Fake Senate ACA Replacement Already Blocked!

[EvilCat Breath]

California is trying something different and it sounds like a good idea. I can't remember the details but they're going to try a different way and if it works there it can work anywhere. I hear California's economy alone is bigger that most other nations. It's like a country itself.

It's over. The idea died aborning.

The private insurance companies cut is about 5 percent, significant but it would seem not significant enough to make that much of a difference.

That's what they always say. Don't tax the rich. It won't make a difference. Yea right.

When the cost goes from 5 billion to 10 billion, that 5% adds up. Might not seem like that much right now but 5% is a lot. 5% a year?

Wife is paying 450 or so per month on obamacare.

5 percent is about 22 dollars? Significant? Depends on income. 450 is really un-affordable for a whole lot of people.

Aren't you getting older? Because older people will pay more under trumpdontcare

EVERYONE is paying more under Obamacare.

Medicare went up from 108 to 134 this year, which is about an 30 percent increase. Can't blame that on Trump or the Republicans, that is all you guys.

What were the annual average increases in premiums before the ACA?

What are they now?

The ACA was designed to slow the the cost increases. It has done that.

It appears that any Obamacare savings is a projected savings, has not happened yet. This after a fairly large increase in spending.

Just exactly how is one "paying for it"? Are you going to raise the FICA to cover the increased costs?

Will they pay the same premiums as retirees?

What happens when doctors refuse to accept them as Medicare patients?

Can you read? I think not because that was in my post. Really pisses you off that you get in a debate about something you know absolutely nothing about.

I read just fine. Apparently you cannot.

I asked you several questions to clarify what you said and you ignored them or could not understand.

Again, will you answer my questions or still be a typical liberal whiner?

NO you don't read just fine, I said to tack on 1% to payroll taxes and pay a reasonable premium for Medicare. Payroll taxes = FICA.

NO liberal whiner, I know what I'm talking about and you don't. It's not rocket science like you and GOP think it is, there is a very simple fix.

If it is that simple then why didn't the simpleton in chief fix it during his 8 wasted years?

Republicans blocked any attempt to "fix" Obamacare

They wanted it to fail

I certainly want it to fail. Because I don't agree with what it's trying to accomplish. That's why I oppose the Republican replacement. It's still trying to accomplish the same delusional goal.

Try again. That was never the goal. The goal was, and still is, to maximize insurance coverage.

The goal was single payer

Insurance for all was a fallback

No insurance company in it's right mind will ever take on preexisting illness or injury without financial backing from Sam. Isn't going to happen.
