This is such a ridiculous point of view I stopped reading here. You want to have great medical doctors, who put 12 years of their life into schooling and rack up huge amounts of debt... and then be able to tell them who / where and when they can work? That they HAVE to have certain clients? Good luck with that. This is why intelligent discussions can't be had on this topic.
Riverman said that doctors shouldn't deny someone based on who that person receives insurance from. (As long as the doctors office receives the money that they were due, why should they care who the insurance is?) He didn't say anything as drastic as you suggested. You are correct about this being the reason we can't hold a discussion on this topic; people keep over-dramatizing what others say.
The government isn't doing the screwing, but it's holding people down so the insurance companies can screw much harder with far less effort...
I don't claim to know what all of this is about, but I'm convinced you don't know much better. I've seen your predictions right after Obama was elected and nothing has panned out the way you said it would. And you think you know what Obamacare is all about and what's behind it all and are going to let me know it's not for the reasons I would like to believe . . . okey dokey
The Koch brothers spent $100 million to build a new medical center that was completed earlier this year, and the insane union liberals actually protested it and called for a boycott. http://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/2014/03/20/evil-koch-brothers-spread-wealth/6660393/ Here is what Harry Reid and his own billionaire donor have to say about these men. What the fuck has Harry Reid done with his own money, other than make millions of dollars while simultaneously serving in the Senate?
Expand on this, please. I know I predicted that the stock market would lessen in value, but then again, I didn't think even Obama was dumb enough to have 3 rounds of QE while the job force continued to shrink. He rails against the 1%, yet the rich have never had it better. At some point, you can't keep printing money, but I imagine Barry will keep kicking the can down the road for the next President to take the blame for his failed fiscal policies.
More on the Koch brothers, and their contributions to just the health care marketplace alone. David Koch alone has donated over a half-billion dollars to improve the health of his fellow citizens. For this, he gets shit on by the entire Democratic Party because the Dems can't run on their own failed ideas.
Surprise! More delays, this time in MediCare cuts that helped score the bill under $1t according to the CBO. How exactly is this thing being funded again? It seems as if anytime a cut or penalty comes due, it's pushed back so it doesn't hurt the Dems who voted for it. What a great law! These idiots are running as fast as they can from it, yet I'm being told in this thread it's a smashing success. http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/medicare/202864-healthcare-cuts-canceled-after-dem-complaints
It's a good thing to give towards, but look at gates for real philanthropy. David Koch 506 mil donations over decades are equivalent to someone with a net worth of 1 mil giving less than $13,000 over those two decades. Likely just tax dodges anyway.
That's just medical donations alone. Keep shitting on them, though. It's what you Dems do best ... demonize private citizens. Perhaps they should run a hedge fund, like George Soros or Tom Steyer? The funniest part is that the Koch brothers are pro-gay marriage, want drug laws repealed, and are pro-choice on abortion. Harry Reid can't let his dumb voters know this though, because that means they may start thinking for themselves.
Letter from Charles Schumer thanking the Kochs for their campaign contributions during his 2010 race in New York. Today, he's calling them what is wrong with America. Only idiots fall for this stuff.
This thread tells me why the Democrats will do much better than anticipated in the mid-term elections. #LIV4Life
Sadly, you're right. Incurious lemmings who don't question what their leaders tell them. It's why the GOP is fractured right now. The Dems weeded out the non-crazies like Joe Lieberman a while ago.
It doesn't matter how many they say have signed up. As an aside, many of these people haven't even signed up; they've just put a healthcare package in their cart. We also don't know how many people are getting subsidies, how many had insurance previously but were kicked off of their plans and most importantly what the health profile of those that signed up was. Wait until the Federal Government writes a thirteen figure check to the insurance companies to make up for their shortfall. Just super.
Obama will just delay that part of the law, too, and the insurance companies go belly-up, leaving only ObamaCare.
