Something like 15 million lower income people, who previously didn't qualify, will be stuffed into state Medicaid programs. Most of these systems are already overburdened and short on services. When some patients get tired of waiting they simply go to an emergency room. Some even call an ambulance to get quicker service.
Almost a trillion dollars is being cut from Medicare at a time when tens of millions of baby-boomers are entering the system. The White House does alright when dealing with fabricated crises—global warming, voter disenfranchisement, war on women. But we are about to see how they deal with a catastrophe of their own making.
Repubs need to force all or nothing and fall on their swords if need be for America. One year halfassed delay is wrong.
I do believe some collateral damage has to happen in order for the people wake up to the damage of universal healthcare. It is like telling the kid to not touch the hot stove, you can tell some of them until you are blue in the face, but they will still insist on touching it until they get burned.
Let's face it. Republicans and conservatives have been making these arguments for years. Like the nagging mom about the hot stove, they ain't listening.
Our side has given, given, and given some more to the point that we are in this awful mess now. Where is the upside on this PR of capitulation?
Sigh...America is gong to learn a very hard lesson and in many ways ...the sooner the better.
The first step is to restore honesty at the polls in requiring voter ID, axing absentee voting except in real need, and disenfranchising able-bodied people on public assistance.
The second step is to have a party (I think it's too late for the Republican party, it is a zillion times more "damaged goods" than even Sarah Palin herself) that Democrats sick of government tyranny who would never vote for a Republican, and Republicans sick of government tyranny who will neither vote for Romney nor a Democrat, could unite behind.
Americans need a place they can go if they want to vote for limiting government, cutting government back, restoring freedom, in all areas of American life, from schools to agriculture to business to medical care to personal choices. Yes, personal moral choices are dicated by the leftist state. The less government, the more moral people can be in America. For example, no one on the right proposes hunting down and persecuting openly homosexual people, at least none that I know.
But the left hunts down and persecutes businesses and individuals and even youth groups that freely, peacefully, civilly, make the moral choice to tell the openly homosexual, "go someplace else." It is morally judmental and tyrannical, and leads to bad consequences.
We need a party that unites in love of freedom, disdain for governnment presumption and pretense, one that disillusioned leftists and independent righties can agree on. Right now, our tax dollars are used against us to nourish immorality in American society and call it "compassion." Cut government, and people will return to being infinitely more moral.
They can also return to being more prosperous. But as it is now, there is no viable political venue for such votes.
Yikes. That sounds more to me like a reason to totally oppose delay! Its meltdown is a good thing.
Yes, it would be gratifying to watch the rats beloved mcconnelcare crash and burn in a sadistic sort of way, but dont forget that real Americans would be harmed as a result.
They would/will be equally harmed either way. Delay can only give advantage to the statists. Real Americans would protect other real Americans from all that much harm -- doctors, nurses, and pharmacists are people, not anonymous ranks.
I agree.
