Except you aren’t the one who neither voted for PPACA nor has to deal with the consequences of having your health care strung up in a weird way then cut down to fall broken on the floor. Nightmare stories of cancer treatments canceled will cram the airwaves.
Remember the USA cannot think more than one step any more. They are going to think of who did the most recent thing in throwing their health care into chaos. And it was not Democrats.
There has to be a trampoline, something, or the revolt is going to go against someone who is not the Democrats.
Damn the torpedoes (and your tax payer subsidized socialist healthcare plan), full speed ahead! It’s only the survival of our Constitutional Republic at stake!
I agree, it would be the dumbest political move ever, and would guarantee permanent obamacare and worse in perpetuity. GOP has to think politically here and offer a solution that transitions to a free market system without stripping people of their health plan during the transition.
Since we’re having high priced policies sold in the marketplace, then the issue is actually buying and paying for them.
It strikes me that the policies can continue being bought and sold. This congressman wants to implement tax credits to pay for the shortfall in people’s income rather than have direct government subsidies going to the purchase. He wants the people to have the money in hand that goes to the companies.
I want them to buy their own car insurance, too. In the long run that’s the best way to do it. I just don’t get subsidies in the form of tax credits to pay for my car insurance.
But, I see no reason for there to be a gap in time between coverage. Last year it was your cash plus fed subsidy that paid thru the fed. This year it will be your cash plus fed tax credit that pays thru your bank account.
