The Ultimate Winner
Ok, that sounds familiar, thanksThat might have been the single payer option. The House passed a public option but the Senate didn'tWasn't that because he knew early on that it had no chance of passing? I didn't know he conceded that early.The Republicans did not have the votes to stop public option. Democrats stopped it. They had the 60 votes needed and they didn't pass it.Without a public option the only other choice is to go without insurance.And the irony of ACA is that it forces people to buy insurance.Most people in America can't stand insurance companies controlling what health care they can have and denying to pay medical bills.
and you think Medicare is any different?...
How? How can ACA force you?
They left out the one and only way to properly bring some competition to the health care insurance industry.
I wish they had included a public option but the republicans said if that happened no one would buy private for profit insurance.
Which should tell everyone that Americans can't stand private for profit insurance companies.
If we had real choice like the republicans say they want us to have, there would have been a public option. Those who are sick and tired of the private for profit insurance companies can finally tell them to bite me. Those who want to stay with that system can.
That is real choice.
Obama caved right away took it off the table when the negotiations barely started.
