Republicans will do what ever they want, to further their agenda and to hell with the American people be they republican or democrat. We all should know that by now. If we know anything at all.
1st, republicans created the Obamacare imaginary land.
They told us Obamacare was government universal healthcare program.
It was not.
Obamacare was nothing terribly new, except for placing the same-o private insurance providers into "pools".
And then, people could chose from participating providers within the pools.
In other words, basically the same-o same-o for our private insurance-for-profit system.
2nd, about the only thing that one could say has changed with Obamacare, was in stopping private insurance from imposing lifetime payment limits. Rejecting or dropping because of pre-existing conditions. And a few other perks like allowing your kid to stay on YOUR insurance policy thru the age of 26 (or 25???).
Sooooo, by any republican congress dissolving Obamacare, all republicans would actually be doing and achieve would be once again allowing private insurance to make it much easier to drop people, reject people, and put back in place blocks for people from getting insured.
Thats all.
That's it.
Bottom line.
You do not have to be a liberal or democrat to have a family member that needs insurance without the fear of rejection. You do not have to be liberal or democrat to have a family member that has a pre-existing condition. And you do not have to be a liberal or democrat to have a kid in college that needs insured off your insurance policy.
Plenty of republican families would be damaged and harmed if Obamacare and the new common sense regulations imposed on private insurance from Obamacare were dissolved.
I know it takes most people a very long time to realize a good thing when they have it.
And the thrill for republicans in congress to kill off Obamacare, and obviously the thrill for some republican court justices (hint hint), that thrill would be followed by that sour taste in the mouth when republican households realize what republican legislators, and two republican court justices, have done to their families healthcare.
But... so be it.
If that is what it takes to really piss off republicans households into feel the pain (no pun), so be it.
Besides, republicans have no "replace" when it come to "repeal and replace".
Oh, my bad...
Republicans DO actually have a replace plan.
Ready for it ????? Ready ??? Ready ???
Their agenda is to """TAX-AS-INCOME*** each and every insurance covered individual and family member for any and all benefits paid out by their private healthcare provider.
So.... say your husband has a heart attack thus a medical bill of the typical $100,000 for doctors and hospitals care after one heart attack.
Your insurance pays 80% under a typical 20-80% policy.
But NOW, at the end of the year thanks to republicans "replace and repeal" scheme, the insurance company will send out an IRS form 1099 TO YOU for insurance company payout to doctors and hospitals. That 1099 form to be included as income on tax forms for that 80% paid out by your insurance for that heart attack.
On $100,000, thats an extra $80,000 YOU MUST INCLUDE as income on your tax return.
Isn't that special... Lucky YOU!
Try paying your April tax bill with an extra added $80,000 additional income.
And without going bankrupt.
So, as for the original question, YES.
Republicans in congress damn definitely will kill off Obamacare if given the chance.
You can take that to the bank.
And concerning the harm to millions of insured under Obamacare exchanges, OR MORE SO the millions that now can have healthcare insurance due to the Obamacare insurance reforms?
Well.... we already know the republican congressional response to that, now don't we?
Republicans note to the American people. Go "F" yourselves.
If nothing else, this alone should give you a HUGE clue which party to vote for come November. Or, we can just simply do it the hard way, all over again, as is the usual.
Ps. True personal story from a brain-dead republican co-worker.
Sadly, so typical of them...
One of those HATE OBAMACARE republicans.
His wife lost her job at a grocery store AND her healthcare.
He could not get her on his employer based healthcare because she had pre-existing condition.
After Obamacare, she is now once again insured.
This co-worker still bashes Obamacare every chance.
Your typical republican Obamacare hater must have failed math back in school.
Seems they can not add 1 + 1 to equal the sum of "yeah! my wife has insurance".
So sad....
