Obamacare Architect: Lack of Transparency Was Key Because ‘Stupidity Of The American Voter’ Would Have Killed Obamacare

[JohnR! 5,495]

Wrong. We The People voted for it.

the democrats voted for it

you, me, and the people didn't get a vote

Here is the problem. Obama care sucks, I agree. It needs major overhauls. The Repubs want to repeal it. Ok and replace it with what ?

We already pay almost 2 X times as a % of GDP in health costs compared to other 1st world nations. We are already paying for health care for everyone, but at champagne price. every man woman and child should be picked up in a Limo for their doctor appt for what we pay.

But you argue, we have the best in health care in the world. No we don't. Most of the countries with single payer systems score as well or better than us in most categories for 1/2 the cost.

I am a convert , a believer . I have looked at the data and read a lot of material. I know it hurts to admit we are not number 1 and suck at something, but it's the truth.

We all holler about lowering taxes and keeping more of what we earn. Can you imagine lowering the cost of something by 9% of our total GDP

It's like drowning in the ocean and you are picked up by a leaky old raft. The raft is not ideal and you have to bail a lot. So you decide to scrap it. Guess what at least you had a raft, then you will have nothing.

I just had an epitif ephipna oh what the hades I saw the light

Obamacare is a bloated inefficient pig. At least we got out of the water. Now lets go about the business of fixing the raft. Repealing Obamcare with nothing in place is insanity when out healthcare costs are so high.

If we could repeal it and go from 19&% of gdp back to 8, it would make sense, but to repeal it and watch care continue to climb is nuts

I honestly don't know much about Obamacare - or anything else about healthcare. But I know my insurance sucks.

I seriously doubt a single payer system is on the Republican's radar, but I'd love to see it and would be behind it 100%.

Tort reform

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

The problem is that the bill didn't have any pictures, which made comprehension virtually impossible for the motley crew. Just way too many words...

I cannot believe you came out and admitted to the fact that you would not be able to comprehend it.

Since you're making such astounding progress, perhaps you can read this and get back to us with a brief summary:

That should keep you busy for a while. And no, there are no pictures in it.

Tort reform

Na that's a repub Red Herring. Like building a wall. Lawsuits are less than 1.5 % of the cost of healthcare, many are legitimate .
