“OK, I’ve got a solution,” Krauthammer said. “You make [$80,000 a year] and you don’t have any subsidies. You’ve got a high premium and you lose a lot of money and you end up poor. Well then, you go back and reapply. Now you get a subsidy because you’re poor. So that’s how it would work in practice. Look that wasn’t a joke. That was serious. This is a way of transferring wealth from the upper middle class where you get no subsidies to the lower middle class who aren’t poor enough to end up in Medicaid.”
Krauthammer and Napolitano continued to play out how this works in theory, which is that this “wealth” would be moved around through the health care system via subsidies to those making too making too much to be on Medicaid, but are earning just little enough to qualify for those subsidies. It was a theory Stoddard questioned, but Krauthammer stuck to it, arguing this was something for which the White House had failed to see the political consequences.

I agree with this. To an extent, amnesty for illegal aliens is designed to do the same thing.
Chaz…..late to the party….but trying hard.
By George, I think he might be on to something.
Exactly. Chaz just another damn elitist facilitator. We told you this was the game. You didn’t llisten because you are so ignorant in those Washington salons. The Chicago thugs did a number and you wer too STUPID to know what was going on. Palin RIGHT! RUSH RIGHT! Now we all hope he FAILS!
Wow... He’s just now figuring this out??
Well... this IS exactly what obama promised in his election campaigns!
And America bought it.
Harvard Medical School vs Harvard School of Community Organizing.In this debate my money’s on the Medical School.
What took hum so long/
Well, if I’m healthy, I’m not going to pay so much for health insurance that it makes me poor.
What annoy me most are the “rich” (making more than $60k+) obama voters who don’t want to pay the higher premium. They like how people with preexisting condition/poor get health care, yet fail to see that by doing so means someone will have to pay for it, which means them. Instead they look at ways to reduce their income so they qualify for subsidies
PING! You have a graphic that would fit PERFECTLY on this thread!
For Pete’s sake. When somebody is right, encourage him. Don’t shoot him down because he was wrong before, said something you didn’t like before, or whatever.
That’s why we lose elections.
Agreed.
Krauthammer, for some reason, is late to figuring out the real world!
For an incredibly intelligent and educated man, Krauthammer is sure slow on the uptake.
Whatever meds Krauthammer is presently on, he should stay on ‘em.
So the RINO gimp finally worked that out, huh?
Agreed. CK has constantly been on point about Obamacare. I don’t understand the criticism.
Here’s what any Republican running for office in the foreseeable future has to be ready to respond to:
“America is one of the world’s wealthiest nations, yet for years millions of our citizens have had to go without healthcare, a basic human right. The 1 percent get the world’s best care while America’s hard working poor have had to live in fear of financial ruin from any health problems. President Obama and the Democrats spent years fighting the greedy Republicans and their insurance company sponsors to end this injustice. Now (”insert Republican candidates name”) is trying to take it all back. This election day vote for your health care rights, vote for morality, vote against the heartless selfish greed of the Republicans. Vote Democrat.”
Damn, this crap is too easy to write.
