It is designed to collapse. Then single payer totalitarian medicine rationed by the Federal Government. How obvious could it be?
It will simply be repealed....although I don’t think that will happen before 2012. Hopefully, I could be wrong about that and, due to a Supreme Court decision, the whole bill will fall.
Earlier this month, Obama was at 111 ‘waivers’, and counting...
Will the people vote out the Obamanation or will do the foolish now outnumber conservatives in America.
2012 is the test and may well be the last chance for America to survive the communist coup the DC democrats have started.
It might collapse what’s left of the economy.
I don’t know that the current system has “worked well” for employers. When your profits are growing at single digits (or not at all), it is unacceptable for health care costs to be several times the rate of inflation. The fact is that health care is sucking the life out of the Economy. Obamacare made it worse by expanding mandates and cutting fees to providers.
We are headed a system where everyone has excellent health care (on paper), but can’t get any under the official “rules”. Only those who pay under the table will actually be treated.
We need to seek a completely privatized solution -- don't get your health coverage from the government, and don't get it from your employer either. Make it like auto insurance. Let Geico handle it.
Atlas is just about to shrug. The government should get out of health care. All of the insurance industry and “benefits” came from a government cap in salaries. Now it’s a monster. Every penny spent administering the various plans is a “cost of health care” but not one of those pennies relates to actually providing health care.
Yes, it will go down in flames like a 4 engine Jumbo jet trying to take off with one engine and having a engine failure.
Someone with good photoshop/Gimp skills a pic is in order.
111 ‘waivers’ which ‘Exempted’ companies from applying “Obamacare” to more than 1.175 million individuals.
It seems to me that some carefully articulated, 14th Amendment-based, “equal protection under the law” law-suits could pretty quickly ‘exempt’ the rest of us.
Not to mention the idea of being un-Constitutional.
Like many others, I have been making that same argument since the beginning of this debacle. Obama and his leftist buddies NEVER intended this to work. That is one of the reasons why there was no need for anyone to read the bill before they voted to pass it.
Government Employees' Insurance Co.?
Not just a lizard on your desk...
Yes, of course.
It is transparently Leninist (the worse, the better). Its entire design is to "heighten the contradictions" and thereby destroy the health care system, allowing communism to emerge from the rubble. It is pure dialectical materialism.
Sheesh! Doesn't anybody STUDY Lenin anymore?
I currently have excellent health insurance through my employer. I’m sure it costs a fortune. Between the cost of providing the coverage and the cost of complying with all these new and intrusive government regulations, I couldn’t blame the company for dropping coverage altogether. This scares the crap out of me because I am 50 years old with a husband who has diabetes and I know I could NEVER afford to buy insurance on the open market. Affordable my ass.
I think the waivers are for just ONE year.
It has the touch of Odumbo - whatever he touches generally does fail. What do expect from the most incompetant pissant in the world? Midas has the golden Touch! Odumbo has the touch of Lead
IMHO...the investment banks basically looted Medicare and stole the American health care system to pay for their bad bets. And Congress aided and abetted them-in every way.
There is not a single good reason We the People face the present economic circumstances. It can be summed up as the consequence of professional malpractice, by bankers and brokers, complicated by political and legislative professional malpractice in Congress. This whole situation clearly disabuses the need for a “professional” political class.
