He's one of the GOPe that say one thing but do quite another. Lots of GOPe promises were given: first, the House was necessary to do something about Oblablacare; then the Senate was necessary; when Republicans had both, still nothing was done.<br /><br />Neither party can be trusted, which they've proven over and over. Now our medical and insurance industries are both really screwed up (yes, they are- and should be *separate* industries) and unravelling this Gordian knot will be difficult!Eskymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947922645001422523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-12555205654438351822016-12-04T12:54:00.243-05:002016-12-04T12:54:00.243-05:00Some one explain why we need government involved a...Some one explain why we need government involved at all. Please does every one really believe that government is fixing anything when it comes to healthcare, health insurance, or basically anything it is ever involved in? Get rid of Obamacare and get out of trying to manage the healthcare or health insurance of the nation. We have laws that can be used for insurance fraud, we have laws that can be used when it comes to harm done, we don't need laws dictating what my insurance has to cover, I can handle that. We don't need laws dictating what medical equipment a given health care provider is allowed to buy and use. All of this mess was started by government and can be ended by withdrawing government. Don't get me wrong, there will still be problems, but nothing like what we have today. It always comes back to the very same argument, "but we need government because people aren't able to take care of themselves". It always boils down to a complete lack of faith in your neighbor without considering that means they think the same of you. Can YOU take care of yourself?Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559827000450753682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-80801486977782502242016-12-04T10:08:57.842-05:002016-12-04T10:08:57.842-05:00I've never considered the law valid because of...I've never considered the law valid because of the absolute crap that was pulled in passing it and pseudo-legitimizing it in the courts. It made a complete mockery of both the legislative and judicial process. I think that's the real heart of the issue with most Americans.<br /><br />Many people are completely unaware of how Obamacare was passed. If you provide them with an useful, simple analogy, instead of the obfuscated "rules" they begin to realize just why so many are "angry." The Supreme Court couldn't rule on the technical manipulations of Congress and to make matters worse Roberts threw his own manipulations in there as well. <br /><br />US citizens deplore arrogant hubris and being taken, so it's understandable why the GOP is taking this approach.

However, when details filtered in, I am satisfied. I don't like it, but I understand fully. It really is about the people. The tangle this monstrosity created is horrible. Then again, maybe people on it can't afford to use it, so it's... not really anything. I still think every politician who was involved with this should be sent to prison. The politicians who were for it AND made money off it should be shot, after a fair trial anyway. But RIGHT after. *grins*Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.com
