Your statement has very little substance.
 
7) More than 1/2 million labor union members have recieved Obamacare waiver.

8) Private employers with just under 70,000 employees were granted waivers.

9) Nearly 20 percent of last May’s waivers went to businesses in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s district.

10) For the most part, labor unions wholeheartedly supported Obamacare, a law from which nearly a half million of their workers are now exempt...

These are all the same point. Namely that time-limited waivers from a single provision of the law--the one phasing out annual limits in insurance policies--have been granted to some health plans to minimize disruption due to the transition.

Yet despite its potential for disruption among a small percentage of health plans (i.e. those applying for and receiving temporary waivers), the end of annual limits on health insurance policies is popular and bipartisan. It isn't going away. For instance, see the GOP's health policy agenda:

Repeal and Replace the Job-Destroying Health Care Law - A Pledge to America - GOP.gov
We will make it illegal for an insurance company to deny coverage to someone with prior coverage on the basis of a pre-existing condition, eliminate annual and lifetime spending caps, and prevent insurers from dropping your coverage just because you get sick.

So get used to it.
 
The Best:


Improved Medicare Single Payer Insurance for All is one substantial part of the solution.

- Easy to Implement: Medicare has been in existence since 1966, it provides
healthcare to those 65 and older, and satisfaction levels are high. The
structure is already in place and can be easily expanded to cover everyone.

- Simple: One entity – established by the government – would handle billing
and payment at a cost significantly lower than private insurance companies.
Private insurance companies spend about 31% of every healthcare dollar on
administration. Medicare now spends about 3%.

- Real Choice: An expanded and improved Medicare for All would provide
personal choice of doctors and other healthcare providers. While financing
would be public, providers would remain private. As with Medicare, you choose
your doctor, your hospital, and other healthcare providers.

- State and Local Tax Relief: Medicare for All would assume the costs of
healthcare delivery, thus relieving the states and local governments of the
cost of healthcare, including Medicaid, and as a result reduce State and
local tax burdens.

- Expanded coverage: Would cover all medically necessary healthcare
services – no more rationing by private insurance companies. There would be
no limits on coverage, no co-pays or deductibles, and services would include
not only primary and specialized care but also prescription drugs, dental,
vision, mental health services, and long-term care.

- Everyone In, Nobody Out: Everyone would be eligible and covered. No
longer would doctors ask what insurance you have before they treat you.

- No More Overpriced Private Health Insurance: Medicare for All would
eliminate the need for private health insurance companies who put profit
before healthcare, unfairly limit choice, restrict who gets coverage, and
force people into bankruptcy.

- Lower Costs: Most people will pay significantly less for healthcare.
Savings will be achieved in reduced administrative costs and in negotiated
prices for prescription drugs.

For once could you make your point without intentional misinformation. The bogus admin costs has been debunked. Get up to speed.
 
1) Tax dollars will not be used to fund abortions unless there are cases of rape, incest, and the endangerment of the mother's life.

2) Health insurance reform lowers costs for American businesses - especially small businesses - who are struggling to remain profitable and competitive under the status quo. The independent Congressional Budget Office confirmed that the bill would lower health insurance premiums for the same insurance plan by up to 4 percent for small businesses and 3 percent for large businesses, and estimates indicate that reform could save businesses $2,000 per person in health costs.

3) The Congressional Budget Office found that health insurance reform will reduce the deficit by $210 billion in this decade and by more than $1 trillion over the following 10 years. And a family of four would save as much as $2,300 on their premiums in 2014 compared to what they would have paid without reform.

4) There is no government-sponsored, public, or "single payer" plan in the law.

5) Independent analyses conducted by the RAND Corporation, Urban Institute, the Congressional Budget Office and Mercer, have found that employers will continue to offer health coverage to their workers. Economists agree that employers offer health insurance to help attract and retain the most talented employees and employers will continue to seek out top talent. Further, when health reform was enacted in Massachusetts more than five years ago, the percent of businesses offering insurance in Massachusetts increased.

6) By 2016, 30 million new people will have health care.



Now I realize the bill isn't perfect
, so if someone can find some INDEPENDENT research that discusses the cons of this bill, I'm open to a discussion.

Now that's an understatement.. and obummer has given out 15000 exemptions and that makes the rest of us pay MORE.. what a huge rip off.
 
Your statement has very little substance.

Your brain has very little substance. :eusa_whistle:

Why can't you answer an obvious good question, hmmmm?


??? There was no good question. "Good" questions do not involve trite metaphors like "running for the hills" - they involve only literal substance. You are severely confused.

I think it's more that your brain just has very little substance.
You need to work on your deflections.
