So⌠confirming that he doesnât need any more nails â

âScrew Obamacare! It doesnât pay for chin enhancement.â
Please proceed. (Iâm getting a little more confident that the Republicansâ attempt to destroy Obamacare isnât going to go that smoothly.)
Youâre right or so it looks that way with McConnell, Corker and Alexander pushing back hard. Trump may soon be wondering who his new best friends really arenât. Enter V.P. Pence. Be careful Donald.
McConnell is very shrewd. He wouldnât be saying this unless it was part of a plan he executes successfully.
Youâre likely right - so much for my little bubble of hope.
The families. Think of the families. The poor suffering families whose throats Obama rammed insurance down. We must repair them first, as the Hippocritic Oath directs us to do.
Funny, they never mention the people whose lives were saved by Obamacare or the millions of people who finally got affordable insurance because of Obamacare.
The volume of the viewable universe[1] is insufficient to contain the absolute disgust, disdain and disrespect I have for these lying, racist, duplicitous, inhuman wankers.
[1]Since the Universe has been expanding for 13.8 billion years, the comoving distance (radius) is now about 46.6 billion light years. Thus, volume (4â3Ďr^3) equals 3.58Ă10 ^80 m3 and mass of ordinary matter equals density (4.08Ă10â28 kg/m3) times volume (3.58Ă1080 m3) or 1.46Ă10^53 kg.
OK, not to be Pollyannish, but whatever the GOP enacts as a replacement will be miles better than what was in place before ACA. And itâs 1000000000% more than the GOPâd be enacting if ACA had never become law. ACA has made universal access to health insurance in some for or other, the norm. Thatâs a big shift.
Iâm not counting on it but I Iâm even open to the idea that, if the Democrats play their hand properly, and get a little bit lucky, after the dust clears, they might have something in place better than what ACA has become.
And what exactly is âthe damage thatâs been done to families and businessâ? They have yet to come up with a single convincing example of someone who has been harmed by the ACA.
Was about to suggest that he n Cornyn have two or so blue votes, but Lauren Foxâs article reminded me that those two can run a repeal through reconciliation.
Love to know which plan are they backing though.
Health Savings Accounts? For people who donât have any money to save?
Buy expensive insurance across state lines? For people who make as little as $15 or less an hour?
They really donât have anything.
Here ya go
Maybe if you are a public employee, or work for a fortune 500 company, the current system is working for you.
However, I am in the situation like many where my healthcare plan sucks, and is financially painful.
I work for a company of about 20 employees, and my premiums are $800 per month for me and my family, with a deductible of $6,000
So far this year, I am on the hook for around $13,000 in premiums, co-pays and other bills Aetna doesnât cover. Aetna has paid a grand total of $400.
At this point, Iâm more or less hoping Republicans implode the whole system, get the blame, get slaughtered at the polls, and Democrats usher in Medicare for all.
An employer based health care system is utterly ridiculous.
Worth highlighting from your article:
If we can say one thing about most Republican plans, it is this: They are better for younger, healthy people and worse for older, sicker people.
In general, conservative replacement plans offer less financial help to
those who would use a lot of insurance. This will make their insurance
subsidies significantly less expensive than Obamacareâs.
Economic analyses estimate that these plans reduce the number of Americans with insurance coverage.
The actual amount varies significantly, from 3 million to 21 million,
depending on which option Republicans pick. They will near certainly
provide more coverage than Americans had before Obamacare, but also less
than what exists currently under the health law.
âI donât think there will be a 1,500 page replacement for this 2,700 page failure, but debating individual things, reaching a consensus, reaching across the aisle for that consensus to develop,â Blunt said. Said the fckwd that first promised a Republican plan back in 2009, when he was a Rep.
So if all these guys just came out of a Republican caucus meeting why are we hearing at least three versions of what they think was said in there?
Dems should demand that McCarran-Ferguson be repealed as a result of repealing ACA. FEC takes over from the states and then they can actually investigate industry wide collusion and price fixingâŚbetween states
