GOP winning formula: CHEAT!

Shaken, not stirred!
Since its inception, the Affordable Care Act has been in the crosshairs of the GOP at the behest of their insurance lobby masters.
They couldn't do it by legal vote in Congress, and individual Red States do their damnedest to block or reduce it's effectiveness. Here's the latest attempt that was thwarted by the President (one of the few wholly positive thing he's done so far, IMHO)

Biden suspends Gov. Kemp’s attempt to block ACA site from hundreds of thousands of Georgia residents

A plan by Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to block residents from gaining access to health insurance via the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace has been suspended by a very sensible President Joe Biden.

Kemp obviously doesn’t care about the 700,000 Georgians who signed up for coverage through the marketplace.

Almost all the Republicans admit there is no way to get a consistent majority of Americans to support them.

Insurance companies are leaving the health insurance market.

The ACA is one of the reasons.

You do not think people in Georgia would need medical care like a normal state? Why only ACA and Medicaid? Why not Medicare?

Why aren't Republicans arguing that old people in Georgia should not get medical care like in a normal state? If "molding" access to medical care to "needs of the state" is so important, wouldn't it also be important for old people too?

But to answer PMS's question. I do not think access to medical care should be "molded" to the "needs of the state", but rather molded to the needs of the patient. If the state of Georgia needs there to be fewer old people, that should be the state's problem, not the old people's problem.
 
the ACA, especially the whole fiasco of 'penalty/tax' crap, is wholly unconstitutional. so was kemps attempt to block the site.

Biden got one thing right, finally.

You need to stop "wondering" and learn to READ CAREFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY. Here's what you didn't read or refuse to recognize:


In September 2020, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities wrote that Kemp’s 1332 waiver proposal could “force consumers to navigate the type of fragmented insurance system of brokers and insurers the ACA was intended to remedy” and would end up “decreasing enrollment, raising premiums, and leading more Georgians to enroll in substandard plans instead of comprehensive coverage.”

On April 29, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) sent a 26-page letter to Grant Thomas, director of the Office of Health Strategy and Coordination, suspending the 1332 waiver and giving the state until July 28, 2022, to send a “corrective action plan” in “compliance with the statutory guardrails,” ensuring Georgians “that the waiver will provide coverage to a comparable number of residents, that the coverage will be at least as comprehensive and affordable as coverage provided without the waiver, and that the waiver will not increase the federal deficit.”

Kemp has long advocated for private insurance as a better alternative for Georgians. But who can trust a lawmaker who would also propose that in order for residents to receive Medicaid coverage, a low-income adult would need to prove they worked 80 hours a month, were enrolled in an education program or were a volunteer for a qualifying organization?

This has been the MAJOR problem with the GOP and its flunkies argument....THEY DON'T HAVE A DECENT, REALITY BASED ALTERNATIVE THAT WORKS. Instead, it's the SOS from the insurance companies.

God damn, WTF is the matter with folk like you? The Shrub lets Big Pharma write the laws that essentially let them go price crazy, and now the GOP is trying to put the nail in the coffin by letting insurance companies dictate when and how you can get decent medical care, let alone AFFORD the medicine you need.

This isn't a "lib'rul" thing or a necon/teabagger/MAGA thing....its an AMERICAN PEOPLE THING! Healthy people make better employees, don't cha know.

You didn't answer his question, so I seriously doubt if you "get" anything. You do know that even with medical insurance from private or gov't entities, there are STILL medical needs and procedures that are NOT covered, right? If not, then you need to get out more and talk to people outside of your circle jerk....and read multiple news sources to get a decent conclusion, because NewsMax and the Murdoch media ain't cutting it.

This is the 2nd time you purposely ignore the FACTS presented in favor of the empty rhetoric presented by the medical insurance/big pharma lobby flunkies. The article points out that Kemp's proposal doesn't work...seems the right wing's answer to everything is a form of indentured servitude for services. Well, working class and working middle class folk can't afford the insurance they need in many cases...a situation that has existed for years, resulting in the passing of the ACA.
I'll never forget when the governor of Kentucky....McConnell's state, was the first to sign up and went on record saying his state "couldn't afford NOT to sign up for the ACA".

So much for the GOP representing the people. Hysterical thing is you clods keep forgetting that one has to BE EMPLOYED to receive the ACA. So much for your oft parroted whine that YOU are paying for someone else's health insurance.


The anti-ACA folk have NOT come up with viable alternatives in the last few years...instead, they just offer variations of the SOS that has NOT worked out for a vast section of the working American public. Instead, jokers like you just pretend POS like "pharma bro" don't exist.

Clearly, you want to remain willfully ignorant and avoid point for point discussion .... being a right wing troll spouting talking points and insults doesn't cut it.

Well, most people would want their healthcare customized for themselves, not for their whole state.

Which brings us to the question, why is the state the perfect unit of rights? Why would it trump human rights as the most important unit? Why would it be more important than county or federal governments? It is not even a standard unit, they range in size from 576,000 to 40 million, so even if one of those were the perfect size the other would be grossly missized.

The whole states rights movement is bizarre to me. Why should these governments have so many rights?
