Rep. Rich Nugent, R-Spring Hill,FL, will be talking up flaws of the bill. But Nugent said the Republican assault punctuated by Friday's 40th repeal vote in the House is also flawed. "When you start talking about replacing something, you need to come up with ideas. That's part of the problem."
Well Mr. Nugent, HERE IS AN IDEA taken directly from the ACA!!
Tax the lawyers $200 billion a year 10% as ACA taxed tanning salons because as tanning cause cancer, lawyers cause according to the people that file the claims to Medicare and insurance companies $850 billion is totally unnecessary because of "DEFENSIVE MEDICINE" practices, i.e. physicians who order duplicate tests (and you idiots that say "yea they make money off that" READ THE STARK LAW that forbids it!) etc.
$850 billion a year physicians attest they over cautiously order in duplicate testing all because of fear of lawsuits!

Now the other evidently grossly misunderstood but frequently used figure is 46 million uninsured is the MAIN reason for ACA!
THERE NEVER WERE 46 million people who wanted insurance but couldn't get it..legally!
18 million are under 34, make over $50k refused employer insurance cause they spend less out of pocket then the premiums!

14 million people who say they are uninsured actual too lazy to register with Medicaid and they are covered!

10 million ARE NOT citizens!

That adds up to 42 million of the supposedly 46 million!
That leaves truly 4 million that want and need and many go to the hospitals and run up 'unreimbursed" bills because the hospitals
have to see them under a 1986 law that if the hospitals get Medicare they have to see the uninsured!
FINE! Solution!
Use the $20 billion in taxes from the lawyers to pay a $5,000 premium yearly for each of the truly 4 million uninsured!
Then when hospitals see these "uninsured" they means test and register the "uninsured". THEN they send the bill to insurance companies that pay the "uninsured" claims from the $20 billion premiums!!
Problem solved!
These are the simple facts and the simple solution that Nugent, et.al. is looking for and why wouldn't it work??
ACA taxing tanning salons why not lawyers??
