Good day all. Since the failed rollout of Obamacare, we have watched costs skyrocket, coverage drop and people growing angrier by the minute. The Progressive Liberals have been trying to find anyone to blame for this fiasco.
Now the Architect of this disaster has found the perfect group to blame for everything that has gone wrong with Obamacare. It’s all the Republicans fault! Here are the details from Fox News:
ObamaCare architect Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel sought Wednesday to defend the embattled health care law he helped design, in a contentious interview with Fox News where he tried to pin the blame for rising premiums on Republican lawmakers.
Speaking with “The Kelly File,” Emanuel acknowledged premium hikes in some markets are a “problem” that needs to be addressed. But he also accused critics of “cherry-picking” the worst-case scenarios.
Cherry picking the worst case? Let’s understand what cherry picking is. It means to select the best of a range of options, or in the case of Obamacare, the worst. This is not what has been happening here. No one was “Cherry-picking” data on the disaster known as the Affordable Care Act, they just reached into a barrel and grabbed whatever was handy. Any cherry-picking that has happened has come from the Progressive Liberal side of the road as they try to find anything that can make this pile of manure look good.
“Some have gone up higher than others, but the premium hikes are because they came in, they did re-calibrate the market. They were trying to get market share, and it is a correction. It is a problem that we do need to address. But it is not across the board,” he said. “And it is going to be a one-time increase.”
Wrong as usual comrade Doctor. Insurance companies aren’t looking for market share, they are trying to survive. If they were actually looking for new markets, you would be seeing insurance companies moving into areas, not running from them as fast as possible. But then, you are a moron.
Emanuel also argued that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and other GOP lawmakers were to blame because of their push to prevent tax dollars from being used to cover insurance company losses.
“Republicans bear some of the responsibility for this,” Emanuel said. “Remember: Marco Rubio eliminated some of the risk adjustment that actually buffered and helped the insurance companies in this situation. He took it out of the budget. And that is a serious problem.”
So Doctor, you are admitting that this whole system was meant to be nothing more than a transfer from the treasury, (That would be the taxpayers), into the bank accounts of private companies? That sounds a lot like Fascism to me. Considering just how unpopular your signature plan has been, Rubio and the others pulling the money out makes perfect sense. In fact, wasn’t one of the selling points you and the other liars made that this wasn’t going to cost the taxpayers anything?
“You are the architect of the law, sir,” Fox Host Megyn Kelly noted. “Let’s start with you. When I get Marco Rubio here, we’ll talk to him. You’re the architect. You said it was going to be stable, and what we’re hearing today from the chief executive of the National Association of Health Underwriters is: In many states, the individual market is ‘in a shamble.'”
A shambles would be a nice way of putting it Ms. Kelly, a complete disaster rapidly approaching total collapse would be another. Now everyone, including some Democrats are talking about making changes, even that SCoaMF Barack Obama. Of course, what Obama, Clinton and the other members of the Progressive International Socialist Workers Party, (That would be Democrats), want now it to fully nationalize the medical and health insurance system.
President Obama and his Democratic allies – including Emanuel – are also responding to a move by insurers to exit ObamaCare markets by pushing a so-called “public option.”
A public option – an insurance plan offered by the government – had been written into early versions of the bill but failed to make the final cut in the law signed by Obama in 2010. Many states have been scrambling in recent months to stop private insurers from exiting the market amid concerns over cost and other factors.
Basically, what a “Public Option” would be is a government owned and controlled “Health Insurance” system in competition to the private insurance system we now have. It would be paid for by massive increases in taxes, as well as premiums paid for by policy holders. Then, like the private systems, the “Government system” would negotiate with medical centers and healthcare providers over payments for services.
In actual fact, they will undercut the insurance companies and drive them out of business. They will then tell hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and medical professionals what they will be paid. The end game for such a plan would also, eventually, forbid any sort of private “Fee for Services” system under penalty of fines and imprisonment. To top it off, they would make it mandatory. Think Hillarycare from the 1990’s and you will see what the Democrats have in mind.
If you would like to see how such a system would work, take a look at the National Health Service in Great Britain, or our own Veterans Administration. Both systems are complete nightmares and are actually killing patients instead of healing them.
We need to pull the plug on this brain dead program. At the very least, we should roll back to where we started, and then carefully look at what really needs to be fixed and how best to go about it. Obamacare was never about helping lower medical costs, it was always about pulling assuming more power into the hands of the Federal Government. Kill Obamacare. Kill it with fire!
