I agree.
Healthcare is the one issue, that the GOP seems to me, to be completely sold out on.
It is massively overpriced, and excludes people in circumstances, exactly like what is mentioned here. And things exactly like this are then done, and the GOP is HAMMERED for it.
I understand there will be those who take issue with me for saying this, but I really do not think the GOP should be doing this.
This is TERRIBLY non-productive.
Almost catastrophically, in fact. Terrible politically.
Way off base.
Of course I am just one opinion, but I KNOW I am not alone in thinking this.
Not at all.
Obamacare could have been avoided by 2 simple changes
No exclusion for pre-existing conditions and community pricing.
These 2 simple changes, are what should have been done, and had they been the entire fiasco of Obamacare and trillions burned for it would have been avoided.
Unfortunately politically, there is a segment of the population that are frankly idiotic, that believe the market solves all, just as others stupidly as others believe the government solves all.
Insurance, is simply the socialization of risk, it’s a fundamentally socialist construct, to argue that unbridled capitalism can thusly be applied to it and wind up with a successful outcome is beyond stupid.
If your goal is to ensure all persons have access to health insurance, which by proxy, is neccessary in the United States to receive quality care, then those 2 simple changes maximize coverage and minimize overall impact to the system, that’s the solution.
Those market Uber alles types and their flat out refusal to accept reality are ensuring that eventually the US is going to sooner or later wind up with single payer. What they also fail to grasp is those with those pre-existing conditions health costs are being picked up by the state already.
This “bill” by the GOP is beyond stupid, and they will rightfully get beat up on this. If you think the GOPe cares about what’s right with the American people you have missed the last 40 years. With the exceptions of Reagan and Trump who FORCED the party’s hand on certain issues, the party as a whole has not put what is right at the top of the list for most domestic policy.
They may not be as whackadoo as the democrats, don’t kid yourself into thinking they aren’t serving their own puppet masters at the end of the day that aren’t you and I.
What the hell do you think makes health care "massively overpriced" in the first place?
I stand beside you. Let those who choose to take issue with this rant. The Senate is dysfunctional most of the time. We really need new people there, especially a new Leader.
