    Default Long lines at the ER

    That's what you will get if you end government run health care. People who can't afford health insurance will have to go to emergency clinics to get treated for things their primary care doctor/specialist used to handle.

    Also, all the money you saved by ending government health care will go to pay your new health insurance premium...which will be much higher.

    What does it matter if you pay for the ones who don't pay when you pay taxes...or when you pay your health insurance?

    Joe Biden said Obamacare was a big fucking deal.

    I guess he was wrong. Democrats lied, and so did Obozo.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Yep. Hospitals are not going to give out treatment for free. They will recover whatever is spent on treating the uninsured by charging health insurance companies more. Those companies will then pass along those costs to you in the form of higher premiums and higher deductibles.

    What hospitals need to do is NOT treat those that can't pay. Problem solved and the rest of us don't pay higher prices.

    You mean like Walmart workers that bash their own company because they have no skill set to earn the wage they demand they be paid?

    No one in the GOP named Obama. However, if that is your claim, what we have is the black BOY claiming credit for something that isn't his.

    They end up in the ER because they are too dumb to take care of themselves. I thought Obamacare was going to solve this? Obama lied, people died.

    Imagine if the Democratic Party of the Jackass had not passed Obamacare based on lies, distortions and false math along a straight party line vote and had REALLY tried to deal with the problem honestly!

    Placing the healthcare industry into the hands of dishonest party hacks would be the most idiotic thing America could do. Other than putting California political hacks in power.
