B-Man Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 OBAMA: “We’re not going back” ...............to that horrible time when 87% of Americans were happy with their health insurance. NATIONAL JOURNAL: ObamaCare’s Credibility Problem. CORRECTING THE NARRATIVE: Yes Obama, Republicans have offered Obamacare alternatives. .
keepthefaith Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 does he use or need medical treatment often? Is he single w/o dependents? I don't want to put any more information here on the individual but I think that after he looks at all the numbers he has now, he's going to conclude that the subsidized plan DOES NOT save him any money when he considers all of his expected expenses and it will leave him more exposed to a large expense if there is a serious illness or injury.
Tiberius Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 CORRECTING THE NARRATIVE: Yes Obama, Republicans have offered Obamacare alternatives. . The Patients' Choice Act, introduced on May 20, 2009, in the House by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and in the Senate by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. They claim the bill would: – emphasize prevention – create a health care market through state-based exchanges – make affordable premiums – provide penalties for insurance companies that don’t accept patients with pre-existing conditions Sounds a lot like Obamacare!
B-Man Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Sounds a lot like Obamacare! No, you again demonstrate your lack of basic knowledge. I would also like to add that you are also consistently misunderstanding my posts and thats why I choose to ignore you 99% of the time. Once in a while I will respond with derision to one of your more egregious posts, but I will never engage in one of the back and forth beatdowns that many here on the board seem to enjoy giving you. lol...........every time that they ask you "why do you think that?" or "provide proof" to this, I laugh because its the very definition of a "fools errand" So, to put it simply (for you) I will not be responding to you routinely for two reasons ; because (as your posts demonstrate) you do not appear to have the intelligence to discuss anything with me, or if you are just another troll (as some surmise) your posts demonstrate that you do not have the wit or originality to discuss anything with me. .
boyst Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Sounds a lot like Obamacare! are you afraid to address a man, boy?
IDBillzFan Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 You know who Obama needs to make Obamacare work? The same people who now have completely turned on him. Majority of youngest voters would recall Obama. There is hope...and not the Obama kind that sounds pretty, but actual hope.
Tiberius Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 No, you again demonstrate your lack of basic knowledge. . Yes, it's basically the same friggin plan with several small changes. That's all are you afraid to address a man, boy? STFU idiot
boyst Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Yes, it's basically the same friggin plan with several small changes. That's all STFU idiot and then
TakeYouToTasker Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Yes, it's basically the same friggin plan with several small changes. That's all So you've read both the ACA in it's entirety, as well as the proposed legislation? Line by line, can you speak to the similarities and differences?
B-Man Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 So you've read both the ACA in it's entirety, as well as the proposed legislation? Line by line, can you speak to the similarities and differences? LOL................ .
Tiberius Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 So you've read both the ACA in it's entirety, as well as the proposed legislation? Line by line, can you speak to the similarities and differences? Ummm....if the GOP proposal is so different you could easily tell us how, right?
DC Tom Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Read more: http://www.politico....l#ixzz2mWduYz8Q Boom! How can that in any way be considered praise?
TakeYouToTasker Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Ummm....if the GOP proposal is so different you could easily tell us how, right? You claimed they are the essentially the same, with very few differences, which is a possitive assertion. I've made no assertions what so ever, bowing to what is clearly your superior knowledge and understanding, simply asking you to back this assertion by demonstrating the similarities and differences, which you obviously must have readily available, as you made the claim; such that I can follow suit, echoing your own argument. You wouldn't have made such a claim without actually knowing what the similarities and differences are, would you? Edited December 4, 2013 by TakeYouToTasker
keepthefaith Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Ummm....if the GOP proposal is so different you could easily tell us how, right? You could be respected around here if you could ever offer any decent support to any statement or argument that you make. Facts or drawing from your own expertise or experience would be a really good start. Giving you the benefit of substantial doubt here. Edited December 4, 2013 by keepthefaith

Tiberius Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I can't believe you guys now support all this stuff from Paul Ryan's plan! Integrating low‐income families with dependent children into higher‐quality private plans through directassistance • Removing the stigma of Medicaid and providing access to the same coverage options available to all Americans • Realigning responsibility between federal and state governments in order to better coordinate benefits by requiring the Medicare program to assume Medicaid responsibility of premiums, cost‐sharing, and deductibles for low‐income seniors • Rebalancing long‐term care services to ensure choice between institutionalized and home‐based care • Empowering Medicare beneficiaries with more choices and more power by reforming Medicare Advantage • Requiring wealthy Medicare beneficiaries to contribute a little more for their care under Medicare Part D And that last one, taxing the wealthy more!
TakeYouToTasker Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I can't believe you guys now support all this stuff from Paul Ryan's plan! And that last one, taxing the wealthy more! I'm wondering where you read that anyone supported Paul Ryan's plan? I've simply asked you to explain the similarities and differences in the legislation, line by line.
keepthefaith Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I can't believe you guys now support all this stuff from Paul Ryan's plan! And that last one, taxing the wealthy more! Frankly Medicare rates for all working Americans (not employers) should rise. The amount people pay into the system should be more similar to what it actually costs to care for old people. The best way for people to be more in tune with what any government program costs is to make sure that those that benefit are footing the bill.
B-Large Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Sounds a lot like Obamacare! the plans, whether it be the ACA, the AEI's Best of Both Worlds and Ryan's Pateints Choice Act are essentially built on the same platforms.. small differences in verbage, but they are essentially all the same plan. Guaranteed Insurance Coverage bought on State Exhanges from Private Insurance Companies. If the AEI bill was law, I'd be happy. If the PCA was passed into law, I'd be happy. The ACA is in place, I'm happy. If we had a single payor in place, I's be more happy. But a dog and pony show extravaganza about how "different" they are, I will not be watching.

The best way for people to be more in tune with what any government program costs is to make sure that those that benefit are footing the bill. is the same principle as Americans how getting $1.00 of Governemnt for $.60. When you are not writing the check, paying the bill, it doesn't seem all that expensive. What were going to see here in America is citizens getting a good look at the true cost of our HC system. Its expensive, it usually has the best drugs and machines, and the best MD's. Its expensive, we are going to see it, and if Americans want care, they will have to budget more of their money to get it. It might be what finally does us in, sadly.
Tiberius Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I'm wondering where you read that anyone supported Paul Ryan's plan? I've simply asked you to explain the similarities and differences in the legislation, line by line. Exactly! Republicans like you don't want to do anything. But the B poster said the GOP had ideas and Ryan's is one And please tell me you are not stupid enough to consider going through giant plans line by line is something anyone would actually do here? Wait, no, I believe you are that stupid the plans, whether it be the ACA, the AEI's Best of Both Worlds and Ryan's Pateints Choice Act are essentially built on the same platforms.. small differences in verbage, but they are essentially all the same plan.

Exactly, which makes this all political. All these Conservative trolls just hate the plan because Obama did it. Don't see any of them complaining about Bush's Prescription Drug plan
