Poll on the ACA.....
- Thread starter OKSTATE1
- Start date
I went B. only because the people most harmed by the ACA are the one's least represented in D.C. That's the working middle class who are above the government hand-outs but below the income levels to have any influence on policy makers.
Well @syskatine, this is precisely what you've advocated to get something done. I expect your first ever kudos be given to Trump.
Trump does this and in my book and all I can say is AWESOME. Get it done Prez Trump!
The Congress should abide by all the laws they foist on everyone else including health care. Perhaps Trump should also shut down the special wing at Walter Reed designated solely for Congress and high ranking officials. Make them go to local hospitals and wait lines like everyone else.
Is John McCain flying commercial back and forth to Arizona or is he flying on Air Force Gulfstream jets? Either way, I doubt he's paying for it.

Sys advocated for this? Good for him. I'll look for your response (Thor) to his response (Sys).
Yep, he also called for allowing health insurance over state lines. Another thing Trump wants. Still no kudos though.
The across state lines bit is critical for self employed independent contractors and business owners who can't pool group plans otherwise. This really needs to happen. I've never understood why it exists.
If he does this (which I doubt), it would certainly add fuel to the impeachment fire.
Shoot, might be a good reason to do it, would make any impeachment attempt just look self serving. I have to believe Dems and Reps voters both would love to see Congress play by the same healthcare laws as the rest of us.
The ACA has its positives and negatives. It has helped millions of Americans but there are areas of reform needed. Simply repealing the ACA was, of course, a flawed idea.
In reality, we need to move to some form of a hybrid single-payer/private insurance system. I personally like the Australian model.

Yea it's called Medicare and let everyone else buy what they want to pay for (which could be zero).
A universal health care system (Medicare) alongside a private system. I also like the way in which the Medicare levy works for the most part.
When the government is allowed to run healthcare it will also decide at some point end of life care, who should get it and who should not. What lives are worth the cost of saving and which ones are not, private sector is slowly moving in that direction. Literally we will be put to sleep like dogs. I personally think a government that allows legal abortions is not an entity I want in control of my end of life care, and I make my analogy in not trying to politicize abortion. I want myself, my family, my Doctor, and if needed my priest making my end of life care decisions. Not some OMB directive to cut costs on a social program that is becoming unsustainable. This will also end up happening for knee replacements and other care for those who at 70 need a knee replacement, etc....
I also believe eventually this will run off talented Doctors, etc....you would basically be working for the government and We already have a shortage in some areas of Doctors because it is not as desirable of a field today because of the liability and mountain of paperwork.
Tort reform needs to happen, unbelievable how much money tort reform could save, it is unreal. Some say it could pay for the entire cost of Obamacare but attorneys are good lobbyists. Set laws that requires all drugs in the US to be sold at the lowest cost it is sold outside of the US. Allow full competition across state lines, get rid of the VA and its waste and pay for the vets to get private sector HC. The list goes on and on.
Sorry, but I think it is crazy to count on your healthcare from the government, VA is a shit show. Government can not even deliver the mail without taking a subsidy.

Is that an Australian Doctor? Looks like time for a prostate exam.
Negatory on the prostate exam. Rumor has it she's coming out with a song similar to this classic:
I'd guess her song will be titled, Shine a Rope.
