we don’t need to FIX any damned thing at all. We need to repeal and then repeal some more until there is no government connection with Medicine or insurance. Anything else just, at best, backs us up a bit on the road to Single Payer.
I agree. You do not enact a law to punish everyone in the country who has/had insurance they were satisfied - AND PENALIZE THEM - to pay for some small percentage of people who had no policy and would be on Medicaid anyway.
Those uninsured ended up on Medicaid anyway, and the rest of us are saddled with a bloated unnecessary bureaucracy that taxes the crap out of everything.
If ANYTHING that effing law should be repealed because of the hundreds of instances where “....at the Secretary’s [NHS] discretion.....” is used. This is just blanket arbitrary fiat waiting to be abused.
REPEAL, REPEAL, REPEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
