Will there be an uproar when Obamacare is repealed?

[Capt Caveman]

I'm old enough to know that the majority of people were happy with their healthcare and didn't want Obamacare to pass. The Democrats and Obama forced it though with no support from Republicans. President-elect Trump and Republicans have been trying to get rid of it for years, they won, elections have consequences.

Are you talking about the 20 million people who didn't have health insurance before?

Is that the current made up number you guys are claiming?

Mostly agreed, I look forward to the replacement. When will we hear about how great it will be and how much cheaper insurance will be with better coverage/lower deductibles?
Elections have consequences.

Take note of that second link where they talk about employees covering all of their costs.

Yep, 90% of Americans thought their health care was excellent, good or fair in 2007.

I call shenanigans

wait.....excellent, good or FAIR? So basically 10% thought their insurance was total and utter crap.

Lol! Versus 89% now? You are a fucking tool.

Numbers pulled straight from your ass..

No, he's right but it's a 1% difference than what it is now and that's a rounding error. Facts don't matter with that guy which is why trump represents him perfectly.

Yeah, he could have developed an argument but he's too stupid to interpret the numbers.

Thanks for clarifying.

You posted the poll, i just read numbers in it you don't like.

 

[Capt Caveman]

You posted the poll, i just read numbers in it you don't like.

Yeah, so you're in agreement then that people are as satisfied with their healthcare before and now.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

Yes, but people now would be even happier if they weren't paying all the extra $$$ that Obamacare forced, FORCED them to pay.

No you just put your fingers in your ears.

 

[Meghan54]

No, it's the Republicans refusing to fund major parts of Obamacare after its passage that's really responsible for the horrendous price increases over the last few years.

That's like blaming a woman for physical harm because she didn't help her assailant pull her pants down.

How dare you. How very well dare you present reality to another individual. Have no you common decency? What is this world coming to.

 

[jeff_in_MD]

One for every butthurt liberal/progressive posting in P&N.

One for every conservative that's going to bitch and moan about the coverage they lost and how they thought they never would go through with it.

So probably 5 to 10 million.

 

[Meghan54]

That's like blaming a woman for physical harm because she didn't help her assailant pull her pants down.

Seriously, are you like 13 y.o.? What is that drivel supposed to mean? As an analogy, it seriously sucks to the point of being meaningless at best.

CNN has an article titled "Please Don't take My Health Coverage." They interviewed a person who voted for Trump but they still want their Obamacare.

Go figure.

Who had health insurance before Obamacare - they don't like it since it mostly made their premiums go up (due to new mandates like fix for preexisting conditions) or they lost insurance coverage altogether
Who didn't have health insurance - they like it since finally they could have it

 

[Meghan54]

Guess you don't understand the bolded part is NOT why premiums escalated so much..
