I just flat out disagree with Hillary on medical care funding.

[KentuckyWoman]

Truman was not fighting for the "affordable care act".
Americans do not want more access to INSURANCE. We want more access to MEDICAL CARE.



To be fair I didn't want ACA from the start. I KNOW we can do better. If Hillary does not think she can get universal access to medical care done for all citizens then I can respect that, but I want the next president to be someone who will move the gates of hell if that is what it takes to get it done.

Universal single payer is GOOD for business, good for citizens and good for this country. The only people it's not good for is Congress because it takes one reason to divide us and get slush money from lobbyists.

Insurance corps will not lose one thin dime of profits. They will just alter their business model and keep going. Businesses will be more competitive in the world since medical insurance costs will no longer be a burden and workers will be committed for the work and not for the health insurance.

1. She flat out lied about Truman.

[questionseverything]

2. she was not honest about support for the public option

she neglected to say the aca only passed by reconciliation,public option could of passed same way

[joshcryer]

4. No it could not.

Reconciliation required Lieberman among others, Ben Nelson I believe.

6. no that was for the 60 vote theshold

reconciliation requires a simple majority

[joshcryer]

7. On phone but they didn't have the votes.

[questionseverything]

8. aca passed thru reconciliation...50 votes

the public option never got same vote....this is old stuff

[PoliticAverse]

11. That's not exactly true. The ACA was passed in 2 parts. The first part required 60 votes...

the second part passed through reconciliation.

[questionseverything]

12. the point that public option could of passed the 50 vote threshold that

reconciliation required is still true

[PoliticAverse]

14. I don't believe that is true as 'reconciliation' could only be used for

budgetary issues.

3. she's bought and paid for on the issue

5. I just flat out disagree with Hillary on medical care funding also, she is

deceitful as can be in her quest to protect the insurance companies and Wall Street, and I disagree with just about anything else that she says. Truman was not fighting for the "affordable care act". is 100% correct.

9. I want access, I want the 26 million without anything to have what I have.

Saying we should go with a system that leaves out 26 millions is the height of absurdity.

I am really annoyed with that "access" word... ON EDIT, it is like COBRA is meant
to give us "access" to insurance if we lose our job. The number of people that can afford to use COBRA, or are even able to scrape the funds to use it are very few...some "access"...

13. I obviously disagree with your view but

I respect the fact you are willing to just come out and say you think medical care for the sick should be treated as a luxury product only the rich should be able to afford.

pretty brave on a progressive board......

16. Actually I was saying the exact opposite and you misunderstood... I agree with your post!

I just have problems with the word "access." Access to health insurance doesn't mean you can afford to use healthcare if your coinsurance and deductible is too high. Sorry if I wasn't clear...I think everyone has a right to healthcare regardless of ability to pay. Some people think the "access" to insurance through the ACA enables those newly insured to have access to health care...but if you have a high deductible, high coinsurance policy..that "access" is close to worthless if you can't afford to use it. "Access" in a single payer system is much better than "access" under the ACA.
