Health Care Quote of the Day

‘it’s hard to read the above quote and believe anyone who says the ACA is a socialist plot.’

Most of the people who say it’s a socialist plot don’t believe it either. They just settled on calling Obama a socialist because when they called him a communist or a nazi people treated them like crackpots. They needed an ‘ism’ to insult liberals with and they settled on socialism as the most offensive term they could think of that wouldn’t get them in trouble.

If you ask most teabaggers what socialism means they don’t know — although they’ll still be loud and obnoxious in their ignorance. Most of the teabaggers I’ve talked to say it means ‘big government’ and levying taxes.

Why would they want to repeal something they spent so much time writing?

ACA aka ObamaCare is nothing short of the worst piece of legislation ever enacted. But, please do keep it around. Keep funneling money to the big Insurance Companies, Big Pharma, Big Labor Unions with huge subsidies. Sooner or later people will wake up and tell you libtards no more.

OH my!! Pardon me!! I must have been sleeping. The PEOPLE did that on November 2nd!!
.
How many House seats were turned over from Libtards to Republicans again? Was it 65 or 66? I lost count!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You’re pathetic.

See, I don’t get how people who are supposed to be so for “free market” can also get ticked if this bill they hate so much assures the insurance industry is stable. You guys just really want to have it both ways. Constantly. With no reasoning, things just spill out your vitupritive mouths and fingers which are completely illogical. It’s like you like to hate just to hate.

Instead of staying on topic, you attempt to gloat every chance you get. Your in-yo-face histrionics – not to mention your opinions – are sloppy, juvenile and, eventually, wrong.

Cripes – 2.1 was meant for RustFreep.

Rusty -
You sound worried that all of a sudden repealing HCR will not happen. (As if it ever was going to happen)Face reality, the Republicans are not going to fight against a very powerful Health Insurance lobby.

So once again the Republicans have sold you a bill of goods.

When newrusty does his maniacal laugh, it just means he is insane.

I’m sure Rush and Glenn will tell them how to think and react whenever that happens.

I don’t think he needs to laugh even.

You’re too kind. The Teatards believe exactly what their authoritarian leaders tell them to believe, no matter how stupid, contradictory or dishonest. And that’s even when responsible journalist point out that they’re lying…because we don’t really have any of those. Claiming that it’s “hard to believe” when so many people have already been convinced that it’s true is about as close as you get.

LOL. I was like, “what did I do? I know it wasn’t the best joke…”

They simply DO NOT get it, newfreedom. They still think obamacare is “manna from heaven” and will stay on this sinking ship until it slides beneath the waves. The election’s message is lost on these people. We don’t have to repeal this monstrosity, it will unravel all by itself and while it sticks around, it will be the gift that keeps on giving for the Republicans. Democrats constructed it, Obama owns it and it could well be the key that defeats him in 2012. This bill is truly that bad, they are simply too ignorant to understand what the majority of Americans already know.

Whether you agree with insurers that the mandate is a good idea, it’s hard to read the above quote and believe anyone who says the ACA is a socialist plot.
.
That the ACA mandates individuals to purchase a product from a private company is evidence against it being a socialist plot, not the fact that some blood-sucking insurance exec it happy about it.

Oh BS, this law won’t stay the way it is currently written or applied. Remember, think progressive. Once people can’t afford the insurance, the government will subsidize it. Look how Social Security started out as a retirement program and know you can get benefits for SDI, SSI, and it has branched out way beyond the original concept. Progressive.
.
So, if you leave this law in place it will become a single payer socialized health care system.

Hey, Rusty, do some checking. Historically, in the last century, when the President’s party controls the House or Senate his first two years, one or both chambers have changed hands in the midterms. It means very little except that we, as a nation, have kept to the historical narrative.

We liberals can only hope.
.
At the very least, a public option, which would have helped to control costs because the government could run their health insurance program as a non-profit, would have been the best offset to the mandate. I don’t know my daughter is going to afford health insurance.

So, if you leave this law in place it will become a single payer socialized health care system.

And this is bad how? Because it has that almighty buzzword, “Socialism,” in it? Personally, I would much prefer the government, who supposedly answers to the people with the people’s best interest in mind, in charge of health insurance than companies who only care about maximizing profits and minimizing risk.
