[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the government needs to subsidize Obamacare premiums for eternity for it to be viable, maybe we need to scrap it and go back to the private system.

It’s no excuse to hold the government hostage. If the dems want to address the subsidy crisis, they are more than welcome to introduce a bill repealing Obamacare and see where the dominoes fall.[/quote]

I guess you don't remember the projections for price increases for all private insurance before Obamacare?

Obamacare didn't show up as nice thing to do.  [b]We had a crisis[/b], and Obamacare helped ameliorate the pain.[/quote]

People tend to forget this part.   Our healthcare system was a runaway train already It was a significant part of Obama's campaign from what I remember.  People with pre-existing conditions had very few options short of hoping to hold on to their FT job with a big employer purely for insurance reasons or being married to someone with employer coverage.  Even without pre-existing conditions insurance was sketchy, network coverage convoluted, you paid more as your deductible share than a cash patient and claims were often denied. I have experienced private insurance pre-Obama as a younger healthier adult and it already sucked. [/quote]

Amazing how quickly people have forgotten the whole pre-existing conditions runaround that insurance companies used to refuse coverage.

I guess Obamacare has worked pretty well, despite the flaws. Too bad the GOP can’t see its way to proposing solutions.

But “idea of a concept of a plan” amirite?[/quote]
