Who else wanted single-payer universal healthcare over the ACA?


If I recall correctly, most of us did during that time. So we got the ACA - not perfect, but we resigned ourselves into believing it's a stepping stone to something better. A baby step.

Obviously, Hillary thinks that the ACA is just fine as it is, and doesn't seem too concerned over the skyrocketing cost of drugs. She warned us last night that we shouldn't even try to do better, that it's not possible.

I work with a woman who needs a liver transplant; she's been on the donor list for a few months now. Our employer decided to switch insurance companies at the end of 2015, with new coverage from a new company starting Jan 1. Even though ACA took care of the pre-existing illness issue, my co-worker is now in a state of limbo while the new insurance co. reviews her records and determines what they will and will not cover. During this period of time, she has NO coverage.

She is waiting right now, and said she prays every day the phone won't ring to tell her they found a liver because she's not covered yet.

This is a serious situation. Her life should not be in the hands of an insurance company while they 'decide' what to do with her; she should not have to worry about this on top of her health issues.


Medical care must be available to EVERYONE when they need it, regardless of ability to pay, employment, or income. I supported the ACA, but so long as insurance cos. and pharma cos. are calling the shots, it's not good enough.

Hands of the insurance company DUmmies? Government would give her a pill and ask her to die. I will take my chances with the insurance company.

I agree with Bernie that medical care is a basic human right. Hillary and her supporters do not.

Just think how livid the Bernouts will be when they are introduced to this word:

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

And heads will explode. and. the. purge. will. begin.
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.
