Should There Be An "Opt-Out" Clause With The New ACA To Make Right Winger's Happy?

Why would they need to pay up front if they have insurance? Or are you suggesting that your opt out system would make insurance companies forcibly drop everyone who doesn't opt in? You're not making much sense with your hyperbole situation.

However, even then I would only support it if I could also opt out of social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and any other government programs that are supposedly for my own good.

Those that currently have insurance are not affected by the ACA. This is for those that currently do not have insurance, and refuse to get it.

Ah, now I see where you're going with this. I think it would be up to the doctors to work out an arrangement.

Doctors are not paid to provide a public service. Just like mentioned before, if you don't have an insurance plan to pay them, you need to pay cash up front to do so.
Why should someone else's bill be paid by you that refuses to pay? That doesn't sound right, does it?
 
I think a better plan is to deny a high school dropout any government handouts. No free healthcare, no welfare, no food stamps.

That will take care of one third of the uninsured problem.

Another third of the uninsured are immigrants.

40 percent of the uninsured are people who did not work in the past year. So the obvious solution to that problem is to create jobs. It also means that the people who are uninsured today are not the same people who were uninsured yesterday.

The ACA does not bend the cost curve down, and it does not address any of the root causes of the uninsured problem.

Simple facts.
 

Yes, I do.

obamacare is a ponzi scheme..... deal with it.

Okay, then please DEFINE exactly HOW and WHY it's a Ponzi scheme.

Nobody cares. Stick to the topic or start your own thread.
 
I don't see why you right wingers are deflecting and going nuts, it's pretty simple.

If you currently have health care = you are not effected.

If you currently don't have heathcare, but you will under the ACA = you are not effected.

If you currently don't have healthcare, and feel you "need to stick it to da libs" you can opt out with the conditions in the OP.

If you currently have health care = you are not effected.

Famous last words.
 
Ever since the affordable care act was passed, the right wingers have been going into a complete rampage over having to actually grow up and get health insurance, instead of just freeloading off the rest of the hard working americans.

Now to shut them up and for them to keep their "freedom", should there be an opt-out clause? By signing an opt out wavier, this would mean an up front payment for all medical services. If they require expensive treatment, this will all be need to be paid up front (cash, no credit or loans would be applicable) and the same with a 911 call or emergency.

They would have to "carry their papers" such as a bank statement with a debit card or credit card (no checks) to cover the likely $600 ambulance ride, plus $1,000 to walk in the door of and ER. From there the care would be only administered by how much funds they have available. Run out, then you get a wheel chair ride to the curb, no matter how sick. Sound fair?
Sounds fair.


You're an idiot.

How is an arrangement that is far worse than what we have now an "opt out" clause? Why can't we just buy private insurance or get it from out employer without all the ACA horseshit? We all know it's because no one would stay in the ACA program except all the losers and deadbeats.
 
How about an opt IN. If you want obamacare....want to take advantage of it..... PAY for it.

That's the point of the ACA. The freeloaders need to stop mooching off of others and get their own healthcare insurance, and if they keep pissing about growing up as it's against their "freedom", then they can agree to the "opt out" clause as stated above.

Wrong. The point of he ACA is to give the freeloaders the right to free medical care. If it prevented freeloading, then why all the new taxes? Why should the ACA cost more than the current system if it puts an end to freeloading?

Only a liberal would ridicule freedom.

There’s no making conservatives happy, they love being miserable.

Being left alone is what makes us happy. Various flavors of Stalinism is what makes liberals happy.

Because as we all know...it's right wingers that don't have health insurance and freeload off the rest of hard working Americans! (eye-roll)

You're going to have to get your talking points straight here, Black Label! According to progressives we've been told that right wingers are all millionaires who prey on the weak and defenseless poor. They don't NEED health insurance because they have SO much money they can afford whatever health care they desire. So which is it? Freeloaders or Millionaires? Get your story straight...
 

yeah.. its called how you work a ponzi scheme...... obamacare is nothing different.



Do you know what a Ponzi scheme is?

Social Security Online - HISTORY, Ponzi Schemes vs. Social Security


Yes, it's a scheme like Social Security where the new members pay for the returns of the previous members.

Funny that the asinine chart that was posted said nothing about this whatsoever. The heart of ponzi scheme IS the fact you posted and is EXACTLY what SS does. I fail to see why this is such a hard concept to understand.

The first thing is to recognize there is NO crisis necessitating Obamacare!
There are after subtracting from the supposedly 47 million "uninsured"
- 10 million that are NOT citizens
- 14 million that ARE covered by Medicaid but told pollster they were uninsured!
- 17.5 million under age 34,make over $50,000 and pay out of pocket health costs
rather then premiums
=====
41.5 million subtracted from 47 million leaves less then 6 million that need insurance.

The 2nd thing is recognize $600 billion a year are spent according to physicians duplicating tests, specialist referrals ... all out of fear of being sued.. "defensive medicine"!

Then recognizing that a is real TAX 10% on lawyers $100 billion income would provide
a premium and hospitals would be forced to send "uninsured" claims to the insurance company that manages the "uninsured" insurance.

Then the payers - Medicare/Insurance companies/out of pocket will NOT be hit for 9,000% markups some hospitals bill Medicare!

Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. In a Ponzi scheme, the perpetrator steals the money invested and uses new members' money to pay the old ones. That is not what Social Security does.

So based on your numbers, which I will accept only for sake of this argument, how many Americans are actually subject to the mandate tax?

When will you get it through your head that the 'mandate tax' isn't the fucking problem, it's the REST of the taxes that are the problem.

That and the fact that this massive new bureaucracy doesn't do a damned thing to LOWER either medical or insurance costs, it only makes them HIGHER.

If you don't believe me, what the fuck are the 16,000 new IRS agents for, hmmm?
 
Ahh but the question has become one of is for profit healtchare pricing itself out of the market?
How much longer can we afford double digit health care annual cost increases?

Take that up with doctors, nurses, and the hospital board. Insurance is a necessary evil because health care costs so much, not the other way around.

The right way to do it, which btw isn't going to happen so this is just musing,

is to get insurance out of the healthcare business in all but catastrophic coverage.

You haven't been listening to your idiot friends on the right then since the mandate was declared a tax...

...THAT is exactly the moment this 'massive tax increase' hysteria began.

Go argue with your pals. Go tell them what I've been telling them for a week and they refuse to acknowledge is true,

that the mandate tax won't be paid by 99% of Americans.

I'm not arguing with them, because at the end of the day the worst I can say is they're arguing to do the right thing for the wrong reason. It's still the right thing.

ACA is going to be a boat anchor wrapped around the neck of America as we desperately try to swim to the shore of fiscal sanity.

And you can forget the mandate tax, tell me who's going to pay all those OTHER taxes the ACA saddles us with??
