Healthcare

[Oscar Wilde]

I didn't design it, build it, buy it or break it, I just have to live in it...

And "we" need to fix it or hold those charged with fixing and maintaining to task.

O.W.

It IS going to be repealed. Several lawmakers were on the tube today saying that is on table on Day One....
Embrace the suck!!!

It can't happen quick enough.

People aren't paying, and just opting to get hit with the penalty. As long as that behavior stays the same or gets worse (and those are the options available) then the insurance companies will have to follow the law of supply and demand. It will change, but I wouldn't expect it immediately. The people making money on this are pretty fat at the moment and can wait to see if it goes the way you propose.

Ensure that the health coverage costs more than 8% of your income and claim the exception. No insurance and no penalty.

The IRS also can't charge penalties if you don't pay the SRP, nor can they take collection actions aside from taking your refund. Interest would continue to accumulate until paid.

Why undoing healthcare will be tough

TonyWit, so that pop and thud Wednesday wasn't you. Well you're back. Did the meeting outline the narrative, talking points and near term goals to achieve?

So why won't Obamacare survive not that it's doing awesomely well now considering all the carriers dropping out of the exchanges.

I expect in a fashion you will appreciate these...


Escalating cost, who would of thunk it?

This is 2013 and 2014, cost rose in 2015, 2016 and are scheduled to be for most increasing another 25% for 2017 with some 50%. You have to been incredibly ignorant or a part of the process of Obamacare-passing and maintaining it. It's what legacies are made of...






But what did this administration claim from the top down? And don't forget Obutthole attempted to delay the implementation of Obutthole care via EO but congress halted him, for very good reason. Seems someone has an integrity issue...



So how is the participation rate looking for 2017. I suppose fools and like minded folks will think less competition will reduced cost...

Paul Ryan just announced that along with repealing Obamacare he wants to
phase out Medicare and replace it with private insurance for retirees.

Not sure that would be a terrible thing, necessarily.

However, that and social security reform are things that can't be touched

vox.com is a fake news site. I wouldn't trust any of that site's content.

How about we just repeal it and keep the damn government out of it.

There you go with that stinking COMMON SENSE thing again............ Really, one more time and its off to the re education camps for you!

i want to pay the doctor with a chicken.

I've always felt that health insurance should be like auto insurance.

Your auto insurance doesn't pay for oil changes and other maintenance items.
If health insurance didn't pay for doctor's visits, that cost would go way down.

Government costs add 25% to medical costs.
And the prescription drug thing is way out of control.

Same drug elsewhere is way less than here

thank you!
