    Aetna threatened to pull out of Obamacare if their merger with Humana was blocked. But how is our private healthcare system shittier than single payer?

    Obamacare is a shitty product, but acting like the Republicans have taken the high road on healthcare is so fucking laughable that I'm not even going to go into it. Look back to the Bush-era prescription drug handout for a little taste.

    Pass single payer and raise the tax ceiling for fucks sake and join the rest of the civilized world.

    Obama care was written and ready to go prior to Obingo being president. Written by the Apollo Alliance. You can look them up, quite interesting.

    It has to fail. We can not afford it. We are not entitled to health care at others expense. Get over it.

    Do you realize you are lying? Or you just believe every random rumor you hear?

    This was the plan from the get go. The administration knew they couldn't get a single payer system passed, so they came up with a system that would be sure to fail. Once it fails, single payer will be the only option. Pretty sick if you ask me.

    Yes the Democrats had some brilliant plan to add 30 million people to insurance company rolls. Then after than, let's get rid of insurance companies.

    How about both parties look at Obamacare and fix some shit with it. Rather than sit here and do nothing about bitch about it.
    The brilliant idea of adding 30 million sick people that insurance companies couldn't charge proper premium for? Sounds like a great business deal if you ask me.
    Did you hear one insurance company complain about Obamacare?

    Didn't think so.
    No...because they were promised repayment of shortages by the federal government. Then the federal government realized that paying off insurance companies with tax payers dollars wouldn't look good, so they turned face on that, and told the insurance companies to pound sand. Which is why we are where we are at.

    If the OP isn't a medical insurer's indictment on obamacare, I don't know what is.

    Honda Fucking Stupid
    Again. When Obamacare was being passed, did you hear one insurance company come out against Obamacare?

    Is it Obama's fault that some insurance companies priced their exchange plans incorrectly? How about insurance companies take personal responsibility for their own fuck up.
    Again the pricing had government incentives built into it. The government reneged on their promise, so the insurance companies were left with the bill.

    But I agree with you on one thing. They did fuck up by believing the goods that Obama's administration had promised them would actually come through.

    My favorite part of Obamacare, is how the bill ultimately just insures payment of medical liabilities and doesn't keep the costs imposed by the medical cartel in check.

    So there is that.

    Actually it does specify certain cost limits. But how are you stupid?
    Price controls do not equate to cost controls dumbfuck. Costs have spiraled out of control thanks to increased demand, and government regulation that simultaneously limits competition and supply. But how are you Hondo FS?
    Wait, so now the exchanges with transparent health care plans are limiting competition?

    I'm assuming the merger with Humana would provide the necessary financial backing needed for Aetna to stay in the exchanges. That doesn't seem like an odd request.

    Pretty much every other advanced country has single payer or some kind of similar "evil" socialized medicine
