We'll take the price of tea in China.

Then multiply by the average temperature in Albuquerque.

Then add Dante's I.Q. (50).

And we'll call it health care savings.

oooops

The Trump Effect, same thing happened in 2018 the last time he tried to **** everything up. Dude is shit on this issue.

 

[Dante]

So you, at least, are safe from the carnage?

Wouldn't it be strange if nobody posted about losing their health insurance due to high premium cost, because of those horrible Republicans?

We know it will happen because hakeem jeffries told us so! What a statistical anomaly If not one, the person on this forum was affected!

I'm older now. I don't really care. Not all that many years left .. I see Mr. Reaper around the corner.

I'm sure that would be more convenient for you than looking at health care cost savings in the ACA era.

try and get some rest

Maybe you should wake up.

The Real Federal Deficit: Social Security And Medicare

The present value of our commitments to the elderly, looking indefinitely into the future, are on the order of ten times the size of the U.S. economy.

That is how they got the savings.

end govt care now....just another boondoggle so some pol can say look what I did and the rubes all bow down

 

[Greenbeard]

That is how they got the savings.

They got the savings by achieving zero excess health care cost growth for more than a decade starting in 2010 when the ACA passed. The only time on record such a feat has been achieved.

Too many seniors vote for that to get much traction.

The Government produces a report to support the claims of those in power.

You bet.

No way charlie.....this is the price you pay for putting people on up front who didn't pay into the system.

If I've paid into medicare my entire life....I'm getting medicare.

You want to wean people off of it, start with those entering the workforce. Either way, it's going to be hard on everyone.

Then you just pay for their indigent care at inflated prices anyway, along with having a sicker, less productive populace whose number one cause of bankruptcy is medical bills.

Such a simple, proven concept that we are just too fking stupid a country to wrap our minds around.

Then why are you whining all the time?

Your comment is senseless has nothing to do with mine. Obama loves you long time by destroying our health system
