1. If insight and experience had ever been used, ObamaCare would have been tossed aside from the start.
There are so many things wrong with the entire concept that those opposed hardly imagined that it would even gain a foothold on the public's imagination.
No she doesn't and all I saw was dates before obamacare.
2. First.....ObamaCare is not healthcare....it's healthcare insurance. President Reagan saw to it that every human being, legal or otherwise, in our country had healthcare in 1986.
"The
Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (
EMTALA)
[1] is an
act of the
United States Chttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Medical_Treatment_and_Active_Labor_Actongress, passed in 1986..."
3. The Left, American's Bolsheviks, inflated the numbers in need of insurance. Rather than disrupting the entire industry identify the 8-10 million who need and are unable to get healthcare, including those with pre-existing conditions,and provide debit cards as is done for food stamps:
"Food debit cards help 27 million people buy food, similar to the number who need help buying health coverage. In all fifty states, debit card technology has transformed the federal food stamp program, which used to be notorious for fraud and abuse. (Only 2 percent of card users are found to be ineligible, according to the General Accounting Office.) Cards are loaded with a specific dollar amount monthly, depending on family size and income, and allow cardholders to shop anywhere. The same strategy could be adapted to provide purchasing power to families who need help buying high-deductible health coverage. It's what all Americans used to buy (see chart 5), and it's all that's needed for families with moderate incomes, who can afford a routine doctor visit. "

4. Polls of the vast majority with healthcare insurance, 90-95%, were more than satisfied with their insurance.
"So, while one poll with unique wording pegged satisfaction at 95 percent, the average of all relevant polls over a two-year period was eight points lower than what Will cited. However, Will is correct that the levels of satisfaction with one's own health insurance are consistently high. Indeed, they're extraordinarily high, when one considers how rarely surveys find such high levels of agreement among Americans. Since Will portrayed the larger point accurately, even while modestly overstating the number, we rate his comment Mostly True."
Will says that 95 percent of people with health insurance are satisfied with it
5. Based on the amount lost on ObamaCare exchanges..
"The Federal Government's $146 Billion Obamacare Boo-Boo"
The Federal Government's $146 Billion Obamacare Boo-Boo -- The Motley Fool...
...the government could simply have given a debit card loaded with $15,000 to every one of the 10 million who couldn't afford insurance.
Soooo....who are the history-challenged dopes who bought the scam?
Reliable Democrat Voters
Raise your paws.
out of pocket expenses more
bolsheviks
most were happy with coverage
1.The GOP has found out that it can not be replaced overnight without costing them their job and future elections..So they are hating it , instead of fixing the problems.
2.Too many people want and need Obamacare insurance so the 90-95% is wrong
3.Not one of those GOP mention how they are paid off by Big Pharma, and Medical hacks, so of coarse they are slamming Obamacare.
4.Obamacare needs work, the mandate is gone so what the heck are the ones hating it still complaining for?
5. Like Harley said they don't want to, nor do they mention how much it is costing us for the uninsured to use the ER and then skip the high bill
6. I feel that Obamacare was created for the very ill, before Obamacare people were losing their life savings, and homes and once the funds were gone they stopped treatment and the people died. This is why the premiums are high
7.I pay over $3,000 a month for my insurance which is much better than paying over $700.000
+ X 2 after getting sick with cancer.
8.Plus they cannot find a little tiny reason to kick me off anymore , like they did millions of people
9. My son's are both in college ( one is a Type 1 diabetic ) so I am glad that they can stay on my health insurance until they get a good job.
.
"2.Too many people want and need Obamacare insurance so the 90-95% is wrong."
Really?
"When we started this health care debate a year ago, 85 percent of the American people had health insurance, and 95 percent of the 85 percent were happy with it."

Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, May 2008. "Overall, how satisfied are you with your current health insurance plan?" 17 percent extremely satisfied, 36 percent very satisfied, 33 percent somewhat satisfied.
Total: 86 percent satisfaction.
If you average these eight scores, the total rate of satisfaction is 87 percent. In all but one poll, the satisfaction level was below Will's stated level of 95 percent.
One poll, taken five months before Obama was inaugurated, did come up with 95 percent satisfaction. But alone among these eight polls, that survey asked participants about the "quality of health care I receive through my (health insurance) plan." While we decided that the wording was close enough to merit inclusion on our list, the modest difference in satisfaction levels may stem from the way the question was phrased. Many people feel more warmly toward their doctors than they do toward their insurers.
So, while one poll with unique wording pegged satisfaction at 95 percent, the average of all relevant polls over a two-year period was eight points lower than what Will cited. However, Will is correct that the levels of satisfaction with one's own health insurance are consistently high. Indeed, they're extraordinarily high, when one considers how rarely surveys find such high levels of agreement among Americans. Since Will portrayed the larger point accurately, even while modestly overstating the number, we rate his comment Mostly True.
