True but it's been off-book. I say, confess to the backdoor healthcare subsidies and make it official. Instead of dismantling the free market, co-exist with the poor. As you said, we already do it and pay more because of the ERs, (hospital costs) Obamacare, and Medicaid.
And if the government really wants to have a seat at the table, cap the damn insurance companies. They're the big business behind Obamacare.
If you recall, big insurance companies weren’t out fighting against obamacare. They’ve been paid off by eliminating competition. You never heard the big ones advocating competition across state lines. They didn’t want that.
Obama and his thugs got to the top level management of the big insurance companies. They bought them off.
After the most recent supreme court ruling in favor of obamacare, the key insurance stocks made major gains. They won. We lost.
I don’t see obamacare being thrown out. The republicans aren’t going to do it. They don’t want to go there. It’s all cheap talk. I believe the best we can hope for is to elect someone that would amend it to death.
