What are Republican's plans to help uninsured Americans?

The republicans believe that you should go work for it and buy your own; meaning, Pay your own hosipital bills
Not true. Evidence shows that they believe in paying for the health insurance for Congress but not paying for their own.
This is an insanely stupid non-sequitur.

Health care for Congress is no different than health care in any other employee/employer relationship. Supporting this, or not supporting this, has absolutely no logical relationship to supporting or not supporting the federal government providing health care to -everyone- in the US.

And, some of them believe in lying rather than taking responsibility for their own ignorance.
Or, in your case, lying in order to make a point that could not otherwise be made.

What cracks me up is that some pubs/bags are willing to hurt themselves rather than educate themselves. They don't even have the courage to admit it when they're wrong.

Here's someone with the courage to educate herself about ObamaCare.

Breast cancer, health insurance and an apology to President Obama - latimes.com

I wonder if some here won't even have the courage to read this all the way through.

Congrats on another non-sequitur - glad to see you have a mastery of the concept and thw ability to apply it to your debate.

Note that your response does nthing to negate mine - your congress/health care claim is still a non-sequitur, and you still lied to make a point that could not otherwise be made.

Okay, especially for M14 and Conservative because they so dumb -

The closing of the "donut hole"? 80% of your premiums must go to health care. Parents can keep their kids on their policies until they're 25 (that right there is a huge savings).

Our insurance company sent us info. If you haven't gotten the same from your own ins, call them. Also, we got a premium refund - you might be eligible as well.

See it now?

No, and neither do you.

NONE of that saves YOU any money.

The closing of the donut hole doesn't save YOU anything, unless you're IN the donut hole. Since you refuse to substantiate the claim, we have to work with the understanding that you're NOT in the donut hole.

80% of your premiums going to 'health care' does not mean that your premiums went down by 20%, dimwit. It means NOTHING in regards to your personal healthcare costs. Again, you're making a claim without offering a single fact to substantiate it.

Keeping your child on your plan until they are 25 does not SAVE you money, you incredible moron, it COSTS you money. It is MORE EXPENSIVE to the consumer to have a family plan, than an individual or couple plan. The savings would not start until you DROP then when they reach 26.

How fucking stupid are you? Really? We want to know.

Keeping your kid on your health plan costs less than another health plan. Did that really have to be explained?

Zactly. That something -might- save you money in no way proves that it -did- save you money.
Same applies to all of the other statements.

Neddite knows that he cannot show that any of these things saved him a dime - but, he wanted to make a point, so, like a good liberal, he decided to lie.

Not to you, it doesn't nimrod. Once they are 18, under the previous system, it was THEIR cost, not yours. Your costs would have gone down once they were covering their own, or their employer was covering it.

Under Obamacare, your costs stay at the higher family rate until you are forced to drop them at 25, OR until they have their own.

The ability to keep them on COSTS YOU MONEY, it does not SAVE you money.
 
Are you not responsible for yourself?? Is government, someone else, or society responsible for your personal well being?? If you believe others are responsible, please cite the basis of this and why others are required to take care of you....

Now.. I am all for voluntary charity, helping those down on their 'luck' or in a bad situation... but that is voluntary giving, on the individual, do donate what they want... and since this is a free society, you have the freedom to also be a selfish prick and not help any cause... and while I may not agree, I agree they have the right to be that way...

There is health insurance that is available for purchase for most any citizen.... Can we get things better with loosening restrictions, increasing competition (thus driving down price), and make it easier by allowing more groups (neighborhood associations, Moose clubs, bowling leagues, etc) to get access to group health plans for their members to purchase, giving people more options than just what employers can or will offer.... but to have mandated government provided health care, paid for by others, to citizens who are NOT wards of the state (those who are committed and controlled by the state) is absolutely against a free society and is absolute BULLSHIT....

So take your little troll antics, slogan chanting bullshit and shove it up your ass

Are we responsible for ourselves?

For the most part, we are. We raise our families, feed, clothe and house ourselves. We make decisions on how we want to live our lives

But we are also members of a society. We are stronger as a society than as a bunch of individuals. We can accomplish more as a citizen of the United States. Some challenges are best faced as an individual while others are best faced as a member of society

National Defense is obviously best faced as a society. So is universal education, public infrastructure and public safety

It used to be that healthcare was best faced as an individual. If you got sick, you went to the doctor and could be treated for a few bucks. Then, hospitalization became more expensive and private insurance was needed. Then, private insurance became too expensive.

Most of the rest of the world has recognized that healthcare is no longer one of those things you can handle as an individual. It needs to be handled by the society as a whole so that everyone is better off

Some very good points but don't expect most pubs/bags to take responsibility for their own health insurance. That's what the rest of us are here for.

For the most part, republicans have a "I don't care" attitude towards health insurance. They just think if people can't afford it, that is their problem

And at 25, 7 years out of HS, they have ample opportunity to have a job with a health plan...

