Discussion: The Toughest Debate Questions The GOP Should Answer On Obamacare

If it’s not, it should be.

My, aren’t there a lot of socks in here today! Guess they slept late and missed their respective Memorial Day parades.

Sorry, but I don’t think the GOP will be pinned down on this. Here are the answers they will so glibly give. And their supporters will eat it up.

Q1. “There really aren’t ‘millions’ of people signed up for ‘Obamacare’. It’s obvious the Administration has cooked the books. The few people that actually signed up for ‘government-run’ health care and repealing Obamacare won’t affect all that many people.”

Q2. “Sure, covering the uninsured would be great but we just can’t afford it.”

Q3. “We have a plan that will allow people to keep their insurance if they want to, unlike the President’s plan. The market will adjust to accommodate everyone who can afford health care insurance. That’s the beauty of free markets.”

Socks and their Troll-Daddies have no patriotism or sense of honor. All are too narcissistic and egocentric to believe that anyone has actually done something for this country.

They are unable or unwilling to make a contribution due to their strong underlying sense of impotency and inadequacy.

Sorry but this article continues to miss the point of why Democrats are having trouble. The only thing Democrats should be worry/caring/practicing is how to dismantle the canned/plastic generic questions Republicans will reply to in a debate when asked this.

If we’re not prepared for that they will just answer some gibberish about "patient centered blah blah blah"or they will insist they will keep the good (read: popular) parts and only repeal the unpopular ones.

Remember debates are not intellectual exercises. Democrats need to be prepared to take their answers and expose the GOP’s fraud, hypocrisy, and lack of an alternative to viewing public.

While it is tempting to agree with our troll that we should deny health insurance to the immoral people who choose to vote against environmental regulations and safety standards, a choice that increases healthcare costs for treatment of disease and injury, I don’t believe that access to healthcare should be used for reward and punishment.

The Teapublicans bet the farm on their campaign of anti-Obamacare lies, and now they are up &%$* creek without any viable meme with which to paddle. The entire GOP is comprised of corporate lackey ass-clowns, but it turned out that the ACA was good for business! The Republican Party is so screwed on Obamacare, and I couldn’t be happier.

It’s amazing that Medicare was also demonized by the fascist reichwing, and was also initially unpopular.

Try to repeal it now, fuckface. I dare you.

No shit. Look at Aetna or Wellpoint’s stock charts over the past 5 years.

Hint: It would have been wise to invest in them.

Very wise.

That person’s name is Jonathon Gruber, who’s called Obamacare and Romneycare, and I quote, “the same fucking bill.”

Especially when you’re marketing to dumb-asses who have voted against their own best interests for nearly 40 years.

And the heck has the site become so unbelievably slow? I thought it might be my computer or provider, but I don’t have nearly the problem with other sites. It is also a drag not being able to see comments in their proper place beneath the person to whom I am addressing my remarks. I am very disappointed in this new system.

No Republican will offer specifics beyond “I believe the market will provide better solutions to the problem of uninsured than any unelected government bureaucracy!”

No word on what those solutions look like, or the solutions be described as cheap, accessible, and abundant, and spring forth from the head of Zeus/The Market in a manner unlike the rest of recorded history.

“The Toughest Questions The GOP Now Faces On O-Care.”

  1. Why did we make ourselves look like temperamental kindergarten students by trying 50+ times to repeal a law whose repeal was sure to be vetoed?
  2. How in the heck are we going to steal the benefits back from people who are discovering that they are better off with the ACA than without it?
  3. When is the Grumpy Old Party going to learn that the people are nowhere near as stupid as the GOP would like to think that they are?

…did they approve of Obamacare’s goal of insuring the uninsured?"

EDIT!!

Did they approve of the HERITAGE FOUNDATION’S goal of insuring the uninsured?

See how better that sounds?

So, you got nothin’ but misrepresentation and lies.

Thanks for playing though!
