Great.
Now WITF does that have to do with the Republican threats to repeal the ACA?
How can insurers invest in cultivating market opportunities if they don't know if the rules will change on the whim of Republicans and cost them a fortune?
"....WITF does that have to do with the Republican threats to repeal the ACA?"
Gads, you're a moron.
There was never a need for ObamaCare.
Reagan solved the problem in '86.
But...the Left expected the brain-dead, you, to fall right in line and turn over 17% of GDP to big government.
And, you jumped right through the hoop.
Did they give you a doggie treat????
BTW.....prior to ObamaCare, the US had the best healthcare in the world, as proven by the polls:
• Quinnipiac University, Sept. 2009. "How satisfied are you with your health insurance plan?" 54 percent very satisfied, 34 percent somewhat.Total: 88 percent satisfaction.
• Quinnipiac University, June 2009. "How satisfied are you with your health insurance plan?" 49 percent very satisfied, 36 somewhat satisfied.Total: 85 percent satisfaction.
• ABC News/Washington Post, June 2009. "For each specific item I name, please tell me whether you are very satisfied with it, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. ... Your health insurance coverage." 42 percent very satisfied, 39 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 81 percent satisfaction.
• Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, May 2009. "Overall, how satisfied are you with your current health insurance plan?" 21 percent extremely satisfied, 37 percent very satisfied, 30 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 88 percent satisfaction.
• ABC News/Washington Post, June 2009. "For each specific item I name, please tell me whether you are very satisfied with it, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. ...

• Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, Aug. 2008. "Please rate your satisfaction with each of the following aspects of your health care. ... Quality of health care I receive through my (health insurance) plan." 31 percent extremely satisfied, 41 percent very satisfied, 23 somewhat satisfied. Total: 95 percent satisfaction.
• Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, Aug. 2008. "Please rate your satisfaction with each of the following aspects of your health care. ... Overall satisfaction with my health (insurance) care plan." 23 percent extremely satisfied, 38 percent very satisfied, 30 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 91 percent satisfaction.

If you average these eight scores, the total rate of satisfaction is 87 percent. In all but one poll, the satisfaction level was below Will's stated level of 95 percent.
One poll, taken five months before Obama was inaugurated, did come up with 95 percent satisfaction. But alone among these eight polls, that survey asked participants about the "quality of health care I receive through my (health insurance) plan." While we decided that the wording was close enough to merit inclusion on our list, the modest difference in satisfaction levels may stem from the way the question was phrased. Many people feel more warmly toward their doctors than they do toward their insurers.
So, while one poll with unique wording pegged satisfaction at 95 percent, the average of all relevant polls over a two-year period was eight points lower than what Will cited. However, Will is correct that the levels of satisfaction with one's own health insurance are consistently high. Indeed, they're extraordinarily high, when one considers how rarely surveys find such high levels of agreement among Americans. Since Will portrayed the larger point accurately, even while modestly overstating the number, we rate his comment Mostly True.
Will says that 95 percent of people with health insurance are satisfied with it
Now....can we agree that you are a moron, and exactly what the Democrats want?
Gads, you're a moron.
There was never a need for ObamaCa
You are a moron indeed. EMTALA is what causes the explosive growth in cost.
Also, EMTALA was never really funded resulting in losses for the hospitals and all it really does it make the ER's stabilize you and send you on your way or admit you running up thousands of dollars in medical bills.
You're not just an imbecile....a lying imbecile.
You're trying to pretend that the government losing money is any consideration to Leftists???????
