That's what some people said about Social Security.


Wasn't around for that. However SS will run dry on it's own. Way too many on it... and fewer and fewer contributing. My old neighbors fat f*** 20 something is on it. He does nothing but sit on his azz and drink all day. He has chosen not to work.


Now what other program sounds like that?


The ACA will fail OR the Feds will keep pumping billions into it.


You're touting about Gov. Spence taking them money.


Massachusetts did too...

Eagle - you know damn well that people here have posted enough links to show that Obamacare was based on Romneycare:

President Obama: Romneycare Was the Model for Obamacare — Press Releases — Barack Obama



Both were largely drawn by insurers who profit from mandated purchases of such coverage as previously discussed on this forum. There are, of course, better alternatives but the GOP has yet to offer any.


Back peddling are you?

Interesting if true since Massachusetts insurers wrote the law.

Yes the GOP has offered alternatives and the ruler of the US Senate will not hear of it.

Vermont, Connecticut, Arizona Face Obamacare Premium Hikes | The Daily Caller

And the hits keep coming.

Q1 - not at all --- said from the beginning that I wanted full coverage as promised in the 2008 DNC platform


Q2 - what are those alternatives?

And if I posted them you'd change your mind? I think not...you're a zealot.


South Carolina did not expand Medicaid - therefore, not Obama's fault.

She had Obamacare...it is his fault as well as the Democrat party exclusively.

Four million American taxpayers will be forced to pay the Obamacare individual mandate non-compliance tax in 2016, according to a newly released analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.

The report, titled Payments of Penalties for Being Uninsured Under the Affordable Care Act: 2014 Update, includes a gingerly-worded reminder ​that Americans will be liable for the tax as part of their annual tax-filing process:

“Among the uninsured people subject to the penalty, many are expected to voluntarily report on their tax returns that they are uninsured and to pay the amount owed.”

The CBO data also show that the overwhelming majority of those liable for the are part of low-to-middle income households, a clear violation of President Obama’s promise against “any form of tax increase” on Americans making less than $250,000 per year.

J'accuse! Refusal to expand Medicaid is a crime against humanity.





J'accuse! Refusal to expand Medicaid is a crime against humanity.




A Harvard-SUNY study published in January 2014 demonstrates that in those states that refuse to expand Medicaid
1) From 7115 to 17104 will die unnecessarily each year.
2) More than 700,000 cases of depression will go untreated.
3) Nearly 425,000 cases if diabetes will go untreated.
4) More than 195,000 will go without mammograms, and nearly 425,000 will forego PAP smears.
5) Over 240,000 people will incur catastrophic medical expenditures.
The politicians I accuse are persecuting the poor and weak in their states (an identifiable group with incomes below the poverty level) for political ends and in accordance with their political ideology.
These politicians are knowingly condemning thousands to death. That is systematic mass murder of the poor.
According to the study, these politicians are intentionally "causing great suffering or serious bodily or mental injury" to the poor.






Hey Eagle - on the contrary, it is those of you who applaud death that are the zealots.





By the way, the ACA forbids discrimination against transgenders:




http://transequality.org/Resources/HealthCareRight_March2012_FINAL.pdf




Under the Affordable Care Act, it is illegal for any
health program or organization that is funded or administered by the federal government to discriminate against you because you are transgender, or because you are perceived as not conforming to gender stereotypes.


Therefore, blame the patient's state, not Obamacare.
