(50,326 posts)36. I've seen that one.If anyone stops and thinks about it for 2 seconds they'll realize how dumb it is.
For example the tired meme that you won't be able to keep your doctor. So the doctor is going to dump you for someone who has the same coverage you do? Or the one that hospitals will close. Actually, maybe hospitals will thrive because they'll be getting paid for a whole lot of care they write off now. I also love "too expensive" as if what exists now is affordable. That said, I'm thinking the way to transition is to keep Obamacare, open a Medicare public option, and let the people decide. I'm 100% certain it will rapidly be the most popular option. Maybe employers would wise up and say they'll increase everyone's pay by a percentage if they don't have to foot the bill for health insurance.
