The sabotage of obamacare begins.

[Industrialsize]

Republican House, Republican Senate, Republican President 1, 2, 3, govern................

There is no coherent Republican healthcare plan. There is a bill passed by the House which has approximately zero chance of passing the Senate for many reasons, chief among them the Meadows-MacArthur amendment.

And the various proposals in the Senate had widely disparate provisions, none viable obviously.

Crickets.

 

[Max_Polo]

Here's one for you. Do you see any flaws in PPACA? If yes, what are they and what fix would you propose?

I gotta run jump on a plane, but more later. We might actually find the second thing we agree on.

Chirping.

It is remarkable how you use English words but you aren't really speaking English. Why do you post with such odd formatting, sentence structure and grammar? Is English not your first language (serious question)?

Says the man who has shown no command of ANY of the issues regarding the healthcare debate of 2017. You are not alone. No one from the right wing on LPSG has shown any knowledge of actual healthcare policy. The ACA has a 1:3 community rating. All republican plans have a 1:5 community rating. How will that effect premiums?

How can anyone have any debate or discussion with you when all you do is post news articles and talk about how dumb and unknowledgeable anyone who disagrees with you is? For fucks sake, you are talking to a Doctor and telling him you are smarter because you are a freaking nurse. You are delusional.

What is the Republican healthcare plan and why do you support it?(I'm smarter than a lot of Doctors)

What is YOUR plan Mr. Nurse?

I knew you would deflect a POLICY discussion. Have a nice day.

I've laid out my free market and medicare for all plans. Go search for it. You've presented NO original ideas.

Actually, I think @BULLDOG00 was commenting on your failure to respond to my questions to you; I replied to yours. And I thought we might have a productive discussion but you appear to be uninterested in that.

Trump Cuts Obamacare Ad Budget by 90 Percent Because Who Wants People to Actually Have Health Coverage Anyway

Trump Cuts Obamacare Ad Budget by 90 Percent Because Who Wants People to Actually Have Health Coverage Anyway

At least he's sticking to his (lack of) principles.

 

[TexanStar]

Right.

On the one hand, this makes him a total schmuck.,

On the other hand, for those that voted for him, this is Trump exercising what power he has to bring to fruition the promises he made during the campaign. If he can't get Obamacare killed directly right now, he'll sabotage it and then let it die off when that's the only sensible option because he's fucked the whole thing up so much. Point being, when everyone's so incredulous that his supporters still support him, this is why.

What with it being mandatory, enforced by the IRS and now years in place, do we really think we need advertising to inform purchase decisions? And if advertisement sells insurance, you'd anticipate UHC, BCBS, Aetna, and other doing more.

Among health insurance ads, most (68 percent) ad spots were sponsored by insurance companies themselves, 15 percent were sponsored by HHS, and state exchanges made up 12 percent of total ad spot sponsorship (Figure 11). Looking only at health insurance advertising that refers to the ACA, sponsorship spans across health insurance companies (39 percent), HHS (31 percent) and state exchanges (24 percent). Advertising from state exchanges was concentrated in three states – California, Illinois and New Mexico – accounting for three-quarters of what exchanges aired.​

Given how much is spent on advertising to inform just about every other purchase decision--some of which, if not mandatory, are pretty indispensable--I'm not sure why healthcare should be the exception.

If this purchase decision is driven by advertising, one might assume those standing to profit from it (Aetna, UHC, BCBS, etc) would do whatever they thought would effectively encourage the purchase (ie they'd advertise). And in fact, they do and they're good at it. Not a government function or particular skill.

So are you suggesting that slashing the government's healthcare advertising budget won't have much effect on enrollments?

If so, Trump won't be happy about *that*!
