Single payer vote failed
Posted: Jul 27, 2017
Even some dems voted against it.;
Single payer is not a unifying message. Some Democrats - will be up for reelection soon.
[ In Reply To ..]In order for this "Medicare for all" to even be considered they need to work out exactly what spending would be needed, where the money would come from, etc.
Rassmussen: 15 million would opt out of Obamacare - if they could.
[ In Reply To ..]If the individual mandate were to be repealed and Americans were no longer required to purchase the Obamacare-mandated levels of health insurance coverage, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) believes that 15 million Americans would no longer purchase such coverage.[1]
Some, including Jonathan Gruber, believe that the CBO is overestimating the impact of repealing the mandate. Gruber was one of the architects of the healthcare law.[1]
Politically, the impact of these projections is significant since the individual mandate has long been the most unpopular part of Obamacare. Recent polling shows that two-thirds of Americans would like to see it repealed.[2] For many, the idea of the government forcing anybody to buy anything is in conflict with America’s commitment to individual freedom.
Additionally, if the CBO projections are correct, there are 15 million Americans who would directly benefit from the repeal. Typically, when people are directly impacted by a law, their support or opposition is more intense than that of more casual observers.
On the other hand, if Gruber is correct, the Republican plans to repeal and replace Obamacare would have a much smaller impact than the CBO expects.
If the individual mandate were to be repealed, many Americans might be interested in purchasing less comprehensive and less expensive coverage. The CBO has offered no estimates of how many might take advantage of such alternatives. It is currently illegal for insurance companies to offer less expensive plans offering less comprehensive coverage.
It is currently illegal for insurance companies to offer - less expensive plans
[ In Reply To ..]offering less comprehensive coverage.
That pretty much says it all. Is this even America?
Because it was a weak bait and - switch by the
[ In Reply To ..]republicans wanting to show that democrats don't have a plan either - the only flaw in that is that the republicans who has screeched and squawked for 7 years that they would repeal and replace immediately still have nothing! Democrats had no reason to come up with a different plan - they already had the Affordable Care Act!
It was overwhelmingly voted down, with 57 voting "no" - and many Democrats choosing to vote
[ In Reply To ..]"present." There wasn't a single "yes" vote. What? Not one Democrat could tell us how they really feel? Total cowards.
Republicans won’t vote for it. That’s what their refusal to address Obamacare will result in. Many of the RINO's don't want to repeal it either.
Cruz already tried a repeal vote It went nowhere.
So not one Democrat would go on record to support - a single payer system.
[ In Reply To ..]LOL
Nope, a bunch of useless cowards. - LOL
[ In Reply To ..]Brainless idiots!
Nope, it was just a dumb - plan - nothing new
[ In Reply To ..]from the pubs as usual! They are playing games now because they got nuttin' after posturing about getting rid of Obamacare - what a bunch of brainless idiots they are!
All of politics is Kabuki Theater. It's usually Democrats - doing it though. Here's an oldie
[ In Reply To ..]but goodie: "Democrats propose $1.9 trillion increase in debt limit." But then spin it like they reduced the debt!
Elizabeth Warren tried it with gun control. She actually said Republicans want to see guns to ISIS (yes she actually said that).
So Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) proposed a bill that would temporarily block the sale of weapons to individuals in the Terrorist Screening Database, but included important due process protections.
The Democrats were able to defeat Sen. Cornyn’s proposal (which I never understood), but this was all for show.
Democrats do the same thing so they can use it - in the next voting cycle.
[ In Reply To ..]Nothing new here.
So right you are! - Most Americans see
[ In Reply To ..]what a bunch of mindless idiot democrats are in DC and that is why the Republicans won the majority. Again!
LOL
Well doing the same - as democrats
[ In Reply To ..]just proves the theory all along that pubs don't ever have any original ideas!
I'm not going disagree with you. They ran on repealing Obamacare - but they didn't mean it.
[ In Reply To ..]Just like when the Democrats voted for building a wall after 9/11 but they didn't mean it.
This reminds me of something that recently in the Senate. Republicans voted to REPEAL Obamacare, when they knew Obama would veto them - political birdie?
In other words, it’s all lip-service, all the time, because by god we need to win elections to make changes - that we don’t actually intend to make!!
I would laugh, but I’m too pissed about this complete lack of gonads, backbones and honor on the part of almost ever politician!! And both sides use whatever they can in their next campaign ads.
The process gets them undeniably on the record. - Eric Cantor went down in no small
[ In Reply To ..]part because of his role in facilitating illegal immigration and his demonstrations of contempt for the electorate.
Single payer is liberalese for 50% of the people - picking up 100% of the costs.
[ In Reply To ..]x
Obamacare is partially single payer. Medicaid is - single payer. That's why it's
[ In Reply To ..]impossible to "replace."
All theatrics, not reflective of a real vote - Pubs are useless
[ In Reply To ..]They have no viable plan. Repeal without teplace may be viable for those with money and not involved in healthcare or insurance, but this is insanity for those dependent on this system for care or employment.
You people need to be very careful what you wish for.

Physicians For Single PayerJul 24, 2017
The program would be funded by the savings obtained from replacing today’s inefficient, profit-oriented, multiple insurance payers with a single streamlined, nonprofit, public payer, and by modest new taxes based on ability to pay. Premiums would disappear; 95 percent of all households would save money. Patients would no longer face financial barriers to care such as co-pays and deductibles, and would regain free choice of doctor and hospital. Doctors would regain autonomy over patient care. ...
