“We’ll have to pass it to find out what’s in it.” /dumb
This is republican’s opportunity to kill the bill. They should amend this as the democrats want to, but at the same time amend the whole thing to be completely voluntary and non-binding and non-enforceable. Oh hell, just repeal it.
"We have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it." - Nancy Pelosi, March 9, 2010
This was their justification for ramming this thing through without a thorough debate or analysis. Look what haste hath wrought.
We had to pass the bill to find out what's in it.
“...more with insurance but without access to care.” That appears to be the agenda. Good old Van Jones—inside out.
This bill was always about creating Government dependency.
Why is this ‘gotcha’ a surprise?
The real surpise is this: How many state budgets will this ‘mistake’ bankrupt? All 50?
As if state budgets aren’t stressed enough without adding millions more medicaid patients! I wish the GOP would do more to stop Obamacare. I feel like they are taking their eyes off the prize!
>What doubly sucks is the first person that even suggests that this madness should be undone will be thoroughly demonized for “trying to roll back and cut Medicare”.
Which should be why EVERYONE that is able should hop on this baby... let’s bring the monster down.
“Can’t do it. This just piles the debt onto our children’s backs. At the rate we are going, the next generation of Americans might become 3rd world serfs. :(”
And if you don’t do it you will get piles of debt onto our children anyway. At least if you do do it then the politicians in Washington will see that wall more as a tilde wave then the drastically less threatening slow steady rise of water that is more the next guy’s problem.
As a result they will be more inclined to act to protect themselves and ultimately us from this irresponsible program.
You see that there is the largest part of our problem with Washington’s spending and debt, the politicians now in office enjoying the fruits of their spending are not exposed to the costs of them spending cause it is indeed too long term.
By adding your weight to the pile you either diminish the value of fruits( dividing a finite sum up more) or you increase the rate of the problem thus making the problem far more immediate.
Either way as counter-intuitive as it may sound taking as much money as you can from the system is the best way to help destroy and/or reform it.
Here is a new twist you can look for. Just like many couples (retirement age) don’t marry or even divorce in some cases to increase their Social Secuirty, You can expect the same here so that when separate returns are filed bringing them below the $64K threshold each and single they will now qualify for Medicaid with a $120,000 plus income. You have to pass it to see what is in it and I’m telling you this will be the next foot to fall and that 3 million number will go to 6 million
Your Medicaid doctor will be from Bangladesh and might speak 100 words of English
