With the exception of minimum wage jobs, very few employers operated without providing some sort of healthcare coverage for their employees. After all, we all need such coverage.
Uh, not really. Even before ObamaCare, only 100 million people were covered by employer plans. 30 million were covered by unions, 20 million by private plans (which mostly sucked) and 100 million by government plans. And of course, you had 46 million who had no insurance. And this was fine with Republicans.
I never said another company wouldn't hire me even at my age, what I did say is that I may find another job, start from the bottom again, and then that employer would do the same as my current employer--drop the insurance benefit and tell me to go on Commie Care.
So again, it sounds to me that you are kind of useless, if you have all this experience and you would be starting at the "bottom".
The problem here is that this idiocy had nothing to do with making sure everybody had coverage; It's 2016, and millions are still not covered. What it had to do with is trying to create as many more government dependents as possible. After all, most government dependents vote Democrat.
right. Says the loser living in a trailer park. You done be totally self-sufficient, Cleetus, it's dem der welfare people. Hey, I think we found a picture of you.
Another thing: watch the presidential debates when they come around. One of the top issues the Democrats will have is how the Republicans want to get rid of Commie Care. That's part of the plan: to tell people what government goodies Republicans want to take from you. It happens every presidential debate.
Probably because every year, the Republicans nominate some piece of shit who tells you how they want to snatch food from the mouths of poor children to give tax cuts to rich people.
As for single-payer, DumBama could have passed that easier than Commie Care, but he didn't. He wanted this abortion of a plan.
Except he couldn't have passed single payer. The Insurance industry would have did what it did in 1993, roll out Harry and Louise commercial scaring stupid people into thinking the government was going to kill them all.
The thing that changed was the insurance companies realized the status quo couldn't go on.
