Romney says he likes some parts of Obamacare

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Mitt Romney has vowed to repeal and replace the new health care law, but that doesn’t mean he hates all of it.

In an interview aired Sunday on NBC's“Meet the Press,” the Republican presidential nominee said his replacement health care plan would include a way for people with pre-existing conditions to get insurance, and also allow children to be covered “up to whatever age they might like.”

Real free market solutions!

I think, as a child, that I'd like to be covered up to around 80. That should give me enough time to really get my feet in the door.

...and exchanges...and tax subsidies...and...

 

[ScienceRocks]

Fuck,

Romney invented it in Massholeshotiss.

Romney didn't say whatever age the children might like, but the families might like. Let adult children decide what their parents should do for them and we'd have a federal law that parents are obligated to replace the X-Box as soon as a new model comes out.

"Adult-children" he says.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Romney's the father of Obongocare. He isn't going to repeal something he said, he wanted to go national half a decade ago.

"Adult-children" he says.

theres plenty of them around here.

Socially there isn't a dimes difference between Obama and Romney. Only on some economic and energy issues. That's what we're voting for.

We're voting on the economic plan. This is a economic election.

And this makes it clear that Romney is not a free market capitalist as he would have us all believe, but a Keynesian central planner just like Obama.

 

[GoneBezerk]

Yeah dumbfuck, that's why he made millions in the free market as a capitalist.

Oh, but you being a nobody say no because you are insane.

Not all parts of Obamacare are evil, some things could work if taken out on their own and not part of the master plan to implode the healthcare system.

Like say finding ways to insure people with pre-existing conditions. We aren't caveman like you believing it is survival of the strong when it comes to medical coverage.

Even Ron Paul probably believes in helping people get insurance to cover their basic needs......eh, kook.

Is that not specifically the piece of Obamacare you folks believe will "implode the healthcare system"?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Is there a person here who is in any way surprised that Romney would flop on this?

 

[Mad Scientist]

Don't ya' see? He's setting us up for not repealing ObamaCare after he's elected.

So what's the 'free market' way to insure people with pre-existing conditions?

 

[ScienceRocks]

He'll advance liberalism further than any president ever did. The republicans won't form a solid wall against him like Obama.

Now we've got conservatives comparing the free market to cavemen and Darwin's "survival of the fittest" nonsense. And here I thought those were exclusively Democratic talking points.

Yes, Mitt Romney worked in the private sector, but that doesn't make him a supporter of free markets anymore than it made the CEO of GM or Goldman Sachs when they took federal money as a bailout. There are plenty of private sector people who want to use the government to not have to compete in the free market. It's a bit naive to think otherwise.

You say there are good things in Obamacare, well that's interesting. If, as Romney wants, we continue to force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions you make it so that nobody is incentivized to buy insurance until they're sick. That's the reason that both Romneycare and Obamacare have a mandate that says everyone has to buy insurance, and a fine for those who don't. Interesting that you, as a conservative, seem to be in favor of this all of a sudden.

I think I predicted that a very long time ago, or,

maybe I think I wish I would have.

Eureka. You almost made sense there.

 

[LoneLaugher]

The idea that Romney would move to repeal Obamacare on day one is something only people of limited capacity could believe. The fucking thing is based on his signature legislation. How dumb are you?

So what's the 'free market' way to insure people with pre-existing conditions?

That would be to let the insurance companies to set prices at the market level. . That doesn't seem really good when it comes to being poor, but still, we're a capitalist country. No one said it's perfect. Just like democracy isn't.


We must stay with what works and has worked for thousands of years.
