What happens to Obamacare? — Page 2

Only a lazy, reductive, utter moron would equate "affordable" with "cheap."


"Thanks for the name calling. Seems to be a chronic thing with Liberals. I will not stoop to your level. When you go low, I will go high as Michelle Obama said.



Anyway, by cheap I mean affordable. In any event, hardly anyone disputes that it is not cheap for anyone who already had insurance.

Thanks for jumping to conclusions, seems to be a chronic thing with you in particular. If you had read with any care or attention at all, you would see that I didn't call you any names. You didn't claim that you think that "affordable" means "cheap" in your first post, did you now?

Take a bit of time and thought before responding, please. It's the adult thing to do.

And FYI - "cheap" and "affordable" don't mean the same thing. At least, not in English.



"OK, I will take you at your word. I apologize for jumping to the conclusion.

Here's what Republicans did in the middle of the night last night. Well the media was busy talking about Russian prostitutes.

30 Million People Lost Their Healthcare in the Dead of Night

"The key moment came at about one in the morning when Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, withdrew his amendment that would have pushed the process of repealing the Affordable Care Act back to the beginning of March. Defenders of the law had set great store by the Corker amendment, which seemed to indicate that the Republican majority was both a) afraid to stand the gaff that will come when people lose their healthcare, and b) realizing that repealing the ACA without a viable replacement would cause actual chaos. That unicorn died in the dead of night.

The Republican congressional majorities want this law dead because they have a theological belief that this is not the job of government. They want what they want when they want it, and they have the power to get it and the towering gall to get it done by any means necessary. The president-elect doesn't know enough about the subject to throw to a cat. So there we are.

The amendments proposed by the Democrats and defeated by the Republicans were designed to put the majority on the wrong side of the most popular aspects of the law. It was really all they had left, but, in six months, when all those people who voted for the president-elect secure in the knowledge that he'd never do what he promised to do, discover that their pre-existing conditions suddenly matter again, the odds are that they will blame themselves or The Government or liberals or Barack Obama and nobody will remember how the mugging happened, and the rain will wash away the chalk outline of the victim from the sidewalk. And the death of the Affordable Care Act will become a cold case, an unsolved mystery mouldering in a pauper's grave."

Wonder how Der Presedente will feel about this.

No doubt he'll only concentrate on the repeal aspect.
