Wow, these right wingers are so damn dumb. They think Americans don't want health care? How could they be so stupid. And that DB Stef, I bet she thinks she paid for that road she walks down.
Jesus,
Well, you can always pick your source:
Herb Richardson wife thank god for obamacare
1. paying for insurance is not the same as paying to provide health care services and facilities. I would rather invest directly in medical education and internship programs that train people while providing health services to the public.
Unfortunately that is not an option under Obamacare.
I am penalized if I choose to invest my money directly into more sustainable means of health care, in place of paying insurance companies which don't provide health care.
2. The people forced to sign up for insurance cannot necessarily afford the premiums, the deductibles, or the costs of care not covered by insurance.
3. Nothing was stopping people from setting up their own health care cooperatives and exchanges through their own organizations or even their Party.
Now, thanks to ACA, we'd have to pass legislative reforms to give back this choice of funding health care without going through insurance, since the bill made insurance the only legal way to pay for health care (except if you meet narrow restrictions on exemptions).
Singlepayer advocates also cannot exercise their beliefs under this system, that requires them to pay "insurance companies" instead of investing in creating a national network of health care provisions that could cover more people.
This ACA is like someone holding a gun to our heads. And neither the Police on the right or the People on the left can agree on how to stop this gunman. So they are arguing and blaming each other for not doing anything, instead of anybody doing anything, while the gunman continues to hold everyone hostage, forcing us to pay money to insurance companies because we don't agree on all the options we could be paying for instead.
Do we have to AGREE on all the options? Why not stop the gunman first, and agree to give back the money so everyone can pay for the options they believe in? Who says we need to all agree who to give our money to, in order to stop the gunman from forcing our money to go to insurance companies? Why can't we choose to buy insurance freely as before? Why is paying for insurance the only way to avoid getting shot in the head with fines?
