I can't find where Obama actually said that. How about a link, brainwashed functional moron? The GOP was never going to do anything with obama.Except for 35 days in session for Obamacare, Democrats have had no power to pass anything the last 50 years.... How can you vote for a scumbag party that wants to do away with the best and only social reform of the last 50 years? The pure brainwash.I don't need the insurance industry being involved in healthcare myself. Big health big pharma is a big GOP corporate scam still. Fix it. Obamacare will be worked on forever period it is a basic framework we passed by the skin of our teeth against GOP scumbags and brainwashed functional morons like you....You are totally drowning in GOP propaganda and corruption period fix the damn thing with transparency and competition the GOP blocks. Profits in healthcare is the last thing I give a damn about. The profit should be all plowed back into the system and giving back to the customers.Except that is the only way that everyone can get healthcare duh.... Everyone gets covered for everything period and no there is no transparency and competition in the healthcare system period it is a good start but it is a totally obstructed and sabotaged GOP mess. So it can remain a ridiculously expensive gold mine for big health and big pharma and doctors.... The place is also overrun with Indians Korean and other foreign doctors from around the world because we don't have enough medical schools and it is also ridiculously expensive thanks to the GOP and idiots like you. Oops brainwashed functional idiots like you change the channel....Government control my ass. Government organization so we finally get some actual coverage competition and guarantees. My investment has to do with actual facts and reality instead of your garbage propaganda, brainwashed functional moron. Tax the rich their fair share and invest in America for a change.....What is your investment in this government control?Yes it is the GOP plan and they still wouldn't vote for it not a single one . It needs to be worked on forever just like any other healthcare system. We have to go after costs and of course expand Medicaid those remaining red States -this is the Senate version because of GOP obstruction. Normally the House and Senate negotiate. But Massachusetts elected Scott f****** Brown and that was the end of that . Obama was lucky to get it passed at all and was never able to pass another thing. Democrats need 60 votes in the Senate to reform this mess..All those problems are because the GOP is a giveaway to big health big pharma and doctors. Snap out of it.If these hillbillies think covid is fake and Democrat cities are such hell holes, why are they running to the city hospitals for help? They are now taking up the beds of the city folk who deserve medical treatment.
Perhaps there should be a priority to treat city residents?
Rural Areas Send Their Sickest Patients to Cities, Straining Hospitals
Many rural communities across the U.S. have resisted masks and calls for social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, but now rural counties are experiencing record-high infection and death rates.
Critically ill rural patients are often sent to city hospitals for high-level treatment and, as their numbers grow, some urban hospitals are buckling under the added strain.
You don't get the point. Rural hospitals deal with common ailments, anything complex has to be shipped out to the major institutions that don't serve rural areas. There is no equality in medical CARE in this country. Until someone is as able to get the highest quality , top of the food chain , doctor to serve patients in Coudersport and Shinglehouse, as they do in Cleveland or NYC, there will be little taste in the smaller burgs to pay for socialized medical schemes.
O'care didn't address any of the problems that rural America faces in getting equal healthcare.
And the ACA aka O'care, was a partisan medical scheme that is still the law.
There is all kinds of competition in the Health Insurance field, Franco.
Are you unfamiliar with the competition at big employers during the "open enrollment" each fall?
The ACA actually reduces competition as it mandates expensive coverage in areas where a customer might not want or need coverage. I have no intention of changing my gender, or having an abortion, there is no reason why I need a policy that covers those services.
If there is no competition allow as far as the services covered in health insurance, the only place for competition would be in price as well as physician panels. If there is a government run "public option", the only place where competition would be possible would be in the physician panels. A private company that needs to make a profit, cannot compete with the government on price.
Private businesses only enter the market for profit, to make a living.
Eliminate profit, you eliminate the industry.
The liberals have been working on O'care for a decade now, and they seem no closer to "fixing" it than they did then.
The program has huge problems in equity, as Poor States like Alabama are taxed to provide rich states like California with expanded Medicaid.
Some real equity problems here, we'll see how Sleepy Joe addresses this and helps poor states full of "Deplorable Chumps" as he calls them, and as he promised to serve.
The D's have had plenty of power, but they would have had to actually "negotiate", and that goes against their principles. As B. Hussein O. stated "the Republicans can come along, but they have to ride in the back of the bus".
Now, Sleepy Joe says that he will be president for ALL the people, and we will see if he reaches across the aisle. He promised to promote Blessed Fracking and not to disarm the people during the campaign. But I have my doubts, based upon his past record.
