Government now needs 2 BILLION more to roll out Obamacare.
Posted: Jun 22, 2013
I can't believe people were duped into this "health care" scam. It's not about health care, how many times do we have to say it. It's about CONTROL.
;
I imagine there were a lot - of folks in the '30s
[ In Reply To ..]who thought Social Security was about control, and some in the '60s who thought Medicare was about control as well. If you think you are being controlled by SS, then by all means, forward me your SS check and stay away from doctors when you turn 65.
But they said it would be cheaper. - Cheaper.

Folks?? Is that a buzz word? - It was yesterday.

OP, the goal is to bring good healthcare to EVERYONE. - Did you think it'd be free? nm

GOP taking time out - from
[ In Reply To ..]their jam-packed abortion-killing and scandal-mongering agendas to cackle about the havoc their sequestration recalcitrance is wreaking on the rest of us? No surprise there.
Have it your way, spouting liberal rhetoric - I just hope (sm) - msg
[ In Reply To ..]that the Republicans find some way to not give them the money. Obamacare fail.
I guess some partisans view deliberate sabotage - of
[ In Reply To ..]a program designed for the benefit of all Americans as something to crow about. Don't be caught off guard over the next couple of election cycles when you find out how many others don't follow that twisted logic.
This whole thing is a scam. It's bad for all. - Wise up.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
The scam is - being told
[ In Reply To ..]that problems in our health care system will simply "work themselves out" without anyone even making an effort to address it, no matter how poor the effort. Even though they may not love them 100%, I doubt many in developed countries who offer health care to their citizens consider them to be "scams."
You're making things up. No one said they would (sm) - Not a C
[ In Reply To ..]"work themselves out." Healthcare needs to be addressed, but not this way. Like I said, wise up.
OK oh "wise one" - who was
[ In Reply To ..]addressing it before the current administration (other than HC) and what were their solutions?
*crickets*
Really? What pray tell do or has the GOP EVER - had to offer
[ In Reply To ..]regarding health care reform except status quo, protecting health care industry corporate interests and privatizing Medicare? If they had their way, it would be thrown into the market place with as few regulations as possible, treated just like any commodity and left there to sink or swim. Who does or does not have access to the "product" would be of no issue as long as there were plenty of big money being circulated in the consumption and stock-holding arenas.
And a BIG Amen!! to that! Thank you for - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]writing the TRUTH!!
You know what, Libby and other poster? You're right - (sm) - Wise one.
[ In Reply To ..]the Republicans have done nothing in the way of a "healthcare" plan - until now. But it would be better to do nothing than pass this monstrosity of a *** bill (in the dark of night and by bribery I might add) that will do nothing for healthcare and help destroy the United States. But that was his plan after all, wasn't it. The Republicans did have some good ideas, but this *** wouldn't listen to a word of it.
actually - NK
[ In Reply To ..]The Affordable Care Act has already helped me. Got a check to help me with medication costs when I hit my donut hole. And my government-run health care plan is wonderful. Too bad some people fear and hate "the government" - seems to me like they're cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
LOL - the government run HC plan hasn't even - taken effect yet. Glad you like yours though. (sm
[ In Reply To ..]If however, you are talking about Medicare, did you know that in 2014, doctors payments were going to be cut 40%? Don't think it will be so great then, but glad you like it now.
considering - NK
[ In Reply To ..]what I had before, paying a little over $500 a month for health insurance I got no benefit from because of the high deductible in order to get a premium as low as $500, no drug plan, and no preventive care coverage, I'll be just fine with it. Thanks for your concern. Too bad you felt the need to insult my intelligence with your subject line though.
So let's get this - straight...
[ In Reply To ..]you are mad because doctor payments for Medicare aka "government health care" will be cut 40%, thus allowing the rest of us under 65 to have access to some type of health care? I don't get it.
Wrong. High risk pool went into effect June 2010 - and
[ In Reply To ..]the immensely popular government-administered Medicare and Medicaid programs have been around since 1965. Kindly cough up your sources on that bogus 40% claim. If you encounter difficulty, try Googling HR 574 or reading about the history of "doc fix," particularly the prevailing lack of Congressional will to find a more permanent solution beyond the current yearly Medicare dramas we witness in 11th hour sessions before they take off for their protracted holiday break. They prefer to keep Medicare providers and patients on pins and needles year after year wondering whether the Ebenezer collective will come up with the prize turkey in time or not.
Gasp!! 2 BILLION?!! - just saying
[ In Reply To ..]Let's see if you can quote the amount of dollars (and lives for that matter) lost in Bush's (fake) wars...
Hint: Lots more than 2 gasp) BILLION.
And what does it have to do with OP post? Plenty! the $$ being spent to work on healthcare help US HERE AT HOME. The $$$$$$ spent invading foreign countries EARN us enemies and line the pockets of the already rich and powerful.
u do the math
That's all you folks ever have.....sighing.....deeply..... - Address the issue.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
While you are sighing, try some research - just saying
[ In Reply To ..]Or perhaps you believe its better to spend a ka-jillion on fake wars than to spend a fraction of that on infrastructure, education, and yes, healthcare.
I am addressing the issue - the issue of where we spend taxpayer $$$...
Like shrimp on a treadmill? Solyndra? Underground - tunnels for turtles? Like that?
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Brava!! - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
It seems that America's only export is WAR!! - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
So why is it still going on - 5 years from inauguration - #1? (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]Not a very good way to heal the planet, now is it?
It's been going on for a DECADE already. (NM) - Libby

ObamaCare Slaps States With $15 Billion In New CostsJan 05, 2015

Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...
2.1 Billion.....Sep 25, 2014
