The Affordable Care Act II - Because Mr. Obama Loves You All

Obamascare: 60% of online Obamacare defenders ‘paid to post’ hits on critics.

 

Gator is three posts away from next month's Rover payment.

Still alive and serving over 20 million people! Including 29% of the population of poor white West Virginia

Why can't people on the left look objectively at the ACA and see very clearly that it hasn't delivered on the promise to reduce costs for most people and that it should be fixed/replaced with a better set of rules?

Consider the two messages gator gives you en route to his next Rover payment: one day he is here to yell "It's still alive and 20 million are being helped!" and the next day he's he to yell "The GOP owns this mess now!"

 

People that stupid will never know self-awareness because they're simply too lazy.

With Obamacare in jeopardy, California considers going it alone with ‘single-payer’ system.

 

 

“Why wouldn’t we take this as an opportunity to create what we want in California?” Dr. Mitch Katz, head of L.A. County’s health department, said at a conference in December. He mentioned a single-payer system as a possible solution.

State Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) introduced a bill Friday that would make California the first state to adopt single-payer, also called “Medicare for all.”

 

 

 

 

Colorado had a similar measure on the state ballot last November. Most state Democrats came out against the initiative, which would have nearly doubled state spending and payroll taxes in the first full year alone. “ColoradoCare” would have depressed jobs and wages, and voters rejected it by a massive four-to-one margin.

 

California’s taxes are already about 60% higher, per capita, than Colorado’s. If California decides to go enact single payer, it’s impossible to say where the money will come from. But it’s easy to predict where the jobs will go: Away.

I think we can tap into the surplus from the bullet train account.

Too bad, bullet train is a great idea. But looks like ACA is hear to stay.

Trump - "Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated."

President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that “nobody knew that health care could be so complicated,” and again flirted with the idea that Republicans should let Obamacare “implode” so that Democrats shoulder the blame.

It was a double down on a broken system, that tried to accommodate all interests, which is impossible. The GOP will do the same thing, instead they will allow policies that cover very little to be sold so people will see ii as "cheap", and when those folks get sick they will end up broke and in bankruptcy anyway... so do you want expensive policies that actually cover stuff, or cheap policies that cover very little... in a way, 6 in one half a dozen in the other because neither option really fit the needs of most Americans

 

The only other options are cash market for services or a single payor risk pool.... out won't go anywhere so we get swinging back and worth of the ACA or the alternative but very much the same GOP plan.

7 Myths About Obamacare, Debunked

As the Republicans are getting ready to repeal and replace Obamacare, the Obamacare apologists are naturally spreading myths about the failed healthcare law to try and intimidate Republicans from repealing it. Here are seven myths about Obamacare and why each of them is false.

 

 

1. 20 million people will have the rug pulled out from under them if Obamacare is repealed. This is the most common refrain from Obamacare's apologists, as they howl about how these 20 million are going to lose health care as a result of Obamacare's repeal. But as Betsy McCaughey has pointed out in The Hill, the vast majority of these 20 million people are enrolled through Medicaid

{snip} Fuller text after each point................ at the link

2. Obamacare has saved lives.

3. If Obamacare is repealed, people with pre-existing conditions won't have access to health care.

4. Red states that have been able to reject various aspects of Obamacare are responsible for higher premium increases

5. Obamacare was necessary in order to get rid of "junk" insurance plans.

6. The Obamacare "death spiral" is not backed up by evidence.

7. Repealing Obamacare will result in higher premiums.

Every other industrialized country has a system that has cradle to grave HC at typically half the cost - for every citizen.

 

Nice cut and paste but why do you settle for anything less?

Please break down for us all of these industrialized countries that provide cradle-to-grave health care for 300,000,000 people at half the cost of the US.

 

We'll wait.

But they actually do provide the health care cheaper. We can too, except for greed of certain corporations and the hate of certain voters

Which lie he told are you taking as truth (because you are a stupid idiot) and making a silly point about?
