They had their chance under Bush but their reform was to do nothing.
Exactly! My guess is that they did nothing because they were bought by the health insurance industry. The industry obviously wants nothing to change since they continue to insure fewer people and make higher profits. If that's your gig, why would you want to change it? But their GREED finally caught up to them.
It's pretty difficult to call it a crushing defeat when they were out numbered in both the House and Senate. The Democrats are like the Romans standing on a hill overlooking a pile of dead unarmed Christians and saying "boy we really showed those guys didn't we". Democrats will pay dearly for ignoring the will of the majority. If you want to witness a REAL crushing defeat wait until November and watch the Democrats fall like dominoes.
Ignorant far from it. Are you ignorant to accept the facts that the Republicans did not have any intentions of reforming Health care. Can you understand that?
Bush had 8 years to do it. Rememeber?
They were to busy fixing the economy only to have the Demcorats take over Congress in 2007 and fk it up..
You ALWAYS had that option. Federal law makes it illegal to deny you coverage at a new employer for pre-existing conditions which you had at your previous company.
People arguing about the virtues of the new law, while not knowing the current law.. laughable..
See, doesn't the government do good things for the American people!
Or maybe the Democratic voteing public will realize that their President just pushed thru a law thats going to raise their taxes, lower their level of health care & drive the deficit even higher & faster than it is now.
Only an idiot would think spending more when you are already broke is smart. Sadly Obama & 99% of democrats obviously qualify for idiocy.
I usually rep, but this post deserves a public approval. I don't think I have seen the truth said in a better way.
Since Obama went in as president, my husband's job was sent to Mexico. Our stocks which were holding steady have gone from $22 per share to less than $17. Cost of living for SS has been frozen but medicare now costs more.
Do you really think it matters to a person who has no money that he can get health care with preexisting conditions. Do you not know that 100% of 0 is nothing. And nothing buys nothing. Do the math.
So now we are going from a free country to a socialist country and I bet he is figuring how to take what we have left. This man will not be happy until he is controlling everything in the world.
Ahh yeah, the government taxing individuals and giving money/benefits to you is welfare..
Definition of welfare: aid to people in need: financial aid and other benefits for people who are unemployed, below a specific income level, or otherwise requiring assistance, especially when provided by a government agency or program
Do you understand that insurance is supposed to be used to cover bills you cant afford to pay. Your example is a PRIME example as to where insurance companies got screwed by the government. Mandating care for little things like $75 doctors visits, and $100 eye exams..
Insurance is for things you cant afford to cover YOURSELF... catastrophic events that will financially ruin your life..
Proof positive you have no clue what conservatives believe.. As opposed to the alternative, "you got yours, I dont have mine, so GIVE ME IT NOW!!!".. Lets talk about sad, pathetic, selfish, group of people!!!
You really must be out of touch if you think the average American can afford $75 - $100 for every doctor's visit. Poor, poor insurance companies got screwed. Why I heard a couple CEOs are barely getting by this year
They were to busy fixing the economy only to have the Demcorats take over Congress in 2007 and fk it up..
Fixing the economy? Do you really mean bombing the heck out of countries that had oil, but no WMD's??? The economy was just beautiful until the repubs got their greedy paws on it
