Probably designed to fail so the Dems can implement “single payer” government run so-called health care.
Health insurance is sooooo 20th century.
Just saying.
We didn’t have everyone covered, so Obamacare came along.
If we had everyone covered, it wouldn’t have.
Why isn’t there a political price to be paid by those who foisted this abomination onto the American public? Anyone involved with this monstrosity should be relegated to the outer regions of hell with sharp sticks rammed into their nether regions. Instead, they will be given every opportunity to ‘fix’ the situation.
Persistent Vegatative State.
You kmow what the left was rooting for with Schiavo.
I say we figuratively do the same thing to this monstrosity.
” Democrats gained the political muscle to push the Affordable Care Act (ACA) through Congress on three basic arguments.”
What political muscle - all the repubs voted against, and they even had to bribe some Rats and bypass the filibuster by passing it on a budget reconciliation basis which was totally bogus.
Gruber. Where’s his head?
With 12.5 million Californians of 100% subsidized Medi-Cal (Medicaid) Obamacare ain’t going away. These people vote.
Obamacare was about forcing working people to buy overpriced garbage policies to subsidize people on Medicaid.
All at the barrel of a gun of course.
But we shouldn’t be rooting for it to fail? Because then we get single payer?
i used to be covered by my firm. This past June they stopped because they were only covering some workers and they would have been fined had they continued. I now pay $1200 a month for coverage with no offsetting compensation. Obamacare gave me a $14,400 a year pay cut. Its made every month a struggle to stay afloat. Not a month by now where i don’t have to worry about having enough to make rent.
Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?
So DEMOCRATS ... SHUT UP!!! You have no integrity!!!
So long as there is a Dem or RINO in the White House, CJ Roberts on the bench and McConnell and Ryan running the show on the hill, Obamacare is fine and dandy.
Didn’t the government take over a chicken ranch in Nevada and it went belly up?
The government can’t even manage a brothel, much less a nation.
“A promise of compensation for specific potential future losses in exchange for a periodic payment. Insurance is designed to protect the financial well-being of an individual, company or other entity in the case of unexpected loss.”
Periodic payment is monetary or other effort to prepare for the future. Insurance can be in the form of education, savings, investment, car insurance, health insurance, or life insurance. In each case the individual is taking responsibility for his or her future (this also includes the future offspring).
We now find ourselves in a system that is not unlike Rome. Bread and Circuses kept the Roman population engaged. The Intellectual Elite ruled.
Our current entertainment industry is like the Circuses of old, whether daytime television, movies, games or streaming video. They control the message. Remember the Lefts exclamation in the 60’s, “The Media is the Message.”
Our social support system, just like the hand out of bread in ancient Rome, keeps the masses dependent. The Intellectual Elite (graduates of the “best” universities and colleges) rule, and determine what our laws mean, and which ones are enforced. They ignore the original intent of laws and spin them to suit their desire. Anything to reach the ultimate goal of a worldwide socialist government.
On the individual level, when those who do not prepare for the future with an investment in education, effort or insurance,find themselves in need, they turn to government to force those who have prepared to pay for their negligence,(socialism at its basic root).
Hence we have individuals with an equal opportunity to education (K-12 and in some cases two years of free community college), investment opportunities, savings opportunities, and access to insurance. Choice become paramount. Yet by an individual choosing to spend their income on pleasure (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, gambling, a boat, the newest car, the lottery, the latest fads etc.), the money is not available for the investments, and their future is not insured.
You end up with families and coworkers with the same opportunities, living totally different lifestyles. Past choices make that difference. One is up to their ears in debt, and the other is comfortable and prepared for the future.
The one who is prepared for the future (insurance) did without to prepare for themselves and their prosperity. The others indulged themselves and now need. They look to the government for a hand out. No one should refuse helping someone up, but beware of the hand out. That hand keeps reaching for more.
The Bible is very clear about Christian charity. Those who will not work, will not eat. but at the same time we should take care of the orphans and widows. Notice these are the helpless with no outside support from family. The rest have family. for charity begins at home.
Instant gratification is not an excuse for demanding that those who have prepared for the future, pay for the lack of preparation by those who ignored opportunities. The poorest among us in the USA is rich compared to over 80 percent of the world's population.
Opportunities in the US are tremendous. The problem is that those who would destroy our Republic are intent upon dividing us and making large segments of our population dependent upon the government. They then pit these groups against each other. Big government takes from those who are successful and does so, at the point of a gun.
The future problem is evident to those who study history. Not necessarily ancient, but recent history. As the old Soviet state discovered, all suffered mediocrity under its rule, except for the ruling intelligentsia, who were more equal than others. It limped along until it ran out of money. They turned a nation with vast resources into a limping, suffering, drag on their citizens.
We used to teach children individual responsibility in school. We had and educational system that taught self dependence, rather than dependence on the state.
Those intent upon the destruction of our Republic gravitated to high and higher positions in our institutions, giving preference to with the same goals. The large Ivy league schools were the first to be targeted. Each individual graduate, once indoctrinated, view themselves as part of the future intelligentsia that will rule a socialist state or world government.
They view those outside of their politically correct crowd as ignorant, radical, and as groups to be subdued or used to accomplish their ultimate goal. They break Americans into groups and then pit these groups against each other. They lionize the violent elements in our society and hold them up as victims or heroes.
We must restore our American Republic. Equal treatment under the law, and laws enforced. The public safety must be paramount, but not by making us vulnerable, by removing our Constitutional right to defend ourselves, or speak our minds. Why do you think they spend so much time trying to limit the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution. These are bedrock of our Republic.
R.O.A.R.
Restore our American Republic!
