They never really wanted to repeal it.
I have a question for everybody, didn’t want to post it as a vanity. My question is this:
Given that Congress has agreed to pay some medical bills, without limit, and has imposed on providers the obligation to provide free care in some instances (care for people without the ability or intention to pay for it), and given that these payments and uncompensated care now add up to between 60-80% of all expenditures - why does Ryancare create such a large role for “insurance” companies?
I put “insurance” in scare quotes because you can’t rate and write insurance for certainties. Pregnant women are going to go into labor (for example). People eventually get sick and go to the doctor - etc, etc.
I believe this is all going to nationalization, probably pretty quickly, but in case the GOP ever actually writes a bill to put on Trump’s desk that is NOT single payer - what’s the argument for multiple payers, each with a slice of the pie, for events that, unlike car accidents and house fires occur inevitably (in a lifetime)?
Agreed.
>> Bump if you agree.
bttt
Jim, I have said many times and even been banned from this site for saying (quoting actually) .... Candidate Trump and now President Trump, supports the federal government take over of health care.
Even if Congress does repeal Obamacare, President Trump will simply replace it with Trumpcare. Neither is appropriate nor authorized under the constitution.
REPEAL IT NOW!!!!!!!
REPEAL IT! Period.
Call Congress: (202) 224-3121.
If the bill is improved to the point that the Freedom Caucus is on board, won't that imply that the legislation is somewhat more acceptable.
After all, without the support of the historically steadfast House Freedom Caucus, as well as stalwarts in the Senate like Ted Cruz, Ron Paul, and maybe one or two others, this bill will not pass.
So I'm asking you that if the HFC ends up voting "aye", will you take that at a positive sign? Or will you instead conclude that they sold us down the river, along with the President and the rest of the Legislature?
Just wondering what kind of developments might indicate that the bill has indeed undergone sufficiently positive change.
I mean, let's be realistic here: are the "hyper-purists" ever going to get what they want out of this process?
I just don't know what to expect, at this point, if the Freedom Caucus and Senators like Cruz and Paul get on board...
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Facts:
Many Doctors have retired early so as not to deal with Obamacare;
A number of health insurance companies have folded;
Premiums and deductibles have increased and will continue to increase;
Buying INSURANCE after the fact (pre-existing conditions) is ludicrous;
The ridiculous concept of any grown adult under 26 must be added to their parents' plan is just dumb;
A large proportion of the newly "insured" were actually added to the Medicaid roles;
Health INSURANCE is not a right. It's a product to purchase.;
Chief Justice Robert's decision that citizens could be taxed for not buying a product was highly un-Constitutional;
The Fedgov has NO mandate in the Constitution to even be involved.
The ACA only got half the participation they anticipated;
I'm sure I'm missing some things, but what really stands out is the fact this Obama/Pelosi debacle was passed in the dead of night with NO Republican votes. The entire idea of "passing it to see what's in it" was abhorrent to anyone with 2 brain cells. Wonder if the insurance companies are still happy they lobbied for more policy buyers to increase their bottom lines?
I agree, but a surprising number of people seem to think that repeal is impossible. I’ve gotten nothing but flak from expressing my opinion.
Laura Ingraham was blabbering on Special Report tonight about how “they know they can’t get full repeal.”
We got it through both houses before, and as Senator Cruz has pointed out, if the parliamentarian rules that they can’t do it on reconciliation, Vice President Pence (as President of teh Senate) can overrule her.
An I agree BUMP!
Don’t get me started on this subject. Most of my posts would have to be ^&*%$ deleted.
