The stupidity of Obamacare....

Post by SuperHornet »

This COULD be apocryphal, but whether Trump said/wrote this or not, it nails the nation's complaints about this stupid "law" on the head....

If Donald Trump had ever said anything that intelligent it would be on Fox News (repeated forever)
Instead he is just filing for bankruptcies and running his "gifted" Empire poorly

I doubt Trump said it, but let's focus on the words, not the voice...

Is it true or not...is it an exaggeration or is it accurate...

The Affordable Care Act will be just fine, people. If it does not affect you, shut up and let it run its course. Anything else is obstruction and partisan wailing. I chuckle when I see Conk talking head pretending to be looking out for their constituents who are "in an uproar" about the new law. :rofl: They just wanna fuck Obama, nothing more, and the public is starting to realize it.

If you have a good job, decent health and private health insurance, enjoy it and STFU.

The problem is, people want this handed to them. :coffee:

We better start listening to Pelosi, we have to pass it to find out what is in there. We will soon see how big of a pile of shit this legislation is. I will take my myopic view and can tell you it is severely affecting my insurance and certainly not in a good way. My premiums are up a lot more than they typically go up and my high deductible plan nearly tripled it's deductible to go up like it did. I talked with HR and if they hadn't done that, it would have priced it out of most people's reach.

The Republican Congress has had a really long time to offer up an alternative solution...
"Obama Care Sucks"... we get it, but it's not really an answer

The United States is waiting and we're getting crickets from the Republicans as far as a real answer

we are precisely where we belong (a self inflicted quagmire)

and nothing productive (solution wise) is coming from that side of the fence

Cappy,

Serious question: In 18 years in the credit union industry, our health insurance rates have gone up every year. The lowest I remember is about 6%, with the highest being 11%. This year, the first year of Obamacare, our rates are going up 31%. A 3x increase. Do you think that's a coincidence?

They're analogous to the intelligent design crowd who think that if your theory is wrong that means their theory is right when it isn't the same thing at all.

The point is, gentlemen, that it DOES affect you. It affects EVERYONE, in a NEGATIVE way. Even if you already have healthcare through your employer.

31%. THIRTY ONE PERCENT. How many companies can swallow a 31% increase in healthcare costs and NOT pass on some/all of that increase to their employees? If you two halfwits don't think this law is going to negatively impact the 90% of Americans who ALREADY had healthcare through their employers you're completely clueless.

AZ, Cappy will have some serious mental health expenditures coming up, and mj needs some expensive cosmetic surgery on his anus, so you can see why both support other folks paying for their healthcare. :nod:

And that works both ways. If Obamacare is a colossal failure, the conks should reap the rewards next election...if they quit stepping on their dicks shutting down the government.

:nod:

the Debt ceiling is a MUCH more viable fight for the GOP than this. And a more justifiable reason for a government shutdown at least in public opinion.

The fact of the matter is that this is a major problem with the current two party system. One side can decide to take their ball and go home.
