Senate and house RINO’s who have changed their mind on the subject of Obamacare since unexpectedly winning the presidential election. Are just demonstrating how much they really like the power they have been campaigning successfully against for the last 6 years.
Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz are right thou, if they passed either the senate or House version not only would they be voting for Obamacare light, they would effectively condemning the entire health insurance industry collapses in half the time of Obamacare.
The reason is very simple, if you can wait until your house is on fire to buy insurance you won’t start paying for it until your house is actually on fire, and you will stop paying for it shortly after being reembursed for your new house.
Thus the cost of that insurance for it to exist must be roughly equal or slightly higher(for administrative fees) to the cost of your average house. At least until people on the lower end figure out they are better off paying out of pocket. At which point the system collapses completely as its costs run out of control.
This is what is already happening to Obamacare, as the individual mandate is very cheap compared to the insurance product mandates. Under the Senate plan that difference would be even more dramatic, and the house plan much the same except in those states where all mandates were drooped.
Thus I would support the House plan, but not the Senate plan, as it allows the State’s to choose wether or not their insurance market collapces.
For Republican States that opt out thou even the House version of Obamacare would be politically difficult to defend as not only is it as unconstitutional as the original Obamacare. But people won’t necessary like what insurance can cover economically without a pre-existing condition clause. Unless that too can be opted out of.
The GOP needs to get the democRATs to start talking about how they would fix Obamacare for people to realize how bankrupt and what morons they are.
What I would like to see is catastrophic and pre-existing coverage for all. Beyond that you can decide how much insurance you need or don’t need. My parents used to pay cash for the doctor and dentist. It’s the catastrophic emergencies and pre-existing conditions that bankrupt people.
