We know the individual parts are very popular.
The Dems did what Repubs could never do, pass a comprehensive healthcare reform bill.This bill was 2700+ pages of steaming elephant dung and a lot of people knew it.
The Dems did a lousy job getting it passed.
The Dems did a lousy job selling it.
Let the Supreme Court kill it and then we can start over.
Seems like an awfully hard sell.
Millions losing their health care because of the party of "Let Him Die"?
We know the individual parts are very popular.
Then "we" should have made them severable.
the 85% who liked the provision that health insurance companies cannot turn one away from being insured as a result of pre-existing conditions.
Are idiots. Sorry to be harsh - but anyone who thinks this is a rational expectation of insurance has a fundamental misunderstanding about what insurance is and how it works. That misunderstanding is really at the core of most of our problems regarding health care. We're trying to pretend insurance is something it isn't.

Tell me "D" isn't for dumb.
If you actually go and find out what a "pre existing" condition is you would probably change your tune.
You would think it's like trying to buy car insurance after you've had a crash, but the truth is, you can go to an insurance company website and find out "pre existing" condition could be an allergy. It could be your wife had a mammogram within the last six months. It could be you kid had their tonsils out. Insurance companies make it vague so they can cancel you coverage if you get too expensive. It may be different if you work for a company that offers health care, but for single family policies, it's terrible.

It stands for 'dean'! In your honor.

Yup. It sucks. I'm not disputing that in the slightest. My point is: that's the way insurance works. It's not a club you join so you don't have to pay for your health care. It's literally hedging your bets against future illness. All the sad stories in the world won't change that. And passing laws to try to change what insurance is, to try to make insurance into something it isn't, is delusional.
If we want to use the power of government to make sure these people are taken care of then we should do it via taxation and safety nets. To a large degree, these already exist. If the argument is that we need to beef them up, that's a legitimate discussion to have. But just pointing a gun at insurance (or people who don't want insurance) and saying 'fix it' is moronic.

yes making others pay for your stuff always polls well! Sadly, this is how Democrats buy votes and subvert our democracy.
How well does raising taxes $trillions poll? Now you know why Obama had to lie to get it passed!
. At least it[Obamacare] was a change sending these insurance companies a message.

When it comes to health care you pay for the uninsured anyway. Hospitals usually do not refuse people. If they can't pay - costs are passed on. Some of it to you when you make your visit.

too stupid!! Their stocks went up not down!! The message that must be sent to liberals is that insurance companies must be freed to compete.
Health insurance has not been very good. This is because liberals made competition illegal!
Imagine someone who jogs for fun and someone who races in life and death competition? Who would be a faster runner? Now you understand competiton and how it makes us better. Not so hard was it?
You go ahead and trust unfettered insurance companies to help you in hard times. History has no stories to tell us regarding deregulation and private institutions.
Try taking care of a loved one with a severe mental illness. The illness is tragic within itself. Watch your bank roll hemorage as you try to help your loved one get on disability.
Sure the insurance companies will stand by you as you hunt for advanced care. Santa Claus is real too.

This is silly on so many levels.

too stupid and liberal. China just deregulated and instantly ended centuries of en masse liberal starvation. Its been in all the papers

again who knows what your subject is? Are you arguing for welfare or just non bureaucratic welfare that is easy to obtain??
Sure the insurance companies will stand by you as you hunt for advanced care. Santa Claus is real too.
what??? its like saying Ford can make a crummy car despite competition. Liberals make competition illegal in health care so of course it is bad. Liberals made every industry bad in China, then they deregulated and every industry got competitive.
Is that really over your head?

why not look up competition in the dictionary and tell us what you think it means then? As a liberal you'll see that the most basic concepts are far over your head. Liberalism is the default position when one lacks the IQ to understand capitalism. Sad, but true.
You have no problems with insurance companies denying insurance based on pre-existing conditions or students having to stay in school full time to get treated for a terminal illness?
