Placing the blame for HC insurance where it belongs

[Avatar4321]

The blame belongs to:

Democrats for forcing ACA on this nation

Republican leadership for giving and promoting Obamacare lite instead of listening to the base.

Kudos to conservatives keeping their campaign promise instead of following leaders off a cliff

Maybe if they had read it before they passed it, they would have made it more cost effective.

Now, that little bit of bitching has played itself out for the last 7 years......Try another line of frustrated bitching.

Try another line of frustrated bitching.

Unless you have a way to go back and change Pelosis statement, it stands

There you go complaining about the results of Obamacare again. Create the mess, blame the outcome on someone else.

Truly libtarded.

The problem is COSTS that have skyrocketed forever. Go after them DUH.

She didn't say CONGRESS didn't know what was in it, she said citizens didn't know what was in it, dupes. Still learning...Now go after the COSTS.

Some day (maybe,) right wingers will begin to place the REAL blame on the deserving ones:

Health insurance industry rakes in billions while blaming Obamacare ...

Making a killing under Obamacare: The ACA gets blamed for rising ...

Health insurers watch profits soar as they dump small business ...

The above, coupled with greedy big pharma companies and hospital associations must be considered by lawmakers.....and finally choose what the rest of the industrialized world is currently enjoying.

You're the one who supported a law forcing everyone to buy their product or be fined, dumbass.

the ACA was designed to have all 50 states participating. when several states pulled out (mostly all red states) ... the landscape changed. not to mention that the insurance plans both on & off the exchange has to have certain basic coverage. however, because those same companies weren't making as much profit to line their pockets with; some decided to extremely limit their participating providers on the exchange & have decided to offer the same plans with the same coverage- but at higher premiums off the exchange that did include wider networks. most like to say obama lied about 'keeping your doctor', when it was the insurance companies screwing around.

but the biggest culprit was marco rubio. he installed a 'poison pill' into the appropriation omnibus bill that was designed to fund the ACA. the health insurers were promised a recoup of their funds that were spent for the sickest people (called 'high risk corridors or pools') thru government subsidies of their own. rubio installed that pill that dictated those companies be reembursed only 13 cents on every dollar they are owed. that's why they are pulling out & that's why the remaining companies have jacked up the cost of everything.

is the ACA perfect? hell no. however, anybody want to say how premiums have ever gone DOWN?

anybody want to say when health ins. premiums DIDN'T go up year after year? they still would have under the ACA, just not as much as they have if it weren't for little marco.

say goodbye to:

annual caps
lifetime caps
premiums based on age & not health status
80-85% of premiums REQUIRED BY LAW to be spent on actual healthcare (& not lining the pocket of stockholders) or get a REQUIRED reimbursement....

Pre-Carter's 1979 Congress. They started then. Reagan's second Congress really paved the way for the Oligarchy. The Reagan Congress (2nd) Passed into law legal bribery. It was the end for representation of regular constituents.

Actually, I never liked the ACA (Romney-care, really) because HC insurers were involved. In the long run, I've long been an advocate of Medicare for ALL.
