Healthcare bill

[Getin the ring]

If you knew anything about ACA, you'd realize how stupid this post is. Fact...Republicans NEED to repeal ACA, in order to do away with a 3.8.% cap gains tax on those who earn over $200k/year via capital gains.

Now tell us who earns more than $200k/year via cap gains?

well it's obvious you know nothing of either plan.

To even suggest that leaving Obamacare as is will work speaks volumes of your education on the subject

Wrong. ACA was NOT created in a vacuum. In exchange for being forced to cover numerous preventive procedures, pre existing conditions, and kids under 27, the govt. promised insurers cost sharing money, as well as risk corridor money.


After a successful Supreme Court challenge to the funding, House Republicans defunded those programs in an effort to destroy ACA. Insurers are dropping out of exchanges because they are owed millions of dollars from the Feds.


Republicans destroyed a well thought out law, and now try to point fingers.

At least keep your facts straight as you spew your nonsense here.

now, trying to blame Obamacares fail on republicans is exactly why your party is nearly non-existent, and will further fade.

Smoke and mirrors are over lefty, you have been exposed, no more moral high ground trumps everything

Yea....sure. trump is talking about putting all kinds of money into cost sharing programs.

That's the exact program Republicans de funded. Why not just put the money back in, and leave everything else?


Cause it's got that colored fella's name all over it. That's why.

The truly poor qualify for Medicaid. It's those on the bubble who have problems, but their free hospital care jack everyone's insurance rates up. Complex issue.

Not really.

Absent the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, if you aren't a poor pregnant woman, a poor parent of a child or a child of a poor parent/parents (IOW, if you're a childless adult), you don't qualify for Medicaid even if you're homeless.

If you're an elderly or disabled person who needs to be in a nursing home, with income below $2,000 a month and less than $2,000 in countable assets you can also qualify.

But very few people no matter how poor they are, qualify for Medicaid.

It is a very stingy program.

Repugnants sabotaged Obamacare for blatantly partisan political purposes.

They care about political power more than they care about the working people of this country.

By such a long shot it's not even a contest.

obama has a pattern. He does stuff that look good on his term and then blow up down the road. Obama delayed most of the harshest taxes that was supposed to pay for obamacare till after his term was over.

You mean like the Repugnants new "health no-care" bill puts off the harshest cuts until 2023?

Like that?

13 brand new non profit insurance companies with amazing rates, went under when Republicans defunded risk corridors.

Any talk of 'blowing up' starts with that sentence.

Unless of course, you really haven't been paying attention these last few years.

Actually, I've called for a repeal of EMTALA instead of a mandate. That way, people would be more apt to purchase insurance if they know they cannot receive free care at a hospital.

Raygun's EMTALA opened the door to what we now recognize as gross abuse of our hospitals.

That is a good point.

It was thrown together on a whim by people not qualified to do so.

And now you see the results.

And the dumb sheep are too stupid to see it. Willfully ignorant.
