“Republicans kept saying that the majority of Americans didn’t want obamacare.”
And my radio station tells me that the songs they play are my favorites. And every phone bank in the world tells me my call is very important to them.
Talk is cheap. If the Republicans had worked half as hard to make a better system than to trash-talk this one, perhaps the country, and the Republican party, would both be better off.
No Mr. King Obamacare is not a set of free market choices. If we look at the federal site that covers the majority of states there is essentially just one plan with four levels of deductable available: Platinum, gold, silver, and bronze. You get the same coverage in each with a varying deductable.Costs are roughly the same too varying some state by state depending on the companies participating.It is also not “free market” that you are compelled to have health insurance that meets the Obamacare standard and that both better and worse plans than that standard are either made illegal or heavily penalized.A free market for routine care would have you simply paying for incidental and common medical care out of pocket without an insurer and only resorting to insurance for large infrequent expenses like a hospital stay.
Maybe because Obamacare is not the best answer? I don’t know; I suggest you ask the Dems themselves, rather than assuming they will blame the Repubs.
As I have stated in the past, I have no love for Obamacare, other than the fact that I admire the fact that he is the first president since Mr. Nixon to actually institute changes to a failing system. Mr. Nixon tried mightily. Mr. Ford tried a little. Mr. Reagan and Mr. Bush the Elder, and Mr. Bush the Lesser…..well, just die already. Mr. Clinton….well, we all know where Hillarycare went.
Having said that, change is not always progress. Single payer, single payer, single payer……
