I regard health care as a right in the sense I would support taxes paying for those under 18, those over retirement age, those legitimately physically or mentally unable to support themselves. I support Medicaid with monitored criteria for coverage eligibility and would mandate that healthcare providers provide emergency care for anyone regardless of ability to pay. I support moving employers away from the primary supplier of healthcare. I support non-cancellation policies and guaranteed portability with a few limited exceptions for fraud. And as far as I can think of; that’s it.
The more we take responsibilities away from men and women who should provide for their families, the more we emasculate them. Federal mandates that ‘children’ up to age 26 can stay on their parent’s coverage is ridiculous. We keep adding corn to the bird feeder and further develop the concept of government dependence for the young and healthy.
I don’t know anyone, not a single person, who cannot stand the idea of poor people getting healthcare. No one. I don’t know where you get that idea from.
You did not have a debate; it was passed by one party of Congress where no one, and I mean no one, read the bill. You had your day in the Supreme Court and it was ruled to be a tax. You had your election where the media carried the failed President to another term at which point he began systematically doing away with parts of the law that weren’t working.
This law will be an albatross around the neck of the USA in so many different ways, it’s hard to count. There is no need for lies and misinformation to be spread by anyone except the administration which lies repeatedly about the statistics of those signing up. You can't tell me with any degree of certainty who has signed up, why, who has paid etc... So far, the last estimate I saw was maybe 1 million who did not have insurance before all this have signed up. How many have paid is anyone’s guess because that’s top secret; at least until after the mid-terms. So, we did all of this, passed a clearly unconstitutional law, set precedent that will be regretted until the nation's dying day, literally knocked millions off their current insurance and kept people from their preferred doctors so 1 out of 46 million would sign up for healthcare insurance with some % of that million not even paying their premium? And that's something to be joyful about? Really?
