i bet i've voted across the spectrum, (D) (R) & green party way more than you would ever consider doing, raymond.
Correct. I would never dream of voting for communists or throwing my vote in the basket by voting a third party. Might as well stay home on election day. But I don't know what you think that proves by taking the side of Democrats every debate.
ohio expanded medicaid... guess who is behind that, ray ray?
the ACA.
It's more than obvious you trying to move the goal posts. It doesn't change the fact that Commie Care was a complete lie on so many levels.
wrong. why do you think bighealthcorp fought tooth & nail - spending millions on lobbying against the ACA & especially a public option? because it would cut into their profits... so much for that free market capitalism, 'eh?
When government tries to control industry it's not free capitalism any longer, it's government controlled capitalism. For instance the private market takes your premium payments and invests them instead of tucking the money in between mattresses somewhere. Commie Care required they no longer do that. They must use 80% of the premium money on paying bills. Without investment money to offset claims, they only have one choice but to increase those premiums which happened.
If businesses thought for one second using most of the premium money to pay bills was advantageous, they would have been doing that long ago. But they were forced to cut investments, cut investigations of false claims, and put that money where government demanded it go. That's not free capitalism.
