You should be buying your health insurance exactly the same way you buy your life, auto, and home insurance. There is no logical reason why we are not.
If you lose your job, you don't immediately lose your life, auto, and home insurance. In fact, if you stay with the same life, auto, or home insurance company over time you start to get discounts.
And when you buy your life, auto, and home insurance you get to CHOOSE what options you do or do not want on your policy. You get to decide what price you will pay, and you get to choose from a universe of insurance companies from across the entire country who are all competing for your business.
Employer-sponsored health insurance is one of the biggest wastes of capital in history, driving up the cost of health insurance. ObamaCare actually entrenches this disaster even more deeply into our healthcare cost spiral. He did this because employer-sponsored health insurance is a labor union boondoggle.
Most of the actual American citizens who are actually involuntarily uninsured are not the same people who will be involuntarily uninsured next year. They are people who lost their job and therefore lost their health insurance.
That SCREAMS for an entirely different solution than ObamaCare.
One third of the involuntarily uninsured are high school dropouts. One third. That also SCREAMS that ObamaCare has some other motive behind it because this leading cause of being uninsured was not even addressed in ObamaCare.
I am sick and tired of the attitude that believes the answer to every problem is more government. For every problem, there are millions of Democrats crying, "What is the government going to do about this? Waaaaaaah!"
This is followed by the retarded illogic which goes like this:
1. We must do something.
2. This is something.
3. We must do this.
"We must pass ObamaCare".
If a "solution" does not even accurately identify the causes or the actual problem, then it is predestined to fail. ObamaCare is one such "solution".
Fucking, fucking, fucking idiots.
