Is taking away health care from millions of people a better idea? Or maybe raising premiums for the elderly, a better idea?That is exactly what they tried to do, but how to fix something that is beyond repair?The 'implosion' of Obamacare that people keep yapping about is only about the exchanges, which involve a tiny percentage of Americans.
Therefore the proper solution would be a narrow focused bill that fixes, improves, or replaces the exchange system with something better,
forget about raising the premiums for the elderly... those even deeper cuts to medicaid by the senate's bill will be devastating to the elderly. the vast majority of seniors living in nursing homes are paid by medicaid dollars. medicare doesn't pay for long term care.
Hey, shit for brains!
Learn the difference in Medicare and Medicaid. The elderly do not get Medicaid!
Although there is a difference quite a few elderly receive Medicaid and Medicaid pays their Part B premium. Not to mention there is a high percentage of the elderly receiving benefits from Medicaid in nursing homes.
