Why must there now be an Obamacare “replacement†instead of a flat-out repeal? Socialist b@stards.
why? Because the liberals and the media have decided that the old status quo was unacceptable. Tens of millions uninsured and all that; we can’t go back to that, say the liberals.
This issue is a good example where the liberals and the media are setting the terms of the debate; setting up the parameters of what should happen. They have decided that we can’t just repeal Obamacare and start over. Instead, if anything happens, it needs to enhance or deal with aspects of healthcare which Obamacare didn’t adequately address.
The unanswered question here is, how could there be any problems with Obamacare, when the big Dem. majority in both houses of Congress at the time rammed this through? In their wisdom, did they create a program with flaws?? Good Democrats passed legislation which caused unforeseen consequences???/ Nancy P. is this true????? Say it ain’t so......
As a business owner, I know that the old system didn’t work either. My desire to provide at a minimum, a catastrophic health care plan to my employees was killing us a year at a time. Unfortunately, there are a group of people in this country that are basically “uninsurable” due to their preexisting conditions and high cost of treatment. They need to be included in a pool that is subsidized in some way so as to take their costs out of the larger, general pool to reduce costs for the rest of us. I disagree with the idea of “mandatory” participation, but the reduced number of companies offering affordable basic plans has made the liberal goal of single payer less and less avoidable for the self employed unemployed. Essentially making them a high risk group similar to drivers that are uninsurable due to multiple high costs claims and DUI, etc.
