Obamacare Is Now on Life Support

[Seawytch]

Obamacare on life support.....

My healthcare is just fine...and it's the one I got to keep.

Yup...I got to keep BOTH of my plans...and they got better.

So you were on medicaid to begin with...

Uh no dear...I have an employee provided plan and Tricare Prime...familiar with that? You have to have served...

And if I was a liberal I would say you are on government assistance.
But as a conservative I believe our service men and women deserve those benefits......dear.

Except a liberal wouldn't say that...in fact, you tried to paint me as a "leech" right off the bat, implying that I was on Medicaid. You didn't recover well...

I thought the GOP congress was going to fix things ??

Paul Ryan promised they'd have their own plan...next year sometime. Sorta. Maybe.

I pay a fine for something I will never use...

Well your fine will help offset the costs for those of us who will pay your bill when you end up in the hospital. You're welcome.

All my adult life the very few times me and my family have been to a clinic, I paid out of pocket. And plan to to continue paying of pocket. I don't appreciate extortion(insurance) I have never claimed anything off extortion(insurance) in my life...I Don't plan to start anytime in the future.

You've got several hundred thousand dollars in your pocket? I'd think you'd at least need a briefcase.

Bullshit..liberals are constantly comparing SS and military benefits to welfare every time there's a discussion on the subject.

Thats the problem with liberalism..you cant be consistent when you stand for nothing.

First I've heard of it.

Than you have a memory problem...or is it a selective memory problem.

I don't appreciate to be made to pay for something that "might" happen. It's a figure of speech dumba$$ - checking/debt account.

She knew that. Liberals are always trying to score cheap political points that way.
All it does is show how little they have.

Then I'm sure you can link to numerous examples of posts on this board saying precisely that.

So, no vehicle insurance, life insurance, mortgage insurance either? Very adult of you.

I buy vehicle insurance because it's the law, never have used it never will. Same with Obamacare fine also never will.
I am and have been debt free for my whole adult live, living within me and families means is sooooo, easy spend less than we have. Simple as that.

Frivolous lawsuits, required insurance and insane legislation is the reason for high cost of medical care.

Lucky as that. Apparently people whose cars are struck by drunk drivers, those whose houses burn down, and those who are diagnosed with chronic non-lifestyle-related illnesses deserve what they get.

Ah, the old "tort reform" rationale - I've missed that one. Guess you think complex surgical procedures can be performed by any rube with a Leatherman.

It is not up to the "village" to pay for misfortunes, that is no way to live.

Liabilities along with frivolous lawsuits are the reason most of the high costs.

 

[Arianrhod]

Which is precisely why you're supposed to take care of your own. What if someone in your family needed a heart transplant? Would you have the approximately $1 million to cover the costs, or would you say "Sucks to be you. What kind of coffin would you like?"?

There are plenty of charities out there, no one should be forced to pay into something they what nothing to do with.

It's best to be the ant and not the grasshopper...

 

[Arianrhod]

There are plenty of charities out there...

So if one of your dependents needed a million-dollar heart transplant, you'd expect a charity to fund it? There's your village.

No, for catastrophic things there are charities. PAying into a pool and/or dependending on a village is not the answer for anything.
Socialism is not the answer for anything, it's the only path to dictatorship.

 

[Arianrhod]

No, for catastrophic things there are charities.

There are over 5,000 heart transplants performed in the U.S. annually. At an initial cost (not counting lifelong immunosuppressive medications) of $1 million per, that's $5 billion.

List the charities that can dole out $5 billion every year.

And that's just cardiac transplantation. What about the funding for liver transplants, kidney transplants, skin grafts? Cancer treatments, MIs, neurosurgery, etc.? Where do those billions come from?

What about chronic degenerative disorders like Parkinson's, RA, MS, etc., etc.?

Tell the class what magical treasure trove that money would come from on your planet.

The country is already broke has been for decades, we can't spend what we don't have. Can't get blood out of turnips.

Mythology and a poor attempt at deflection.

But you've admitted you refuse to take care of your own and you'd sponge off a charity if necessary.

So let's try this again:
