WarTim 3,456 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Can't be fixed.(Was written to fail so Libs could force single payer on America) Cheaper and more effective to kill and replace it. THAT will remain the goal through the elections. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKW 86 7,430 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just give everybody Medicare and move on. The Conservatives are so mad at how ACA was rammed down their throats they cant get over it. The Liberals wrote a bad bill with many flaws that was horribly implemented. All that is more or less behind us. Fix it and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBags7277 734 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm convinced healthcare will never be fixed until the US ceases to exist in its current form. The only way to make genuine progress includes neither giveaways to special interest groups, nor the apparatus to control the lifestyle decisions of the people. Both Red Team and Blue Team want one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKW 86 7,430 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Sorry guys, the political reality is that it isnt going to get repealed. That was the point of the article was that the REP leadership has started to admit it. When was the last time a govt handout was repealed? NEVER.

AURaptor 1,125 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 That's why it needs to be done. Repeal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auctoritas 2,828 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 No . Repeal it. Well, once again, your logic is impeccable, your arguments unassailable, and you have convinced everyone here. Another standup job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,434 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 From the article ... "Only 18% of Americans want to go back to the system we had before because they do not want to go back to some of the problems we had," Whit Ayres, a veteran Republican pollster who works for presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, said at a recent breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor."Smart Republicans in this area get that," he added.

AURex 2,016 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It's easy to say "repeal it." The problem with just repealing it is that the GOP has no plan regarding what to replace it with. In fact, if the SCOTUS rules in the next couple of months that the federal marketplace customers are not eligible for the ACA discounts, millions of people in Republican-run states are going to lose their insurance -- and none of those states (to my knowledge) have a plan for how to deal with that. And if the ACA were just wiped out by the GOP with no alternative plan to take over, more than 7 million people would be affected, a big proportion of them in Republican-run states. It could be a political disaster for Republicans. If you want an issue that would galvanize American voters against any GOP candidate for the White House in 2016, that would do it right there -- assuring the Dems of another presidency. At this point, I don't think the GOP would repeal the ACA, even if they could muster the votes to overturn an Obama veto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 barry and co-conspirators created this disaster and if the SCOTUS rules it to be illegal , it's the GOP's fault ??? Thanks. I enjoyed that huge laugh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
