We have got to get representative to abolish Obamacare, insurance is no good for healthy individuals and we end up paying for illegals as well as Medicaid recipients, it is just not fair for the working class.

You could have had Medicare for all for less money, so suffer. - nm

during the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust when we turned away boatloads of Jews seeking refuge. As a country, we still feel the shame of that decision. If interested, read the book "The Abandonment of the Jews".

But they didn't get welfare benefits, Medicaid, etc. - These didn't exist back then.

which sounds like Obamacare doesn't it? I guess half a billion is chump change now.

Thanks Obama!

Where would you rather see your tax... - sm

dollars go, food stamps for Wal-Mart employees? FYI, Obama had nothing to do with phones for the poor. A little research goes a long way.

I would rather my taxes go to MY family, and Obama's pal - Carlos Slim, has made billions in Obamaphones

Lifeline for the poor was started by a republican....sm - VTMT

Ronald Reagan. Transferring the program over to include TrakPhone cell phones was done by a republican FCC director in 2005.

Since 1985, the Lifeline program has provided a discount on phone service for qualifying low-income consumers to ensure that all Americans have the opportunities and security that phone service brings, including being able to connect to jobs, family and emergency services. In 2005, Lifeline discounts were made available to qualifying low-income consumers on pre-paid wireless service plans in addition to traditional landline service. Lifeline is part of the Universal Service Fund.

The Lifeline program is available to eligible low-income consumers in every state, territory, commonwealth, and on Tribal lands. Consumers with proper proof of eligibility may be qualified to enroll.

NOPE! FDR then Clintoon. - AZ

Telecommunications Act of 1934 was the genesis of the Universal Service Fund. 1934 = FDR

The Communications Act of 1934 includes in its preamble a reference to universal service. It calls for "rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges" to "all the people of the United States." Communications Act of 1934 - Title I, Sec. 1 [47 U.S.C. 151]

The Act was rewritten in 1996 - that would have been Bubba Clintoon's administration.

That's a selfish way to think. - .

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’ ...

When discussing the ACA or Obamacare, whichever you call it, remember that it is literally like comparing apples and oranges (and grapes, pineapple and maybe even potatoes). Each state has different prices and different plans from the federal plan. Some states now have only one company offering a plan through their state exchange. Each plan has a different monthly cost, a different deductable and it goes on and on and on. The requirements are different from state to state ...

For those MTs on here cheering the repeal of Obamacare keep in mind that many of your fellow IC MTs are on Obamacare currently and with health issues. They were unable to secure insurance prior to the ACA and today are covered for their health issues at an affordable rate.
