Yeah, Republicans know just how to improve health care. And any day now they’re going to specify what ought to be done.-Just as soon as they abolish minimum wage.
If forcing businesses at financial gunpoint to pay for oral contraceptives that increase liver, breast, and cervical cancer in women is “healthcare for women,” then women should probably avoid healthcare.
News — a majority of Americans, even John McCain wanted Obamacare. They still want every last one of the provisions in the bill. They’re worried because of lies being told about not being able to choose your doctor, or Washington being involved (it’s still private insurance). But to assume that people want NO health reform is to ignore the actual polling on health care.
Well, mine was affordable. It has since gone up, and may even cause the coverage for my family to cost extra. Yes we want affordable health coverage, but not on our backs. Who was going to pay for those who end up on it because they can’t afford it? I do not know why you are not covered by your employer if you are not or why it costs them so much, but it will not be affordable to me the way it stands. That was why the insurance companies tried to get as much money pocketed in the last 2 yrs as they could. Doctors are going to be forced to take on more medi-cal / medi-care patients with lower reimbursement for them. If they choose to go private it will drive up the prices allowing only the rich to afford the best care. I am in California and several Health insurance companies are pulling out or increasing the cost in order to make money or have people go to a different insurance.
Obama fought that thing until people started screaming he’d promised to settle the health care issue within the first year of his administration.
You can thank your obstruction merchants for the RomneyCare bill. Nothing is more important to the GOP except seeing the ‘libruls’ fail. Well, and making sure their corporate masters continue to have the means to exploit their constituents.
The GOP has labeled this travesty ‘ObamaCare’ to obscure the fact that it was a GOP bill that should rightly be called ‘RomneyCare’.
Still, when have the Dems ever corrected anything they perceived the GOP did wrong? What we need is a new government. This one has devolved into fascist anarchy, and by ‘this government’ I mean both parties.
“And, I believe I am correct in saying that most of us wanted affordable health care.”
Yes, that is what we wanted, but RomneyCare is no more affordable than the travesty it ‘replaces’. I’ve seen the schedules. It will impoverish more working people, the gap between what people can afford and what the government claims they can afford will cause huge problems.
The thing is a free gift to the insurers, no more, no less. And it won’t be cheap; it will further suppress job creation, and do all the other bad things people are claiming for it.

But the government says it is! Surely they wouldn’t lie to us ..?
We got this disaster because the people insisted on health care reform. The fact that the government calls it ‘reform’ doesn’t mean the public got what they wanted. They got something all right – yet another gift to industry, financed on the backs of the poor.
And the thing is quite obviously bi-partisan, so let’s park the complaints where they belong – squarely on the doorstep of the government – both parties.
The thing is a disaster for everyone but the insurers, and of course, those who don’t need them.

But it’s OK for us to pay for the GOP’s unfunded mandates?
I don’t think so.

Good luck to you. I hope you can afford it.

“The health care for woman can be improved…I speak of the poor and lower middle class (a majority of us..)”
With that, I wholeheartedly agree. But I think we have a longer way to go than you are projecting … maybe. 2014 is NOT going to fix anything.

Just because one driver is about the crash, doesn’t mean the other drivers know what they’re doing.
