If it wasn't so ironic it would be funny .. Obama runs around puttin' his thing down about how "everyone" will be insured
It was Republicans who insisted that states be able to opt out of the Medicaid expansion component. Not Obama.
And the only "free" care I've heard about from Obama lately is the free preventive care like physicals and mammograms/prostate checks. My doctor's office will be doing them.
In the last 5 years, Canada's life expectancy has remained flat while the
US's has increased. If it weren't for red states, the US's life expectancy
would be much higher than Canada's.
Of course. That's like saying "If it wasn't for all the obese people, the US would be the thinnest nation in the world."
Are the red states not part of the US?
I think the fear is that it will work for enough people - e.g those with pre-existing conditions and those who will get it for free - that the free rider wagon will become large enough to resist cutbacks, leading to an unresolvable expansion of debt i.e. it wiil work for the takers while bankrupting the rest of us.
It costs me $110.00 a month and it doesn't pay for everything (I've seen a doctor three times this year and it has cost me over $200.00 in co-pays).
Not sure who all these people are expecting "free" health care. Not even sure why Oct. was picked. The exchange site is supposed to be up and running then. Even Medicaid isn't free. This is to raise revenue, who thinks it is a free bee?
Are people seriously thinking that as of tomorrow they can go to any doctor and get free health care.
I have heard ins. Brokers on the radio stating they can't even login to the comp. themselves so how can they even enter new clients.
Diane Sawyer was interviewing a few people with pre existing conditions who hardly can't wait to get the new health care since they stated it is great to get it for free....
If it wasn't so sad it would almost be hilarious to see they huge mess that will start tomorrow....
Even though I'm a republican I hope there will not be a government shut down so we can see in full force the huge mess....
Look, there was never a promise of free healthcare. The exchanges were always presented as 50 different state marketplaces of private insurance companies.
Now as an actual fact, based on the subsidy calculator at kaiser, depending on your income, family size, the health insurance plan picked, etc, some people will qualify for health insurance that costs nothing per month.
But there was never a promise of free. Only a promise of affordable.
I wonder if doctors expect the leeches to pay their deductibles and copays?
