The real reason the GOP doesn’t repeal Obamacare is that the biggest beneficiaries of it are older people (Republican voters) and the ones screwed most by are younger people (Democrat voters). It’s really that simple.
How are old people benefiting from Obamacare? They could already get Medicare.
The only people benefiting are:
1)1 those in states that get expanded FREE medicaid and that’s not even Obamacare.
2)Those with expensive preexisting conditions that insurers are forced to cover now.
100% of people paying for health care that do not have a “preexisting conditions” are not benefiting from Obamacare at all.
The real reason the GOP doesn’t repeal Obamacare is their big donors love socialized medicine. It’s that simple. Everything else is kabuki.
It’s the 50-65 age group that is the most challenging to deal with in the U.S. (both now and before ObamaCare). These are people who are often targeted for layoffs when companies are downsizing, and aren’t yet old enough to qualify for Medicare.
I have news for you. Most Americans -- even many people right here on FreeRepublic -- love socialized medicine. They may not be willing to admit it, and maybe they even truly believe that they hate socialized medicine. But a common thing in every single discussion I have had on this subject -- and in every political discussion I've read or seen on it -- is that most Americans want a health care system that has the following three characteristics:
1. It covers everyone.
2. It covers everything.
3. It doesn't cost them much money.
In other words, what most Americans want is something that doesn't exist ... which means it can only be implemented through the force of a government that has: (1) the authority to print money indefinitely, and (2) the power to kill its citizens when they need to be stripped of their delusions about what they want and what they're willing to pay for.
That is socialized medicine by definition.
