Boehner admits Obamacare should be fixed, not replaced.

[The Derp]

/---- And yet they come from around the world for our inferior healthcare. Imagine that.

No...only the wealthy do that. And say, when they do come here to get health care, are they enrolling in Blue Cross or Aetna? Or are they paying cash?

 

[Rambunctious]

Boehner is and always has been a liberal. He ran cover for Obama and the dems for years. That is why he is gone and that is why we don't give a rats ass what he thinks.

 

[Zander]

/---- Obozocare was designed to fail so Dems could usher in single payer. Trouble is it failed too soon and Hildabeast lost.

How did Obamacare fail? 24 million people have insurance now who didn't have it before. The failure is the Conservatives' who took seven fucking years to come up with the shitty AHCA.

24 million?

That is not even close to the real number of newly insured. The highest number that breathless Obamacare lovers (AKA Gullible water carriers) use is around 20 million. But that too is a fake number.

The reality is that when you look at the actual net gains over the past two years since the program was fully implemented, the number is 14 million, and of that, 11.8 million (84 percent) were people given the “gift” of Medicaid.​

Why Obamacare's ‘20 Million’ Number Is Fake

Yep. I never expected anything from the Republicans other than tweaking ACA to better benefit the insurance industry. As the Democrats have been so proud to point out, ACA was Republican style legislation - ie a corporate feeding trough. Don't expect the Republicans to radically alter it. And they certainly won't repeal it outright.

Right, because they have no alternative plan. Because no alternative exists aside from returning to pre-existing conditions and rescission, or going full single payer. That's why in the seven fucking years Conservatives had to come up with an ACA replacement, they have nothing. Obamacare did exactly what it was supposed to do; show how pointless and costly for-profit insurance is. If there was a Public Option in Obamacare, we would have come to this revelation much sooner. But this country is so determined to do things the hard way, and thus here we are.

Republicans haven't come up with an alternative because they don't want one. They want more power for Congress, just like Democrats, and ACA delivers.

Yf course there is.

No, there really isn't. If there was, surely Conservatives would have come up with something in the last 7 years they were vowing to repeal the law. Unless you're now saying that they were full of shit that entire time. In which case, why even listen to them today? Why take anything they say seriously? 7 years of promising to repeal Obamacare, but no replacement plan to speak of? That's just irresponsible.

It sure is. But their failure has nothing to do with what is possible. They simply failed to do it.

I've mostly been trying to wake people up to the corporatism inherent in ACA. But you persist with your premise that I'm a Republican. I've told you, that's not the case.

As long as there exists a profit motive tied to health insurance, you will never be able to get rid of corporatism in health insurance. That is why I advocate for single payer, Medicare-for-all. There is nothing that privatizing the administration of reimbursements does to improve or enhance your care. Not one thing. All it does is restrict your access to health care and protect profits of drug companies at your expense. It's a complete rip-off.

To clarify, by "corporatism", I'm referring the mode of government, not common graft: Corporatism - Wikipedia

Essentially, it's a kind of government that dispenses with the protection of individual rights, preferring to distribute power in society by catering to special interest groups. Single-payer would encourage more corporatism, not less, by inviting every lobbying group under the sun to line up on K street for line-item changes to health policy.

Bingo, you nailed it. Big Government loving power hungry pukes come from both sides of the isle. Like John McCain.

/---- Paying cash because it beats the long waiting lines back home with rationed care. Why are you so obtuse?

Single-payer collides with reality

/---- Oh so no Mexican women cross the border to have their babies in the US? They get two benefits, the best natal care in the world and their bambino is an automatic US citizen. Just the rich folks doing it. Right Spanky?

America. THE most incarcerated and surveilled population in the history of empire, with the shittiest, most expensive and inefficient healthcare system on the planet amongst advanced post industrial nations. We choose to occupy the planet to further the interests of Wall Street and the "job creator" class instead.

Don't forget about our terrible education system and our world leading credit card fraud rates.

Seriously can Americans be any more retarded than they already are? We just sit back and let the rest of the world become more modern than we are.

Boehner: Trump's presidency so far is mostly 'a complete disaster'

But the Repubs are power hungry and will screw the country, rather than admit the ACA will work well if amended.

Amended how?

Social Secuity was not at first. The GOP would rather see psople die than fix a better plan. Putin's boy, Comrade Benedict Donald is sabotaging it.

Boehner Stepped down because he could see the direction his party was headed. He didn't want to be part of it.
