Republicans are going to vote to repeal Obamacare

Wapo obamacare repeal draft defunds planned parenthood

The American Health Care Act AKA TrumpCare (before the Amendments) had a price tag that came in under the ACA according to the Congressional Budget Office, saving $337 billion over the decade (according to their first report). However, it did this by leaving 52 million without coverage by 2026 (it increases the uninsured by 24 million by 2026 for a total of 52 million). The cost and uninsured rate are subject to change based on changes to the bill.

So we consider you as being on record that the government shouldn't do anything about guaranteeing middle class or poor people health care, only the wealthy should get it because they've shown some employer that they deserve it?

We had to in order to attract the right kind of employee. It was expected. We picked up 50% of the cost. That was expected too.

Now, we don't have to because Obama made it manadatory that the individual buy it. People don't even expect it anymore.

But, I would still rather go back to the old way. Lower costs, better coverage and more importantly I wasn't forced by his highness to buy something.

Make false accusations with someone else.

It's all about keeping America more innovative and dynamic than global competition. This country was never for the masses to fat cat. For that one should be in Scandanavia.

I'm not making false accusations when I say that your post essentially says the government should not do anything to guarantee health care to the poor and middle class. These two sentences from your post lead to that conclusion:

In the above quote, you are clearly saying the poor and middle class who expect the government to require that they get quality health care are acting like "fat cats".

It's a comment about the reality that "insured" health care is not an entitlement.

...Like education, health care should be anyone's right provided by the government. It sort of is, because anyone walking into an emergency room must be treated. The problem with that regulation is that cost goes up to take care of non-emergency treatments. Health care should take precedence over many other government spending. As a citizen, I wouldn't mind paying more in taxes to ensure health care for every one, but especially children.

The first sentence I can see can be interpreted as explaining what the corporate interests want. The second and third sentence refers to the mass of people as "fat cats" in regard to health care, and as phrased, indicates the author does not think the majority of people deserve affordable, quality health care. The third sentence says that such a concept is for Scandinavians, not Americans.

It does not matter what "the author" thinks, unless the opinion is illegal.

This is a message board, not a legal proceeding. When someone responds to a poster's message, they are responding to what the poster seems to be thinking. That's what I did.
