So elementary...and would actually be constitutional.
So much of the problem is not that the government isn't 'providing' coverage...it is that it is *disallowing* coverage.
Whenever the government fixes something, it always makes it worse. The best thing they can do is let the marketplace correct the problem, whatever the problem may be.
Anytime something is maddeningly expensive you should always follow the money, figure out who’s getting rich from it. In this case it’s insurance companies, they’re siphoning off an incredible amount of money in the trail between doctor and patient while providing absolutely nothing of value, they’re simply middlemen. Did you ever wonder why insurance companies didn’t fight Obamacare? It’s because they got richer from it, who wouldn’t want a law saying everyone has to buy your product? Start with the insurance industry, I’d prefer to see health insurance outlawed all together, it provides no value other than skimming money. Schemes like selling insurance across state lines are mere band aids that will be laughed at, they’ll end run that in a day. The problem is the insurance industry takes a large amount of that money they’re skimming and funnels it back into politicians pockets to keep them voting for laws that allow insurance to rip us off.
The GOP plan is sitting on their ass doing nothing like they have for the PAST 15 YEARS.
Total idiots for not creating a great alternative that gets the government out of it and puts patients first rather than insurance companies.
I got something that the GOP can do. JUST ELIMINATE THE ACA, and let the free market do its thing.
This is already allowed. I know because I did just that. I got a letter from SS saying they were going to take 139$ a month out of my SS check beginning in 2 months. I went to their office right away to cancel enrollment. It still took 139$ for a month anyways but stopped after that.
Republicans and “unite” are incongruous in the same sentence.
The govt jumped in bed with the insurance establishment and it’s cost us all alot of money and ruined healthcare.
Likewise did so for my wife, though I have to wonder if this means 'opt out without having another qualified alternative', such as the insurance of an employer (my case). While you are allowed to opt out like that today, there's the warning about a (big) future penalty of you sign on later.
THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE OR REPLACEMENT!!! GET GOVT OUT OF THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS ENTIRELY!!! THAT IS THE ONLY PATH OUT OF THIS INSANITY
You can have it fast, you can have it inexpensive, or you can have it high quality. You can even have any two of those at once... but you can never have all 3 at the same time. Period.
And the obvious and only way to make that leap is for the ACA to explode prices and deductibles and premiums (which it has), until the system collapses, and the ONLY possible reaction for the supermajority of voters is to insist that only government is big enough and has enough resources to "fix" the problem.
Let's not step into the trap as they intended all along.
thank you
