Both Kennedy and Roberts are potential votes to keep Obamacare running, hopefully they do!
6-3, both Kennedy and Roberts support ACA! Yahoo!
If the tax credit for the federal exchange is struck down, then the politics for Republicans is very dicey.
“What you replace it with is something that expands competition and empowers consumers and disempowers government from getting between patients and their doctors in three specific reforms. One, you let people purchase health insurance across state lines. That creates a 50 state marketplace that lowers cost and gives you more choices, which expands access. Number two, you expand health savings accounts, so that people can save in a tax advantage way for routine healthcare. And number three, you work to delink health insurance from employment, so health insurance is portable.
“If you or I lose our jobs we don’t lose our life insurance, our car insurance, or our house insurance, there’s no reason we should lose our health insurance, and that’s what causes much of the problem of preexisting conditions.
^^ I agree with every word of this. [Even a broke clock is right twice a day] If Republicans had actually done this after Hillarycare went down, we would never have had to resort to something as dramatic as Obamacare. Unfortunately, the quote from Cruz reflects the GOP ‘smoke and mirror’ rhetoric, not a genuine proposal that they would actually support.
The Health industry was funding the party post-Hillarycare and was not about to let the GOP implement anything of the sort. They would have lost their low-competition gravy train, so it would never happen then, and would not happen now either.
By all means let’s open this back up for “the marketplace” to screw millions of people. After all, they did such a good job of it before. And, if you can’t afford the premiums then you don’t have any choices. Ted the Clown just wants to give away the ranch to the insurance industry like the Repubs gave it away to Big Pharma with Medicare Part D
my friend shattered his leg last year and had no insurance, all the many doctors and clinics offered %50 off their bills if he paid cash, and I mean all of them. It would seem that the medical community is inflating their bills when one is insured, insurance is their cash cow and they are all bellying up to the teats.
There is truth in what you say, but 50% off their bill is not necessarily 50% off what insurance companies pay.
there are laws to prevent price gouging and we don’t have a problem with that, maybe it is time to take a good look at what the medical community is doing.
“there are laws to prevent price gouging and we don’t have a problem with that”
lulz
There are so many candidates in the Republican field and I can find something with almost every candidate that I favor and/or agree with. On the other hand, I usually find more than one thing on which I disagree with each of them.
ObamaCare is in for a rocky road ahead. The Supreme ruling concerning subsidies for state exchanges could all but kill the bill. Even if there is a favorable ruling for ObamaCare, the increase in premiums, higher co-pays, and inferior or diminished care could put the program in jeopardy.
6-3, subsidies are SAFE! YES!!!!
Whatevah.
Bright and Chumley = Tweedledum and Tweedledumber
Reality: They will help the RNC stomp on Cruz like a bug.
Cruz — trailing events, as usual.
Way to go US Supreme Court and as I’ve said before, Ted Cruz is just nasty.
I looked at the draft which said $9958@mk5
