The communist/dictatorial state comes after Obamacare. Communists don’t even have the social programs we have implemented in this country.

"Republican politicians hard at work..."

Follow the money, always follow the money. The American Hospital Association is for the ACA. Scott ran a hospital company. Therefore Scott must be for the ACA. Simple logic. Why should anyone be surprised?

The only way Obamacare will lower medical costs is by imposing rates.

Meanwhile college aid only pushes up the price of higher education at universities with multibillion dollar endowments.

Yes, I know the talking point. Unfortunately this is not true. It is an insurance co exchange. The subsidies have passed already.

not counting the startup costs the annual cost average is $74 million. For that money you could provide insurance to 12,000 people for about $500/month. A family of 5 only pays about $1200-1400/month for a top rated plan.

At $250/month/pp you’d give the same policy to 24,000 people. Wouldn’t it just be easier to fix the regulatory side without spending any money at all?

Why is the solution getting insurance, instead of increasing competition and access while lowering prices? We’re looking at the wrong end of the elephant.

"Just a question. If the states do not implement an insurance exchange then the federal government does it. So if the states opt out aren’t we inviting more federal government instead of less?"

Can I add on to your question, please?

I understood that if the states set up the exchanges - the Federal govt will be in charge of them anyway - not the states. Is that true?

The states would have guidelines but they are in charge if they set them up

The ruling elite are confirming that liberty can be trumped by a clamoring mob.

Fine, let the chattering mobs have their way. Institute a class action suit that requires ALL follow 0care, including politicians and unions. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Just like the Jews co-opted by the Nazis were in charge. They got on the railroad cars along with the other Jews.

Whatever happened to the plan to take over the house and defund obamacare? Oh, I remember. That went away just like “fixing the GOP from the inside” went away.

I am trying to have a conversation and learn but when you invoke the whole holocaust thing into a conversation you devoid yourself of reality. So you have a nice day.

I have just seen the HHS guidelines if you would like to have a serious conversation I will be happy to respond.

They seem to be failing in Greece.
