Why don’t republicans have real solutions to healthcare?

[Lesh]

No way in FUCK single payer healthcare saves me one dime, I'd go upside down 6K annually. I'm middle class, my health premium is about $55 a month, and I've LITERALLY not spent one dime on medical expenses in probably a decade. I obviously don't see a doctor much. Matter of fact I saw one today. The visit is covered 100%, and even if it wasn't it wouldn't cost me a dime. If I have a heart attack tomorrow I don't spent one penny on the event.

Yeah, the current system is horrible.

The only way your "premium" is $55/month is if your employer pays the bulk of it.

In case you didn’t know, the GOP does not all give a shit about making healthcare more affordable to the middle class and poor. Republican voters for some reason think they do? I’m not really sure. Mitch McConnel just got a 50k payout from Big Pharma for blocking a vote on a bill to lower drug prices.

McConnell gets $50,000 from pharma after blocking bill to lower drug prices

When you ask average Joe republican what solutions they have to skyrocketing healthcare costs, they say “get government out of the way!”

Are you kidding me?

The reason why prescription drug prices are so high is because of corporate greed. Republicans know that right? It’s not like these wealthy executives say to themselves “man if only we got rid of all the government red tape. Then we can make enough money to lower our drug prices! We are noble men like that after all!” These execs have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize profit and obviously one way to do that is to charge insane prices for their drugs.

Hey guess what? A single payer system would be hella expensive and hard to implement, but it would still save us 450 billion per year on healthcare. It would save 60k people per year. After all, we spend more per capita on healthcare than any country on Earth. This largely goes to fat administrative costs.

Medicare For All would save $450 billion annually while preventing 68,000 deaths, new study shows

My health care is none of your business.. i doNt want to pay for you.. everyone has access.. work two jobs.. get government out and the prices will go down

No, getting government out won’t do shit. That’s just something you believe because it sounds good and coddles your pre-conceived notions. It doesn’t have a basis in reality.

It was cheap in 1776 .. no gov in loved let’s go back

It didn’t save anyone either...

And that is getting more and more rare.

The biggest problem with Obamacare is the gop cut taxes to pay for it, and subsidies need more taxes on HC providers. Who have no problem kicking in more to expand Medicaid, btw.

But to me, the biggest problem of Obamacare was the subsidy money just wasn't put into tax credits to let uninsured workers just buy HC insurance that was regulated by their state.

Why don’t republicans have real solutions to healthcare?

Because the real solution is not something a government can (should) provide.

Don't delude yourself. Democrats have no real solutions either.

Another example of the classic "If you don't what I think you should do, it's because you don't care!!!!" fallacy, common to all Democrats and the causes they support.

The very best way to lower health care costs is to do away with third-party pay systems and force everyone to pay for the goods and services they consume.

This will increase competition, lower prices, and improve quality.

Do away with them huh? How would that happen? Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Simple: change the laws that allow insurance companies to offer health care insurance.
See how easy that was?

I thought Obamacare did all that. Surely Barry Hussein and the rest of the Dimwingers didn't lie to America.

Maybe you missed it but prior to Obamacare government WAS "out" and prices were going up exponentially

Because the consumer is mostly insulated from the cost of the goods and services he consumes.
Further insulating the consumer will not make the situation better.

We both know I answered you question in full, and you don't have an intelligent response.

Here's an example: Ohio's laws regarding insurance.
Lawriter - OAC - 3901 Department of Insurance
And, specifically, health insurance.
Lawriter - OAC

This law.

Please - continue to demonstrate your inefficacy.

Lol you’re hysterical. You post a single link to any Ohio law regarding insurance and pretend that narrows down your point? Obviously it doesn’t.
