Obamacare Is In Real Danger

https://politicalwire.com/2017/06/12/obamacare-real-danger/

SNIP..............


Sarah Kliff: “Senate Republicans began to coalesce around the framework of a plan to repeal and replace the law last week. Their plan would, like the bill the House passed in May, almost certainly cause millions of low-income Americans to lose coverage by ending the Medicaid expansion. It would help the young and healthy at the expense of the older and the sick.”

“Meanwhile, across the nation, health insurance plans are beginning to flee the Obamacare marketplace. They’ve cited the uncertainty around the health care law’s future, sown by congressional Republicans and the Trump administration. The number of counties with zero health plans signed up to sell 2018 coverage keeps growing.”

“The possibility that Republicans will repeal Obamacare or drive it into collapse is an increasingly real one. That’s a reality where millions fewer have health insurance coverage and lower-income Americans struggle to afford coverage.”

I expect that will be added to Trump's articles of impeachment to faithfully execute all laws, including Obamacare.

redumbliCONs have absolutely no solution to the cost problem, which only continues to grow larger. redumbliCONs will own the pending diaster of their healthcare plan and unfortunately many American citizens will give up their lives because of it.

4. Ever since that

Rubs, Independents, and Dems will remember.

In my job as office manager, I had to determine health insurance after Obamacare was passed. And I am going to tell you...to read through all the ins and outs was no simple thing.

Obamacare was a headache, but I also realized the importance of the legislation. I know all the compromises Obama and Dems had to do in order to even get it passed and by the time it was passed, so diluted down....we all knew there would need adjustments in the future.

However, when I am depressed over US healthcare...I remember...if the Rubs push to pass this idiot's plan...it will negatively affect all people! And by 2018...we can reverse to make US single payer medicare. I really do feel by California and Nevada going this route...more states will join the bandwagon when everyone sees how great it is. Simple, reasonable, and efficient....Rubs want to make it so difficult!
