Dummies will still blame the evil Republicans regardless. At least I have one convert at work. He’s all quiet now about Obamacare.
While I agree with you that we should always question their motives, I think it’s important for our fellow citizens to see some of the absurd things that are required to be in EVERY policy.
WHY should maternity be in the policy of EVERY American?
Why should ASPIRIN be paid for by insurance AND required in every policy?
If you’re a reckless driver, then you should have to have that kind of car insurance, but I’m not, and the government shouldn’t be requiring me to have it.
If you like fragrance in your car, then go buy it, you shouldn’t have the government requiring it in EVERY car insurance policy.
This kind of nonsense is exactly what opens peoples’ eyes sometimes about the difference between too much government and a government that only handles essential items for governments. When they start thinking along those lines, then it’s possible that good can follow close behind.
I don’t think it isn’t working.
It’s working grandly to blow back in the Dems’ faces!!
Those evil Republicans didn’t stop the evil Democrats from being too evil :-)
Perhaps at the outset, when the thing was just a plan and a piece of legislation. Now that the roll-out has produced a catastrophic fail of truly epic proportions, accompanied by almost universal ridicule, NOBODY wants to be associated with it, particularly nobody running for re-election in the midterms. It's only the Obama-worshipping denizens of the media, with their desperate search to find any miniscule silver lining in this massive black cloud, who have anything remotely positive to say about it.
It is true that some people don’t have the money to pay for any kind of health insurance. Especially if there are dependents involved, that’s an important issue. Some people — many irresponsible — will never get there.
The Good Samaritan type coverage in emergency rooms for that kind of thing was not necessary, but I understood it, and in the context of a Good Samaritan, I was willing to go along with it.
It got abused and got crazy.
At least they should have been tracking individual abusers by SSN, so they could modify to deny emergency room care.
Without something as harsh as the threat of jail time, you're giving hospitals no other choice but to: (1) require uninsured patients to pay cash or post a bond up front, or (2) close down.
That's OK, neither does the Government.
I am not even sure what really qualifies as a GOP-E anyhow. I guess that’s GOP lite or something. Dunno. Hard to be as demented as a modern Democrat.
Well these plans as employer benefits were never that for a long time. They were more like health maintenance plans. It would be like car insurance that covered oil changes.
Really? Glad you got that off your chest.
But what about oil changes? At first glance it would seem silly for an auto insurance policy to cover routine maintenance like an oil change. But what if an auto insurance policy covered powertrain failures in addition to loss and damage from collisions, theft, etc.? In a hypothetical case like that (which might be a good parallel to medical insurance), the insurance company has a huge financial incentive not only to cover oil changes, but to require you to have the oil changed regularly as a condition of maintaining your insurance.
You beat me to it! See Post #53.
Well whatever it is, it isn’t quite an insurance policy now. It’s maintenance.
There isn’t any well-man visit coverage since men tend to vote Republican.

You seem to be missing the whole reason for ObamaCare. It has nothing to do with healthcare, nor with insurance. It is all about control. Control over your decisions. Control over nearly every aspect of your life. And control over who lives, and who dies.
Much like the reason for Marine boot camp, where the DIs mentally and emotionally "break down" the Marine recruits, only to mold them into a cohesive fighting force, the reason for this nightmarish "roll-out" is to break down the public's expectations of what health care should be, and in many cases, what the public has come to depend on, in order to replace it with a nationalized health care system, much like that in Great Britain. IIRC, one of the "architects" of ObamaCare has been repeatedly quoted as admiring the NHS, and hoping to turn the US health care system, formerly one of the best in the world, into a clone of the NHS.

I’m glad you posted the article. I’m NOT against the exposition of the listed absurdities, and have often called for in my commentaries the exposing of Leftist idiocies.
MY POINT being we need be more active exposing the true motives of the Marxists.
Obamacare is a tool, a stealth transport tool to sneak past our populace’s sensibilities, our securities under the guise of healthcare the basis of the control the Marxist’s require to establish a form of government the Marxist’s can protect long enough for it to become accepted as the ruling entity. It doesn’t take much time once established for the masses to acquiesce. They already are.
That stood out to me...what does that mean? Is this psychological analysis?
