GOP Health Care Reform Bill

[Sauron]

So folks, don't accept that liberal propaganda telling you that the Republicans don't have an alternative proposal to put forth on health care - because they do!

And it saves a whopping load of money. How? By insuring almost no one.

By 2019, CBO and JCT estimate, the number of nonelderly people without health insurance would be reduced by about 3 million relative to current law, leaving about 52 million nonelderly residents uninsured. The share of legal nonelderly residents with insurance coverage in 2019 would be about 83 percent, roughly in line with the current share.

The comments on that are a riot.

I don't want to get too technical here, but I believe this is called a "Fail."

Hey, who gives a shit about that irrelevant floo-fla? The point is FREEDOM, namely an insurance company's freedom to designate its own regulatory authority.

That worked so well for the banking industry, didn't it?

Sure! Let's have another bubble!

[naturalist.atheist]

What makes you think we are not in a bubble. Twenty percent of GDP devoted to healthcare should be alarming. And projected increases should be the tipoff.

[Qingdai]

So, we should let them pick their own regulators?
We are, and have been in an era of unsustainable growth in costs.

There's Republicans on my teevee right now, live, shouting about med mal reform.

Tell them to leave, no tv is big enough to hold a Republican's weight let alone them shouting in your living room. You need to find some quieter chotskies.
