Let’s cut to the chase. Obamacare is really a tax (and a personal, medical history, and financial information gathering tool to collect data on citizen for much more nefarious uses later). It was never really designed to pay any real medical benefits. The high deductibles and high premiums ensure that the Feds get to keep the majority of the dough if they can keep from paying out where it really hurts ‘em - senior citizens whose bodies break down after working 60 some odd years paying in taxes. The Feds know that if they can death panel them or force them to get coverage that pays less benefits they get to keep much more. And then you have someone like Gruber who comes along and just makes their intent that much more obvious because of his Asbergerish type comments that reveal the truth. The Feds will never come out and admit it but we all know its the truth.

Why? Reading the first few lines makes my eyes hurt. I suspect most will not get that far.

Obama said that if an elderly person needs a hip replacement it would be more cost effective to give that person a pain pill.

Notice Leftists never say medical treatment for all but emphasize on the insurance for all.. Two different things.

" Reading the first few lines makes my eyes hurt. I suspect most will not get that far."

Correct. Obambicare has made our medical system so complicated that many just sign up thinking it's more free stuff without reading the fine print. And Medicare is a joke and I blame that somewhat on W Bush and his free medicine, which often times turns out not be so free. Ever wonder why you see all those insurance commercials to cover Plan D or whatever?

Orwell covers this in Animal Farm. After promising the stocky horse that he will be able to retire to leisure and pasture after he has worked hard, Napoleon the communist pig sells him to the dog food processor as soon as the horse’s usefulness is over. And the sheep said nothing....

God willing getting there in a very few years. But for now I pay my own way. But looking forward to collecting all those great gov benefits as a senior.

“. ”First, elders place much more weight on plan premiums than they do on the expected out of pocket costs that they will incur under the plan.”


Here we go again——those dumb old seniors can’t figure anything out.

I’m one of them.

Shut the hell up,Gruber.

Suppose Pajama boy had only 3 restaurants to choose from or only 3 suits to purchase. His rhetoric might change...

Well, with $5,000,000 of FU money in the bank, and opposed to living from one SS check to the next, your purchasing decisions change.

My neighbour is retired. I am working. We both need a new furnace. My neighbour buys on a monthly payment plan, as my neighbour has no other option. For me, I can pay cash

Gruber/Hitler, you decide! No wonder ACA has “death commissions,” this little bastard (and his soulmate, George Soros) are hard-core Marxists.

(from the article):"“In either case,” he concluded, “our estimates imply that consumers would be better off if there were less scope for choosing the wrong plan.”

Answer : CONTROL !

jsanders2001:"The high deductibles and high premiums ensure that the Feds get to keep the majority of the dough if they can keep from paying out where it really hurts ‘em "

ANSWER : CORRECT !
If seniors pay the higher premium , then there is less that the FED Govt., and their agent(Social Security/Medicare) can "claw back" in medical expenses,fees and estate taxes .
Der Fuhrer vants all he can get back ! No squawking allowed.
Do you want to be Grubered again ?

“lowest cost” = lowest level of care

“senior” = older and in need of more care

greater care deficit = earlier death

earlier death = lower costs

Much like they view abortion, just at the other end of the age spectrum.

Exactly. And yes, that's why AARP supported Obamacare. So they could sell more "medigap" insurance.