And since when do I plan on having a 'child' or 'kid' of the age of 25 (but you know they are not kids, right?) on my health plan anyway?? Unless that child is a dependent because of disability, WHICH I COULD KEEP ON MY INSURANCE ANYWAY

You are a fucking dimwit, deaner
 
$4 trillion? Perhaps you should check your facts.

It costs will over a million dollars to take care of a paraplegic from 25 to 50. Double that for a quadriplegic. 40,000 Americans were maimed in Iraq alone. We will be paying for their care for decades thanks to the Republicans. The tragic parts are first, they don't want to acknowledge the cost. Insisting that talking about it is "unpatriotic". Second, they will blame the cost on Obama.

I suspect, when you add up all the cost for the next 50 years, it will be double or triple 4 trillion. Thanks, GOP.
You need to work on your reading comprehension - perhaps when you get in from the playground you can ask your teacher for help.

Thee poster said "After spedning $4T" - as in the $4T has already been spent
You're discussing possible costs ~50 years into the future.

And so - and -so- not surprisingly - your post does nothing to substantiate the claim that $4T has been spent in Iraq.

It's possible that 4 trillion could be accurate.

We don't know how much it will cost to replace our depleted military.

We don't know how much it's cost to take care of the soldiers who have been maimed.

Our military is depleted RIGHT NOW.

The maimed exist RIGHT NOW.

Remember, Bush kept the cost of both wars out of his budget. Plus, he included an estimate of what he thought his "tax cuts" would bring into the economy and he left out the cost of the "drugs for votes" bill. and he gave money away left and right he didn't include and he was still in the hole by trillions.

All of those costs were added into the Obama budget that was voted down. Obama hasn't spent trillions, he included what Republicans left out. If Obama spent so much, what did he spend it on? He cut NASA. His health care hasn't gone into affect. The stimulus was 40 tax cuts. He cut government by 500,000 people. For so much spent, where did it go?

Too bad these Republicans can't be honest.

For the most part, republicans have a "I don't care" attitude towards health insurance. They just think if people can't afford it, that is their problem

Is your personal care and upkeep your responsibility?? YES... Is it your freedom to be able to donate to causes and help all you wish, or to be a prick miser and not ever give a red cent to any charity at all? Yes....

I can have caring about it all... but to be FORCED to take over the responsibilities of others thru a redistribution system set up by the federal government is something all together different, flat out wrong, and against the powers granted to the federal government specifically in the constitution
 
Uninusred Americans can continue to do what they have been doing. Use the emergency room. It winds up being on the taxpayer dime and up top nopw, the taxpayer was OK with it...and no one was dying becuase the ER turned them away. Why? Becuase no one is ever turned away from the ER.

What do you think?? They are all given 2 aspirin and sent home??? Lots of them are admitted and stay for weeks or months in the hospital where they received emergency services. Some of them have surgery and other expensive procedures. Who in the hell do you think pays for that???

I worked for years in the government programs division for a major health insurance company. In the medicare claims area. Do you know how expensive hospital bills can be??? Well, I have been paying taxes all of my adult life and I am not okay with paying bills for people that are not insured.

Feel free to show us the numbers to that effect.

This is not money already spent, and so irrelevant as support for the claim at hand.

Double D...we call it being an American

We Americans are the greatest society in the history of mankind. As a group we have accomplished more than any society in history. Great societies take care of their people.

If you are hungry......you can receive food
If you are cold.......you can receive shelter
If you are sick......you can receive medical care

Could I see the costs of that act lined up with the money saved?

I think that would be a better test of how this impacts the taxpayer.
 
No, and neither do you.

NONE of that saves YOU any money.

How fucking stupid are you? Really? We want to know.

The ability to keep them on COSTS YOU MONEY, it does not SAVE you money.

So yours is a semantic argument. There are cost savings related to a child’s ability to remain covered until they are 25 but in order to realize these savings, we need to change pronouns.

Your argument is that it won’t save the original poster any money, it will in fact cost the original poster money.

So to fix this, the kid will pay the difference and save a ton of money for himself by not having to have his or her own insurance and its individual premium.

And still.. even with this 'law' requiring it... I will not be doing it... my daughters... either stay on mine while in college (which has been there for a long time already) or they get jobs or join the military to get their benefits... as stated.. I will not have an ADULT (not 'kid') on my policy til the age of 25... my kids know that, and they know that as adults they will be responsible for themselves

So your little chart does really nothing for me

No... that is being dependent... being a leech... not being "American"

And all of those things you mention can be handled by voluntary charity.... for you have the freedom to be as giving as you want, but also the freedom to be as miserly as you want... the magic of the free society... and while I can agree that the populace has the freedom to be non-giving, it does not mean that I believe people should be non-giving... just that our populace should not be FORCED to participate in a charitable system run by the government
