We should let the Red states secede from Obamacare!
Posted: Oct 8, 2013
I like the article (link below) and think it has merit. Let the residents who so dislike the Affordable Care Act continue with the current system of full insurance company control and denial and exclusions and ridiulously unaffordable premiums and strain on emergency rooms, etc. They can have it! Talk about death panels! Try getting coverage for pre-existing illnesses, especially if you've been laid off or have switched companies! My state would really like the single-payer option and even more affordable health care modeled like more progressive nations who have excellent, better health care than what the USA has, and this would free us up to do so. ;
Abandon 8 million to rot in red state gerrymanderland? - Gee thanks.
[ In Reply To ..]There are 2,036,000 of us in Texas alone. Not all of us are crazed Cruz and Farenthold fans. We who live as political prisoners in the state we love get the shaft under that plan and shouldn't be put in the position to emigrate in search of access to the health care coverage we've gone so long without. There should be some mechanism states who opt-in could use to throw us a couple of million life preservers.
I'm so disgusted with the stupidity of our outgoing governor and the appallingly short-sighted SCOTUS decision, I could just SCREAM.
That would be awesome! But you'd quickly run out of revenue.nm - tiredMT

ObamaCare Slaps States With $15 Billion In New CostsJan 05, 2015
Thirty-six states that rely on private managed care programs to provide medical services to all or some of their Medicaid recipients are facing an added ObamaCare tax. According to a report by Milliman consulting actuaries, states that contract with Medicaid managed care plans face up to $15 billion in added costs over 10 years for their share of the law’s tax on private health insurance. States will pay even if they strongly oppose ObamaCare and are refusing to establish healt ...
Illinois Is The Obamacare Of The United States. It's BankruptJun 22, 2017
The company that runs the multi-state MegaMillions and Powerball lotteries announced that it was pulling out of the state of Illinois. Why? Because the state bankrupt. It's had a century of almost uninterrupted rule by a corrupt Democrat machine, and can no longer be relied upon to actually pay lotto winners. Blame Blagojevich and the pension plan. All the money that is collected in taxes in Illinois now goes to pay pensions, so the state just raised taxes. I am so disgusted with Illino ...

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’ ...

Toomey States The Obvious.May 01, 2013

Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who crafted a proposal with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to extend background checks to firearms purchased at gun shows and online, said the measure failed to win the 60 votes it needed to win passage due to Republican ...
