is around 20K.
Sounds great, not going to happen.
Nice job trolling. You have no answers like most keyboard warriors.
Good piece, Bray.
Reality sucks but we must face it.
No one is going to fully repeal Obamacare all at once. Actually it would be inhumane to do so.
The gov’t forced people onto the Obamacare plank. You can’t suddenly saw off the plank and drop the people into the abyss.
We need to pass this bill and incrementally move people off the gov’t plank.
