In answer to the narrator’s question, “is this the change we voted for,” YES!
A question for Democrat lurkers or anyone else.
Since having adult children covered on parents health insurance until 26 is such a good idea, what happen when they turn 27?
Our side had better get rid of using the “Health Care” label. It is either Obamacare or Socialized Medicine.
Just because the Rats named it Health Care Reform, doesn't mean that's what they passed.
Have not heard one complaint from them. What did you hear?
LOL. Like that’s going to hurt Runyan. He got elected because people were ticked off over Obamacare.
please name them, the one I work for was involved in crafting the medicare part of the bill
>>Almost immediately after the House voted to repeal Obama’s health care law, a liberal-leaning nonprofit called the Public Campaign Action Fund announced it would air TV ads targeting a group of potentially vulnerable freshmen Republicans.<<
Targeting vulnerable Republicans? Obviously, didn’t get Presidential memo on civility. Or maybe they did and laughed.
I wish they would add my freshman Mike Grimm (NY 13) to their “list.” It would be nice PR.
Then why was there so much support for it? Answer, by forcing younger people to pay for insurance and then having the government subsidize the purchase they would make out okay on this.
By your logic, the insurance industry is suicidal, because the intent of ObamaCare, when all is said and done, is to create a single-payer system (i.e., government insurance), which would necessarily eliminate private insurers.
Also, HMOs are not insurance; they are a health care program covered by insurance, as are PPOs (which are far superior to HMOs, in my opinion).
It kind of reminds me of when auto liability insurance became mandatory: It was the government and the plaintiff’s bar who demanded that, not the insurance industry. Ditto Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist insurance.
In short, the government required private insurers to write insurance for bad risks.
You must work for California BC/BS.
NO,just a very small Medicare advantage co, never had the “pleasure” to work for BC or BS, did work for united healthcare back in the 90’s
