Blame, blame, blame....It's Insurance lobbists, it's Bush's fault, it's republican's, it's Europe, it's ATM's, it's anyone but demo's fault for all the inability to get what they wanted....Even the American people's fault...Demo's had a filibuster proof congress with a liberal democrat President for 2009,2010, blocked republicans from even being in the discussions making up this 2700 page monstrosity, told us that if we didn't like it we should sit down, and shut up because elections have consequences.
The first thing to remember is discussions about Obamacare started with Repub participation. The plan started out trying to accommodate the Repubs so things were discussed and agreed upon. After it was realized the Repubs were doing all they could to gut the plan and they were removed from the discussions some of the things that were previously agreed upon remained. It was not a plan drawn up solely by the Dems.
Now that it is election time, and this thing is as unpopular as the day y'all rammed it down our throats, you say that's ok, once we get you hooked on the "freebies" you'll like it. Like a drug dealer works, they say 'just try it'....Then if the person they are trying to hook turns on them and turns them in, they blame their own misfortune on the person, instead of their illegal behavior.
Support is greater than it was in the beginning. People who are getting coverage for pre-existing conditions. People with children up to age 26. As more benefits come on line people will understand the true nature of the plan and not the nonsense like death panels, etc.
People of this country see that this law is a lemon, and they don't want it, nor do they want the lie that it is either. This law designed to actually destroy 1/6 of the economy so that government has no choice but to step in and take it over in the form of single payer health care that has destroyed health systems in other countries, lowered levels of care, and bankrupted these countries that have single payer.
So making money off the ill is more important than supplying medical care? As for "destroyed health systems in other countries, lowered levels of care" every statistic shows a saving of money and an equal or greater life expectancy.
Medical care does not bankrupt countries. It's illogical. Take a family of 4 consisting of 2 parents and 2 young adults (students). Let's say each individual buys a dental plan. Compare that cost to a dental plan covering the family. The family plan will be cheaper.
Look at company medical. It's cheaper for someone to have a medical plan through an employer because of the large number of employees.
Everything is cheaper when purchased as a group. Why would a government medical plan be any different?
Now I am sure I will hear nothing but snarky little responses calling me names, throwing a slew of profane language, and asking me to 'prove' every little sentence I say here, when no article, no proof could ever satisfy because in the end it would mean that these people would have to have an open mind to consider something other than their own ideology, or be open to discussion in an honest fashion.
It isn't an ideology. Produce one chart that shows a country with government medical paying more than the US. Show one prominent politician in any country with government medical campaigning on eliminating it.
When people talk about the US having better medical when the longevity in other countries is equal to or greater than in the US what is the definition of "better"? When people talk about countries having "lowered levels of care" when the longevity in other countries is equal to or greater than in the US what is the definition of "lowered levels of care"? And when people talk about a loss of jobs due to government medical does that include the plight of the undertakers, as well? If a Harvard study is to be believed then 45,000 fewer "clients" will be available.
After over half a century (much longer for certain countries) not one country has reverted to a "pay or suffer" system. In all cases not one politician will touch that subject because it would be the last thing they talked about as a politician. The overwhelming evidence is people comprising dozens of diverse cultures all agree on government medical. Not one exception.
Government medical is a money saver and longevity is equal to or greater than in the US. If there's another reason why ObamaCare should be cancelled we're listening.
