Only 37% Support ACA Repeal and Replace

[IResist]

Fix Obamacare or go the route of single payer. Do not repeal and do not go back to pre-2009.

HOW dumb are YOU?
A) Want to bankrupt 1,400 companies? Throw 450,000 people out of work? Eliminate over $100 Billion a year in taxes?
B) For what purpose single payer? When there are less then 3 million that truly need health insurance?
C) Why are you protecting lawyers who have caused doctors to practice "Defensive Medicine.. (See this study where 90% claim they order $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, referrals all out of FEAR of being SUED!
--- Emergency medicine, primary care, and OB/GYN physicians are most likely to practice defensive medicine.
--- 79 to 83% of surgeons and OB/GYNs have been named in lawsuits.
http://www.jacksonhealthcare.com/media/8968/defensivemedicine_ebook_final.pdf
D) And you idiots that believed Obama's total lIE ""Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition,"
In reality LESS THEN 1.5 million Americans who were denied health insurance or paid higher premiums due to pre-existing conditions.
Obama's Pre-existing Conditions Whopper

FACTS instead of guesses! FACTS instead of LIES!
Why are people like you so frigging dumb to believe the MSM and its gross absolutely GROSS misrepresentation of reality!

Nonsense, your health insurance premiums do not increase when you get sick. Insurance companies raise rates to meet rising overall costs, and the government raises taxes to meet rising overall costs. During the Obamacare debates, polls showed 80% of Americans were satisfied with their private health insurance and problems existed primarily for those with pre existing conditions and for poor people not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. The problems for these two groups could have been dealt with separately without interfering with the health insurance for the 80% of Americans who were well satisfied with their private health insurance.

This new amendment to Trumpcare guts protection for preexisting conditions. Under Obamacare, people can't be dropped for that. They wouldn't have to risk bankruptcy for treatment. I guarantee you Obamacare is more popular now and if Trumpcare is passed, people will long for Obamacare, not to mention rates will still rise.

 

[g5000]

ObamaCare was a bait-and-switch con.

First, Obama swore he would not sign a law that added so much as one dime to the federal debt.

Second, ObamaCare was supposed to REDUCE health care costs. That is the one and only fricking goal which matters.

You can celebrate all the new Medicaid enrollees all you like, but your joy will be short lived when the bill comes in the mail.

As President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gear up for another attempt at repealing and replacing Obamacare, an ABC News/Washington Post poll finds broad public preference for keeping and improving it — including high levels of support for some of its key components.

Just 37 percent of Americans in the national survey say the Affordable Care Act should be repealed and replaced; 61 percent say it should be kept and fixed instead. Even more broadly, the public, by 79 to 13 percent, says Trump should seek to make the current law work as well as possible, not to make it fail as soon as possible, a strategy he has suggested.

Only 37 percent say Trump should repeal and replace Obamacare: Poll

If you recall, the majority of Americans opposed Obamacare's passage, the lesson here is that voters have a lot of anxiety about any changes to their health coverage.

This is a poll taken in November.

The ACA has gotten even more popular since then.

In March 2010, when the bill passed, 59% opposed it.

New CNN Poll: 59% Oppose Obamacare

Ancient history is interesting?

Only to those of us who are capable of understanding it. Obviously, that leaves you out. You are arguing that the fact that only 39% supported Obamacare when it was passed because today, eight years later, that number has increased but that it is very significant that only 37% support repeal and replace today. By your way of thinking Obama should have listened to the 59% of Americans who opposed Obamacare when it passed and vetoed the bill.

 

[g5000]

The surveys come in and it turns out a majority of Americans now prefer the burning couch to be in the kitchen rather than the living room. However, most Americans want more. Astoundingly, they want the burning couch in the kitchen situation fixed, and fixed immediately.

Donald Trump tweets, "I think we should let the couch burn the house down. That way, the American people will blame Obama and I will look better in comparison."

This is not true. The states will receive block grants to deal with the problems of those with pre existing conditions. The essence of repeal and replace is to provide funds to the individual states to help them deal with the special needs of some groups like those with pre existing conditions.

Depends on the "pre-existing condition"... smoking is for sure one!
BUT see jumping to conclusions about "pre-existing conditions with out any further research is useless!
FACT: PRIOR to Obamacare:
At any given time, the vast majority of these approximately 52 million people with declinable pre-existing conditions have coverage through an employer or through public programs like Medicaid
Pre-existing Conditions and Medical Underwriting in the Individual Insurance Market Prior to the ACA
KEY WORDS "COVERAGE through employer..."
NO WHERE NEAR 155 million as Obama lied!
But read the above link for MORE FACTS!!!

