Republicans who want to repeal Obamacare are idiots.
You can't repeal it. It's roots go deep, quickly.
You can only hope to dismantle parts of it.
And if you dismantle parts of it, it will make things worse. Such as destroy the deficit.
What's funny, the bill is just really creating a transparent marketplace, making access to health care easier, subsidies for low income, and additional taxes to cover the subsidies. Along with certain restrictions such as preexisting conditions.
I'm not a fan of the bill, but it's better than the system before it.
And it clearly didn't crater the economy as the conservative media predicted it would. I'm still waitin
I'd be curious to know what parts are better?
No preexisting conditions How is access to health care easier?
Exchanges with a transparent market place and more businesses with employer sponsored care. Additional taxes, which ones are directly benefiting low income subsidies?
All the additional taxes cover the subsidies. You know, the capital gains tax, medical device, tax for not having insurance. Do those low income subsidies include the taxes some are now paying in the form of penalties, even if they qualify for low income subsidy.
I don't see how subsidy includes taxes.
What part is transparent?
The entire bill has been posted online, and the market place is transparent. How would the deficit be destroyed if parts were dismantled?
Take away the tax increases, what do you think happens to the deficit?
So one thing is better, which that one thing can easily be debated on if it is best for society as a whole, or if it benefits a small extreme deviation.
Yeah ... you better go check that transparency again. I don't think it is easier, and how many more businesses are offering health care that don't? The WSJ ran an article that proved small employers would start kicking people off insurance because it was cheaper to pay the penalty.
Additional taxes? How are those working out, the biggest sponsors of the bill are now crying foul because of the taxes hitting the poor and middle class in their districts because people couldn't figure out how to get the insurance or did not want it.
Medical device tax, I run the sales division for my company that piddles around with medical devices. That tax is killing the industry here in America.
Capital gains tax ... detail that one for me. How much more can you get from that, your 1%, like Warren Buffet, don't pay that shit.
The entire bill has been posted on line! Great. Not even the politicians know how to read that bill.
Silly bear, you really think tax increases go to paying off the deficit?
