What to do when ObamaCare unravels

What to do when ObamaCare unravels. “Health insurance should be individual, portable across jobs, states and providers; lifelong and guaranteed-renewable, meaning you have the right to continue with no unexpected increase in premiums if you get sick. Insurance should protect wealth against large, unforeseen, necessary expenses, rather than be a wildly inefficient payment plan for routine expenses. People want to buy this insurance, and companies want to sell it. It would be far cheaper, and would solve the pre-existing conditions problem. We do not have such health insurance only because it was regulated out of existence.” Well, pols have taken to labelling any plans that make sense “substandard” meaning there isn’t any opportunity for graft.

  • True. Over regulation and regulation that makes it easy for insurance companies to become monopolies is the reason why healthcare wasn't working perfectly BUT it was working, what we have now is not working at all and definitely not for everyone. There were ways to fix the problems we had and this was not a good way to fix it. This law is detrimental.

    Watching Fox News and the cute brother is telling me that over 40 K new laws and regulations will hit states and federal levels starting January 1st. In Illinois if a pet's leash is not long enough the owner can spend 6 months in jail. In California kids with their own gender identity regardless of the gender they are born can play any sport they want and use any bathroom they want.

    *sighs* Some laws make sense, but some laws are just too domineering and too intrusive and too scary.

  • When this bogus excuse for a government takeover blows up in their faces, I plan on sitting back and watching the LIVs chimp out.

  • A woman was playing golf when she took a big swing and fell.

    The party waiting behind her was a group from Washington, DC, that included Barack Obama.

    Barack quickly stepped forward and helped her to her feet.

    She thanked him and started to leave, when he said, "I'm Barack Obama and I hope you'll vote democratic in the next election.

    She laughed and quickly said, "I fell on my ass, not my head!!"
