Stupid and wrong. Just willful ignorance on display.



It is wilful ignorance to think that Donald Trump wants Obamacare repealed and replaced with anything but single-payer. He was even pushing for it indirectly in the debate with Clinton.

What if forcing right means getting it correct the first time and figuring out the most feasibly conservative option possible? Are you willing to wait 6-18 months for them to get it right? Don't be like punknugget.

When State lines are opened up across the board for health care; single payer gov insurance is nearly impossible.

The thing is, no one trusts the republicans to really do anything regarding ObamaCare in 6-28 months. They are like the democrats, lip-service.

They better do something while they have the political capital to do so.

Are you going to admit that Trump was just repeating the one phrase he understood from Rubio's earlier answer in the debate which got applause? That he then decided to keep repeating that line over and over again in every other debate all the while giving every liberal talking point about health care ('people would die in the street!') and just hoping that people would not care?

I don't know when but the administration of healthcare in the US will come to a huge crossroads soon. You simply cannot allow people to enter the insurance market when they have recently acquired a life threatening illness like stage 4 cancer or significant heart disease. The mandate that coverage extends to preexisting conditions that so many want is simply not financially sustainable for insurance companies.

Are there truly any health care companies still on board with ObamaCare? Isn't this the last one to drop ObamaCare? Or are they down to one now?

This should get it's own thread. With the Flynn stuff no one is paying attention.

And yes, Boosie, if the republicans don't act they won't get another chance. Funny thing is, a few months ago they were giddy saying; they all knew damned well they better adhere to Trumps policies-- as thats what the American people voted for...

Has Trump acted on term limits yet? I heard mumblings, did the pubs vote on it, discuss it? The cancer in DC was metastasized with W and Obama. You at least must admit, that Trump has a fight on all quarters from DC all around and the media.

One big arse chemo shot is needed but where and how does he inject it?

That happened to get it passed. The majority of Americans didn't want it. Yet they passed it anyway.

There are still 30 Million without insurance so all it accomplished was getting the poor subsidies and raising the rates for working Americans. It's a shite law and there might be some tenants of the bill that are good, it is a disaster in its entirety. You trying to say otherwise is just showing you are the one most uniformed on the issue.

Humana is the first one to publicly announce they were completely pulling out of it. Some have pulled out of certain states, but not a complete vacation. Aetna, Blue Cross, United, etc. all are still participating, but participation varies greatly from state to state.


Probably start seeing more pulling out following the news of the IRS stopping enforcement of the individual mandate. Plus I doubt the Trump administration is going to put any advertising effort into it when renewals come up later this year. My theory is this intentional on their part to create more chaos and uncertainty in the market to further justify their repeal efforts.

42 Times.

42 times the house passed repeal while Obama was in office.

Does anything more need to be said?


They knew it would never be passed into law and would not have to deal with the fallout?

The IRS gets 1095-C's to verify a persons health insurance. As well as, all of those on medicare and ObamaCare get forms duplicated to themselves and the IRS. If a tax payer does not have these forms they are to be charged and the amount deducted from their refunds/and or owed to the IRS.

The mandate was ordered by POTUS Obama via a crap load of documents as high as 4-6 feet-- snuck in-- in the middle of the night.

Obama-politically- didn't want this enforced. It was set to start in 2016 taxes. LINK

It is a good thing it is not enforced at POTUS Trumps call.

This is what POTUS Trump meant when he said the democrats should own this and they (the republicans) must tread lightly because they could wear this around their necks. But Trump did the right thing and stopped the tax/mandate. Unlike... what Obama would have done; as it is well known that Obama set up ObamaCare to be a time bomb AFTER he left office.

This is the only reason I believe voters will have a little more patience on ObamaCare. It is a huge fricking mess.

I am wondering if Rubios' private dinner with POTUS tonight; is a bridge to the pubs to work on ObamaCare replacement?

And he was out of the race by the time I got to vote in the primary. So, what's the 'gotcha' here?
