Republicare

[BrownArmy]

Reduces the budget by $321M by 2026.

$321M or $321B?

$321B would be more impressive.

 

[Catatonic]

Then $321 Billion it is!

 

[moreluck]

Then $321 Billion it is!

That's how the CBO ciphers!

[It will be fine]

Imagine what the savings would be without the tax cuts. If the deficit is really your concern keep taxing the millionaires, they won't miss it.

So the plans that can be offered under the Cruz amendment don't even qualify as insurance. That means if you buy a Cruz plan and get sick you're screwed. Your illness won't be covered under a Cruz plan and since it doesn't qualify as insurance you are locked out of buying a real insurance plan for 6 months. That is some great freedom.

So if it passes, democrats will start branding the sub-standard policies as "Cruz Plans".

The Cruz amendment could very easily destroy the entire individual market. Good thing they plan on voting before the CBO score.

Do you think the system was working before the ACA?
There was certainly a CBO score of the ACA before it was voted on. Currently there is no informed interest group that supports Republicare, insurance companies, AARP, hospital associations, doctors, patient right's organizations, they are all against this bill. That's why it's approval rating is around 15%.

you have to pass it to find out whats in it...

yes

You're the only one that thinks that and obviously wrong. Please articulate what was working well in the health insurance industry before the ACA.

how can you possibly say I am the only one that thinks that when half the country would love to have us return to those days?

this system was designed to fail. the hope was to have it collapse and send us to single payer. so far the ACA is working just as designed.

Most working people had insurance they could afford that actually covered them. In your world everyone must have insurance even if it means the overwhelming majority must now pay a lot more for insurance that does little beyond catastrophic care. And requires provisions to cover items many will never need, further driving up costs. Which is all intended for one thing, driving out private insurers and making the gov't the single payer. That's the objective, not some pious concern for the poor uninsured.

So that's a no on what part of the system was working well pre-ACA?
The Republicare bill is not a return to those days. It's a horrendous tax cut for millionaires that cuts Medicaid.

Citation please.

The system was designed to be fixed. If single payer is the answer (it is) then the sooner we transition, the better.

Employer based insurance is unsustainable.
