And when you've used up those credits what then? you are on your own? My Dads dialysis treatments 3X a week would burn through those credits in less than a month.
Well, then he dies.
The jobs aren't coming back. The Republican employment program is about reducing the unemployed population, those who spend too much on healthcare, and other undesirables.
Do you remember death panels? It's going to be a lot like that.

If this were true then they would be in favor of abortion and birth control.
I don't really understand how any thinking person votes for these people, but their voters are a proud and angry breed.

So far we've seen an effort to get rid of the independent ethics committee, fund pork barrel earmarks, and pass a deficit budget that raises the national debt by $9.7 trillion.
And the week's not over.
I think what he was getting at (and I tend to agree) is the liberal movement took an astounding setback during the elections and we need to come to terms with that. The Republican party and it's winning candidate are now firmly in charge. Done is done.
As much as it pains me to know people will be hurt, the one thing I learned about the folks that let this happen is that no amount of reason, no irrefutable data, no simple human compassion is going to change their minds. The only thing that might give them pause to reflect is that empty feeling and fear that comes when they realize that they've made a monumentally poor decision and they too will suffer from it.
I'm starting to smell that fear. Earlier than expected.

Let it play out.
Those who voted to nominate Hillary allowed this to happen.
I'm all in on UHC. But the Republicans who run things now are clearly not going there. Repeal is the name of their game and it is going to have profound economic and political costs for them if they go through with it. They can repeal without the Dems, but replace will be impossible. Don't expect much help from Schumer unless the plan is something more UHC-like. Who knows, though? GOP passed Medicare Part D under considerable pressure from rising drug costs. Wouldn't it be the sweetest irony if they ended up replacing Obamacare with UHC?
Now that I could get on board with. And Republicans couldn't complain about it because they did it. Double awesome.

That system is all set up.
That's what Nancy Pelosi proposed and it could still be done. The system is already set up.
The ER doesn't ask for unaffordable co-pays and deductibles.
The ER charges tens times as much and goes after the patient via collections. If they cannot pay and many cannot, we the tax payers pay for them. And if we don't, the hospitals go bankrupt.
