The adults in the room

Time to privatize fire stations now too. Don't be angry when a firetruck pulls up to your next car accident, because your car appeared to be smoking, then you get a $35,000 bill in the mail from the fire department, because they had to bring out their ultimate, fire truck for your accident, since the others were busy at other car accidents, which also appeared to have smoking cars.

The problem is that hospitals can charge you whatever they want to. I think it needs to be taken over by the government and the government needs to contain and control the costs. Half of Americans can't afford the current health care system, and it's getting worse every year...soon it'll be over 60%+. Medical tests, diagnoses, and procedures in the U.S. can usually cost over 10X that of some European countries. The medical system is fuct, IMO, and about to give soon. I think it's destined to be socialized. Unemployment is going permanently up over the next 30 years.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

The actual adults in the room just told the House to fuck off:

Sounds like they passed the bill so they could find out what's in it.

This is why I own health care funds. It's a small way to get in on the obscene profiteering. I'd gladly give up those profits in exchange for a more cost-effective Medicare for All system.

In 2012 the democrats lost seats. Obama is to this day personally popular. His party paid for his sins.

Obamacare sucked hard. we fucked the 96% for the 4% who got care regardless of how you called it. Breaking out the precondition folks and just writing a check like we always have allows the vast majority to pick and choose among a wider option of plans.

The exchanges are all but dead. The 20 million "new" insured didn't pay for their insurance. It was a completely retarded approach that took 17 months to pass and 8 weeks to get rid of

This bill doesn't help save the exchanges. All they need to do is allow insurance companies to sell inside the entire state and get rid of the county boundaries that currently exist. So broke farming counties that vote Republican can have more than one insurance company.

STFU. You multiple shit poasted and linked multiple BS articles that said expanding the territories in which insurers do business wouldn't help to create lower rates and better plans. Just jump off the building already.
