You mean the guy that looks 35 isn't doing a good job with his third of the power?
Shocking... -
Obama care is going to be tricky for the GOP to fight because it is, in essence, a Republican plan - it's Romney's health care plan. Obama wanted single payer but new hr couldnt fet it through congress so he crafted the plan after the best republican plan out there. The GOP will not be able to "tweak a few things" and come up with a better plan. The next health care act in America will be extreme, either single-payer or completely free market and it probably won't come g or awhile.

at first I didn't buy into the "Obamacare was supposed to fail leading to single payer" but now I sort of see some of the genius in it.bananasnblondes said:Obama care is going to be tricky for the GOP to fight because it is, in essence, a Republican plan - it's Romney's health care plan.

you dedicate an entire provision to preventing companies from denying people for pre-existing conditions. Republicans know they can't get rid of that and stay in office. But you can't keep that provision without many of the other aspects. that is along with lifetime caps, etc.
what I think the GOP will try to do is do nothing and gut the bill, let it collapse, and then use that as proof that "socialized medicine" doesn't work.
problem is they ran on replacing it, and their president ran on "cheaper insurance for everyone." So they're in a corner.
All that you need now is a democratic presidential candidate that can frame it correctly in 2020. not Hillary who's against it because she's bought off -
It comes down to conflicting ideas. Is good healthcare a privilege or a right?

Agree, but how do you inspire individuals to pursue expertise in medicine and spend a decade plus of their life going into six fig debt without paying them accordingly.2001400ex said:

It's a tricky fucking problem no doubt. -
Profit drives R&D. Without that, good luck developing new drugs and procedures.2001400ex said:

I'm not talking doctors or pharmacists. I'm talking the person paying the bill trying to tell me what procedure to get. That should be between me and the doctor, who should get paid for ensuring I have the right medical care.Doogles said:
