Obamacare? Premiums up 22%?

Watching a panel now on CNN and Cooper’s stiff face just asked a Trump surrogate, “Don’t you wish this story came out 6 months ago”?

Jesus.... Anderson...How about tagging the fact that because of ACA there are now 16 million people who now have a good healthcare plan... Yea, it’s an medicaid expansion program, but it was because of Obamacare that it probably is saving thousands of lives..

And while I’m at it ( and believe me it seems that all MSM pundits are jumping on this story today) I haven’t heard one pundent state that Obama’s initial hope was to pass a Medicare For All Plan which Republican’s and some scumbag Democrats threw in the garbage from day 1.

How about it guys? Do your job and react to this story fucking in a professional manner and present all the sides.. By the way the Republican answer to Obamacare.. Tax Credits ( yea that ill help a family of 4 who’s annual in come is 50 Grand) , and they also like the idea of interstate insurance purchasing..
That ill solve our problems.. Idiots!

Fuck Them!

He might not have suggested (mentioned) Medicare For All.. But he sure mentioned “Universal Healthcare” as an alternative..Single Payer as well..

You know as well as I do that, that our healthcare system is a screwed up disaster. And that it would probably take a combination of the plans mentioned above to address our problems.

So in the end why the heck were you so concerned about my “Medicare For All” comment?

It's all about the money, the people are secondary. United Health just dumped a chunk of their Obamacare business and saw profits rise considerably. If you only collect money and don't allow sick people to get care, it's a great scheme for the greedy. Medicare should immediately be open to everyone and have a sliding scale premium.

The insurance companies can opt in or out as they please while I get stuck with a steep penalty because they can set the premiums above the level of subsidies.

...isn't a good counter to the fact that the Affordable Care Act is becoming unaffordable for many.
