if they were smart…..(I know)…….they'd replace Obamacare with the ACA — and they'd still be able to lie in their constituents' faces about it.
😉
Call it. trumpcare and lets shake hands on the deal. That was easy!
I wonder if Sen. Gardner will include a provision in the Republican plan that requires cancellation notices so individuals, millions of them, now insured under Obamacare will be notified that their Obamacare insurance has been cancelled. Also, will Sen. Gardner promise to include a renewal notice in the same envelope that sets forth what it will cost each individual or family to purchase insurance under the Republican plan compared to what they were paying under Obamacare. Finally, will Sen. Gardner promise to include in the same envelope with the Republican cancellation notice a comparison of the services an individual received under Obamacare compared to what they will receive under the Republican healthcare plan. Its only fair that citizens know what they are getting for their money.
Sen. Gardner needs to respond to the following. If Obamacare is repealed, six rural hospitals in Colorado, including the one in Delta will close due to lack of funding. The hospital in Delta employs 615 people and is the single largest employer in that county. According to the hospital administrator in Delta, Obamacare stabilized the hospital's finances which allowed it to remain open to treat patients. If it closes patients will have a two hour drive, one way, to get hospital care.
In the 2014 general election, Delta County gave Sen. Gardner 67.3% of their votes and now, to return that favor, he wants to close Delta's hospital, layoff 615 people from their jobs, cancel the health insurance of the Delta County residents who have insurance through Obamacare, all because of ideology. What say you Senator about this?
Republican Senator Ron Johnson (Cory Gardner's senior) says that "repeal and replace" is just a buzz word and is not accurate.
Make them all eat shit on this issue.
That's the spirit, Zappatero!
Make people, insured under the ACA, have a health care plan that they can't afford to use due to higher co-pays and higher deductibles, along with double digit premiums rate increases in 2017. Who cares if this law was sold to us based on the lie, touted by Democrats, that "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it." and "If you like your doctor, you can keep him/her?"
How do you think it looked when Obama began granting waivers to the law, after he signed it, especially pushing the date — the Cadillac health care plan tax on unions would kick in — until after he left office?
What does it matter if the then Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, urged the passage of the ACA by breathlessly telling us "We have to pass this law so we can see what's in it?" That just revealed to us that House Democrats did not really know what they were voting on that day.
How do you think some Coloradans felt when Connect for Health Colorado forced them onto Medicaid, when they wanted a plan under the ACA?
Thank goodness FDR and LBJ, respectively, reached across the aisle to ensure bipartisan support for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Those programs would have eventually fizzled out… like Obamacare appears to be going… had those two presidents not sought a collaborative effort from Congress.
