Death panels have been here for a long time. They are the lowly insurance company employees following their employers’ order to maximize insurance company profits by denying you health care that you thought you had paid for. The ACA does NOT have death panels. You probably think Sara Palin is an intellectual, too.
That would be good advice to the Republican party. If they continue to run clueless candidates like Mitt Romney, or any number of people who are certain about everything but know nothing, like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, they are doomed to continued losses. If Republicans want to defeat Democrats, they’d better find a more qualified group of candidates. Not everyone feels that military spending is more important than……anything. Not everyone thinks that the most important priority is to take rights away from gay people, or to turn the US into a Fundamentalist Christian theocracy.
Many voters, like myself, are tired of the crap coming from the Democratic party, but find that the alternatives coming from the Republican camp are even worse. We’re waiting, but we’re smart enough not to hold our collective breath.
You have absolutely no idea what health insurance on the individual market costs or covers. Although the prices on the exchanges may seem shocking to someone who has either their employer or the government picking up the premium, the prices on the exchanges in many cases are far lower than the prices on the open market. Talk about not doing research….
“Obama has to be getting some kick backs from this.”
Obama had very little to do with this. It was rammed down his throat exactly as it has been rammed down yours, by the GOP, because Romney and the insurers wrote most of it for Massachusetts.
It would be more accurate to call it RomneyCare. Another case of the GOP refusing to own their own problem child.
Quite right it doesn’t fix anything for anybody but the insurers – in fact, what it really does is preserve the status quo.
Preserving the status quo is the GOP’s job. The Dems are charged with other tasks.
Hmm, I won’t need to sign up for “Obamacare”, as I have several options including an existing ’group plan". WHICH, the annual average increase under the Bush years in premiums was 13% annually, with increasing deductibles. My note for next year says only a 3% increase is proposed. Hmmm, is it possible that the REAL pressure on providers is actually going to be lower increases, as they will be mandated to pay MORE for actual medical care, and LESS will be allowed to go into “overhead”, which is called PROFITS?
Interesting that a lot of the dittohead brigade claims are turning out to be like that phony cost of Obama’s trips overseas. “Conservative” inflation of BS is running a lot higher than “economic” inflation. Which, if the economy is already so “damaged” by Obamacare, why is the stock market at the highest marks in history? BTW INsurance companies STILL WIN under the Obamacare options, included by Republican pressures.

I see the low information posters still believe in death panels.