Actually it is even better when you consider that a poll asking people who they identified with shows:
According to Gallup,
28 percent of Americans identify themselves as a Republican,
while 25 percent identify as a Democrat.
BUT... Despite this information, eight more percent of participants in both the ABC and CNN polls identified as Democrats, leading to an 11 point swing in partisanship breakdown off the national average.
ABC’s poll sampled 1,005 adults across the nation.
However, partisan breakdown shows that only 23 percent of participants identified as Republican.
31 percent of participants identified as Democrats and
37 percent as independent, while nine percent did not answer.
FAKE POLLS -- Here's How CNN And ABC Have Been Fudging The Numbers To Tank Trump's Favorability
Do you understand that the Polls counted 8% MORE Democrats and in spite of that when asked in a separate poll.. 28% said GOP.. 25% Democrat!

So if Trump is doing better it is even more of an accomplishment because there are more Democrats in the polls then GOP!
Amazing!
FACTS!!!

 

[Pete7469]

Most people want it repealed.

Period.

Why "replace" a turd?

 

[busybee01]

The most recent Fox News poll had support for the Republican healthcare plan at 34% which is similar to the WP poll. Since January, Fox has had Obamacare's approval rating at 50% which gives it a higher approval rating than Trump. The final WP poll for 2016 had Clinton +3 in the popular vote which Clinton won by 2.

In March 2010, when Obamacare passed, only 39% supported it.

New CNN Poll: 59% Oppose Obamacare

At that time there was nothing to compare Obamacare to. Obamacare has partially succeeded in getting more people insured. The Republican plan will cause millions to lose their healthcare insurance. Voters agree that we should help people who cannot afford health care insurance because of their low incomes. If this passes and becomes law, Democrats and the media will have many horror stories to write about.

Insurance companies are expendable and need to do be done without. The government guaranteeing and providing healthcare to all is the best way to go. Free market healthcare has failed this country.

Of course there is no basis in fact or logic for such assertions.

It's because when people get sick or need it most, insurance companies drastically raise rates. Single payer insures everybody has healthcare, can go anywhere they want for treatment and no worries about raising premiums or deductibles. For profit healthcare should not exist.

Nonsense, your health insurance premiums do not increase when you get sick. Insurance companies raise rates to meet rising overall costs, and the government raises taxes to meet rising overall costs. During the Obamacare debates, polls showed 80% of Americans were satisfied with their private health insurance and problems existed primarily for those with pre existing conditions and for poor people not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. The problems for these two groups could have been dealt with separately without interfering with the health insurance for the 80% of Americans who were well satisfied with their private health insurance.

This new amendment to Trumpcare guts protection for preexisting conditions. Under Obamacare, people can't be dropped for that. They wouldn't have to risk bankruptcy for treatment. I guarantee you Obamacare is more popular now and if Trumpcare is passed, people will long for Obamacare, not to mention rates will still rise.

This is not true. The states will receive block grants to deal with the problems of those with pre existing conditions. The essence of repeal and replace is to provide funds to the individual states to help them deal with the special needs of some groups like those with pre existing conditions.

Will block grants pay for it or will states do the dirty work of kicking people with pre-existing conditions off of insurance? The fact is that many will lose their health insurance if it is kicked to states. It is a lot easier to bribe state legislators.

 

[brummelben]

Do not repeal and do not go back to pre-2009.

Why not?

Do you want the insurance companies to have the power to deny claims, to deny benefits, to deny coverage at their will?

 

[brummelben]

Fix Obamacare or go the route of single payer. Do not repeal and do not go back to pre-2009.

HOW dumb are YOU?
A) Want to bankrupt 1,400 companies? Throw 450,000 people out of work? Eliminate over $100 Billion a year in taxes?
B) For what purpose single payer? When there are less then 3 million that truly need health insurance?
C) Why are you protecting lawyers who have caused doctors to practice "Defensive Medicine.. (See this study where 90% claim they order $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, referrals all out of FEAR of being SUED!
--- Emergency medicine, primary care, and OB/GYN physicians are most likely to practice defensive medicine.
--- 79 to 83% of surgeons and OB/GYNs have been named in lawsuits.
http://www.jacksonhealthcare.com/media/8968/defensivemedicine_ebook_final.pdf
D) And you idiots that believed Obama's total lIE ""Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition,"

Insurance companies can write off as much as 20% of every premium dollar as "overhead". prior to the ACA they wrote off as much as 40%. Medicare operates on far far less overhead, which means its far more efficient.
