They're Trying To Compare Obamacare With Katrina Now

[NYcarbineer]

This thread sums up the Right's dilemma - they would all love to call this Obama's Katrina; the only problem is, they don't think Bush did anything wrong during Katrina.

I am so tired of "Poor people always could get health insurance, and health care. The problem always has been insurance has to be paid for......."

The better point is tens of millions did not get affordable and accessible quality health care.

Medicaid and Emergency room treatment is FREE and so are the thousands of easily accessible FREE City and County operated clinics and Hospitals. That takes affordable and accessible off of the table.

You do have to make an appointment to a clinic, and the millions of FREE obamaphones that the poor have can be used to do that.

Most of the Doctors at these FREE clinics volunteer their services and are the same Doctors that the paying customers see. That takes quality health care off of the table

Next!

Emergency Room treatment is certainly not free. It costs you and me lots of money to give that "free" treatment.

Someone who gets treated in the emergency room and can't pay for it? The hospital turns it over to a collection agency and they hound them for the money.

Gives a whole new meaning to

Heck of a job, Brownie.

Poor people m ight actually get health insurance. How horrible.

Much worse than letting them drown like kittens like Bush did.

So taxing those that can not afford health insurance is helping the poor?

Poor people can always go to an overcrowded emergency room and get treated with minimum care by an overworked resident, so what are you guys complaining about.

Ummm, yeah.

Jesus, do you people even hear yourselves sometimes?

And under Obamacare they can sign up to wait 3 months for the same service.

Does comparing apple and oranges have any meaning in your world view?

In any case, Republicans are actively trying to sabotage this. The website was never really meant to service 36 or so states that refused to do anything about the exchanges.

But in the long run? This might actually be helping, while pointing out just how dangerous and anti-American conservative governance truly is..

Helping in that it rapidly exposed flaws in the website and overall system.

And exposing conservatives because there alternative to this? Is going back to the way things were..where 45,000 Americans a year were dying due to lack of healthcare, including, famously enough, President Obama's own mother.

Why do people insist that if those who can't afford health care can finally get treatment, that the cost behind the coverage simply goes away? The taxpayer is STILL left paying the bill for treatment that others can't afford. Stop passing the lie that with a national healthcare it won't cost you or me anything to cover someone else's expenses.

We sabotaged it by making them build a shitty website.

He didn't. I can prove it. Make your accusations and I'll show you where you're wrong.

The GOP sabotaged Obamacare by refusing to sign on to the bill, allowing the Democrats to make mistakes that doomed it. It's all the GOP's fault. Oh yeah, then we allowed the no bid contract for the website to go to Michelle's buddies without impeaching Obama. It's our fault. We didnt investigate enough.

Forget it. Once you get beyond bumper sticker statements the libs are lost.
It's Bush Doesnt Care About Black People
and
Good work, Brownie!

Ask for specifics and you're playing unfairly.

That isn't the point, man.

There are folks out there that are actually trying to compare Obamacare with Katrina.

This is ridiculous. Katrina was handled much better than Obamacare has. They've had years to prepare for the rollout of Obamacare and they still got it wrong. Bush had to deal with local officials in New Orleans that refused to cooperate with him, so basically his hands were tied. If the mayor and the Governor refuses to allow him to bring FEMA in how can anyone in their right mind blame him for what happens.

It can be admitted that Obama has handled Obamacare poorly and only compounded the problem with his attempts with EAs to minimize the damage, but don't try and compare Katrina to Obamacare. Katrina was a disaster that was almost impossible to plan for. Obamacare is a disaster that just about everyone in Washington knew would be long before it was totally implemented and yet Obama and the Democrats continued to lie about it. These are totally difference instances.

Ha.Ha. well you've got to admit that to a LIBERAL--Katrina was a total disaster--so this hurts big time. I disagree--Obamacare is the Titanic.

Poor people had and still have health insurance, it's called Medicaid, SCHIPS, etc.

Nice try though.

 

[Kondor3]

Poor people might actually get health insurance...

If the price of those poor people getting insurance ends-up being damned near everybody else either (1) getting cancelled or (2) having their rates jacked-up sky-high...

Well... it may end-up being that The People will decide that the cost of ObamaCare is too high to pay.

Registering their extreme displeasure at the polls for years to come...

You sound like a poster who is ignorant to the harm Obamacare poses to ALL Americans.

Just how superficial and immature do you think WE are?

Are you referring to the VA?http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2005/0501.longman.html

Oddly, the "government healthcare" y'all are so afraid of (the VA and Medicare) score high in customer satisfaction.
