they want to dismantle the ACA , allow ins to cross state lines, already does, have HSA's , we already do.
Don't be fooled , read about Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and United Healthcare Group and a few other giants. They gobble up smaller health ins companies like Pac man, and do whatever they want to the prices.
I don't think I heard one GOP talk about prescription prices. If they did, it was not a big deal for them as I listened to all debates.
Trump doesn't know jack about HI, and all those coming out to endorse him, is just because they will want favors.
You talk a LOT....for someone who offers absolutely ZERO proof to back up your bullshit.
If you bothered to LISTEN more than you speak (which is why God gave your 2 ears and only 1 mouth) and if you bothered to research things so you could educate yourself rather than spend your time posting UN-educated opinions, you might have heard about many of the plans the GOP...ones that aren't based on lies, bullshit, false promises, Un-Constitutional mandates, hundreds of billions for morons who can't build a web site, and taking even MORE tax dollars to bail out insurance companies who are failing under the ACA.
Pre-Existing Conditions and Allow Health Insurance purchases across state lines are only 2 of the MANY pieces out there.
Obama's plan was to destroy the existing health care / insurance system as it existed. He then sold it to, as Gruber called them, 'Stupid' people, Liberal sheep, by telling them how OBAMA'S plan would do something no other man / government / plan in history has ever done - create a government program that DID NOT COST A DIME and that PAID FOR ITSELF. He falsely promised it would LOWER the cost of health care / Insurance, promised no would lose their health coverage, and no one would lose their jobs!
-- IT WAS ALL LIES...
ALL OF IT!
The BIGGEST lie, however, was dubbed the 'Lie of the Year': "If you like your plan / doctor, you can KEEP your plan / doctor." From the very start Obama's plan included re-writing / re-defining the MINIMUM amount of health insurance, based on what the GOVERNMENT DICTATED you need, which he KNEW meant all those Americans were NOT going to be able to keep their plans...This was Obama's 'Clinton-Lewinski' moment - like Clinton standing their with his 'johnson' in Lewinski's mouth, starring into the eyes of every American claiming he did not / was not having sex with Lewinski, Obama looked into the eyes of every American and proved a black President is every good of a liar as a white President by declaring Americans could keep their plan.
And FREEDOM? F* that! If you don't want to buy Obamacare, they planned to hit you with a punitive (punishment) FINE. (If it was that damn good of a plan to begin with, they would not have had to threaten to FINE them.
And Americans DID lose their insurance, Americans DID lose they jobs, and full-time workers who needed those jobs/hours were FORCED to take part-time jobs as their companies cut full-time jobs down to part-time so they could avoid having to provide the ACA for their workers. McDonalds was the 1st company to warn Obama that he went through with this they would lay off millions of people....So before the ink of his signature on the ACA was even dry Obama was singing waivers to prevent this massive tidal wave from happening.
There are other ways, other plans, better ideas that DON'T call for destroying the health care system, that don't cause Americans to lose their health care, insurance, and their jobs, that doesn't require the President of the United States to LIE, F* the people over, and financially blackmail / fine people into obeying.
And if the shit was / is so good....why did Every Branch of our government exempt themselves from it?!
Even Harry Reid, when asked about the trouble the ACA was having 6 months later, declared, "The ACA has always been about switching to a single-payer' system. The ACA was designed as a transition program to 'single-payer'. We knew the ACA would fail, but we didn't think it would fail THIS soon'.
Tom Coburn: "More than two years after the passage of Obamacare, the data overwhelming show the law will fail to achieve its core objectives of lowering costs and improving access," Coburn wrote in 2012. "That, ironically, may have been the design. By making private insurance unaffordable for everyone, it will become available to no one. All that will be left is government-centered, government-run, single-payer health care."
**** Republican senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, who has has been warning for quite some time that
Obamacare was "rigged to fail" in order to pave the way for a total government takeover of the health insurance industry.
“What we’ve done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we’re far from having something that’s going to work forever,” Reid said.
Obamacare has been a lot like releasing terrorists from GITMO. To 'close Gitmo', you have to release a lot of terrorists 1sts. To get to the govt single-payer health care system Obama wants, you 1st had to destroy the existing health care system. Once the ball is rolling, whether it is releasing terrorists or replacing the existing health care system with the ACA, you are one step closer to your objective. Damn who gets hurt in the process, to hell with the Constitution...who ever has the power at the right moment can push their own PERSONAL agenda.
Oh yes, there were / are plans out there far superior to Obama's 'legacy', that will NOT survive.
