Posted on 07/21/2016 5:01:30 PM PDT by Java4Jay

Humana, one of the largest health care providers in the country, has made the decision to eventually leave the vast majority of the Obamacare markets. Out of the 23 Obamacare co-ops that were established only seven remain, virtually all of them under threat of folding by the end of this year.

“Obamacare” was a total deranged fraud from the beginning.

Driving insurance companies out of business so that Democrats will have to take over was the plan from the beginning.

I would go easy on this.

There is a sizable group of Americans, who think our healthcare coverage is currently very screwed up, and needs to be fixed.

Obama was trying to fix it. We do NOT need to return to what we had before. That was an absolute mess.

Just my opinion mind you. But I feed strongly, this subject could very easily be a strong one, for democrats, if we hand it to them.

Yes, the mess could be eliminated by single payer. All that tacky, affordable care we had before Obama ‘fixed’ it was the worst in the world, except for all the others.

I’m retired but I was able to continue my public sector employers insurance at what I assume is a discounted group rate with a major carrier. Today I breezed through a featured annual checkup while I watched in horror as a younger minority woman at our doctor’s office sat on the phone waiting for her insurance rep to step out of a meeting somewhere to let her know why she had not received her updated insurance card.

We had the best healthcare system in the world. Until Hillary we had charity care and a saftey net. She crippled the system and Obama finished it off. We need to move the exact opposite direction from Obamacare, privatized and competition across state lines, healthcare savings accounts...all covered in Trump’s plan for healthcare reform.

There is your legacy MOFO. Maybe Reggie can come over to console you, or Moochele goes straight tonight.

1. I would go easy on this.
2. There is a sizable group of Americans, who think our healthcare coverage is currently very screwed up, and needs to be fixed.
3. Obama was trying to fix it. We do NOT need to return to what we had before. That was an absolute mess.
4. Just my opinion mind you. But I feed strongly, this subject could very easily be a strong one, for democrats, if we hand it to them.

=====================================

1. Excellent advice.

2. We can't have it all. It's socialized medicine, one's own plan or a mixture of both.
I know that for my 50 years of work, it was the BENNIES we all worked for. Health coverage during and after job end were ESSENTIAL. There are only a limited amount of choices. The rich can pay for the best because they are rich; the poor get the freebies from the government. We in the middle class have to be VERY astute when making the "health plan" decision.

3. I SUPPOSE Obama was trying to fix it though the socialized medicine plan is NOT the ideal in any way, shape or form. It's more of the Democrat "nanny state" plan, that is, to make Americans 100% dependent on the federal government...the gubmin nipple.

4. 100% correct and it is SCARY!

What we had before wasn’t perfect but a heck of a lot better than where we are now. Instead of screwing with insurance why don’t they go after lawyers for all the stupid lawsuits and judges for allowing stupid lawsuits? I’m not saying that there aren’t bad doctors out there but what’s happened hasn’t stopped it. If someone wanted insurance they could get it for the most part. They just didn’t want to pay for it. The only good thing I see was preexisting conditions. That’s it.
