It's still an issue, just not the singular issue...there are so many to choose from now.
Thanks for suggesting that Obamacare is not that bad after all and that it is indeed working for Americans everywhere.
What candidates say in campaigns lives long after the campaign is dead and gone. Republican rhetoric in the heat of the fight over Obamacare is beginning to comeback and haunt them. Where is the financial collapse of America if Obamacare passes? And what about the 60 million Americans who lost their insurance due to Obamacare? And the millions of people who will die due to Obamacare How many people can't find a family doctor or is on a waiting list to get into the hospital? And what happen to the half million doctors that will leave the profession?
What will probably be the biggest problem is the promise to repeal Obamacare. Due to the expansion of Obamacare we have 6 million more people on Medicaid. We have an additional 1.4 million people that signed up for individual insurance that previously were uninsured. All toll we are up 9.3 million people that have insurance due to Obamacare. By 2016, the figure will be over 12 million. The repeal of Obamacare boat is long gone, if it ever really existed. Any effort at appeal will be accompanied by legislation that will duplicated 95% of Obamacare.
tell that to the people who have lost coverage or had their premiums and deductibles doubled. Keep the two good things 1. cannot be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions, 2. no lifetime maximum payments. and scrap the rest of it.
and get healthcare OUT of the IRS.
Scrap the rest? What about the 6 million plus on Expanded Medicaid and millions of low income earners that are receiving large subsidies that are paying most of their insurance premium, and young people under 26 who would loose the coverage of their parents policy. Senior's loose the yearly wellness exam, increased preventive care screenings, and the reduction in drug costs from elimination of donut hole. Doctors in rural areas loose the increased bonuses and hospitals loose the incentive bonuses for better quality and lower costs. Some employees would loose insurance coverage and others would find themselves back on junk insurance plans.
Keeping the ban on preexisting condition means keeping the individual mandate which is probably the most controversial part of the law.
No, you can't just repeal the law and turn the clock back to 2008. That would never fly. A replacement for Obamacare would be ever bit as complex and would have to provide the same benefits we currently have.
first, those 6 million would not have been denied medical care before ACA. NO ONE was denied medical care before ACA. It was a fix for a non problem. There was no healthcare crisis.
A 26 year old adult should not be dependent on his/her parents. WTF is wrong with this society that it thinks such a thing should be subsidized by those who are actually working?
A annual wellness exam is a provision of medicare, not ACA.
There will be as many, if not more, uninsured americans after full implementation of ACA as there were before that POS bill was rammed through congress by dems only before anyone knew what was in it.
If you are going to rant about this, at least have some of your facts correct.
Obama said, and I paraphrase: If you have insurance through your job then we are going to work with your employer to lower your premiums by $2500 for the typical family.
By O's own standard, ACA is a failure.
If you like your plan/doctor, you can keep your plan/doctor .... by O's own standard (Lie of the Year), ACA is a failure.ACA does nothing to lower the cost of health services at the point of service. By this standard it, ACA is a failure. The cost to the taxpayer is outrageous. The government (we) could have bought the newly insured a good policy directly from the insurance company for 1/2 the price. By that standard, ACA is a failure.
These are not conclusions that anyone needs to wait to jump to. They are currently real.
ACA is no different than Cash For Clunkers; just remove the clunkers and insert people. Not that any of the fucking morons on the left would care, even if they knew about these facts. Cause these types of facts are not reported in the places where the tards on the left get their "facts." More like, "half baked" facts at best and outright lies at worst.
Anyone here claiming Obamacare has been a success story is a liar, does not pay for their own bills, and are confusing people being simply covered and those being deprived quality care. What we do know for fact is millions of people (mainly the middle class) have lost their doctors, lost their coverage that they truly need, and it has been replaced by inadequate provisions.
You stupid brainwashed fucking liberals.
