People were not dying in the streets in 2009. Let's just go back.
Repeal and to hell with replace.
"Let's just go back" is kind of your answer for everything, isn't it?
Progress always wins out. It can be delayed, but it never stops.
Moldy. Maybe you should listen to stories about how the ACA saved lives. Then again that probably wouldn't change your mind. Such as it is with a piece of genetic waste such as you are.
Moderatus –
People weren't dying in the streets (any more than they do now). But there were a sizable number dying at home due to treatable diseases or complications from injury who did not pursue treatment because they did not have coverage.
Worse, in my opinion, are the number of people who were pushed into lifelong debts or bankruptcy.
if Republicans cannot fulfill their promise to "replace with something better," they own the consequences. Estimates are: up to 45,000 early deaths each year, a return to lifetime caps and high risk pools, and more business for bankruptcy courts.
Damn lazy kids staying on their parents plan! When I was a boy, kids died all the time! Make room for someone else is what I say!
If people want pre-existing conditions (like being female! who would ever…?) covered then maybe they ought not get sick to begin with! GOP Healthcare: Get Sick, Die Quick! Repeal & Repent!!!
Owen Hill's mama must have dropped him on his head as a child.
"Free and fair market"? You mean where transparent prices based on actual costs for products and services are available? Where customers can shop around and choose just the products and services they want, when they want? Where competition among doctors, hospitals and clinics ensure that prices stay low?
Yeah, that perfectly describes our healthcare market for the last couple of centuries before that Muslim-Kenyan Black Guy took over…
Moddy is also suffering from a cranial rectal inversion.
So is a cranial rectal inversion a pre-existing condition?
Yep, and if Moddy has any sense, he'd get it fixed before ACA is repealed and he's left flapping in the wind.
Our GOP state legislators should really pop out of their news bubbles once in a while to check out what's going on around the country with ACA protests.
* Jason Chaffetz being bombarded with questions about the GOP's "Better Way" wink-and-a-smile replacement for actual health insurance , and, like our brave Marine Coffman, fleeing the hordes of angry, questioning constituents at his own town hall.
In frigging Salt Lake City, Utah.
And to answer Moddy's "People weren't dying in the streets" claim about pre-ACA health coverage:
Yes. Yes, they were.
Maybe not in the streets, but in hospital ER and Urgent Care rooms, in nursing homes, in quiet bedrooms and on the job across the country…
According to the Families USA study, between 20,000 and 45,000 Americans died each year as a result of being uninsured.
In Colorado alone, 588,000 people stand to lose their health coverage because of ACA repeal. The state's economy will take a $33 billion hit from lost Medicare funds.
We already know that it isn't caring or compassionate to seek to roll back health care progress; but it also just isn't politically smart. GOP reps should take notice.
