My Cousin The Left Wing Idiot

edited May 2017 in General Discussion
My wife made plans to visit my cousin in Greensboro yesterday after we went to the pottery festival.

He is so upset they have repealed Obummer care. He told me 40,000,000 people will lose insurance. I just asked if he knew what was written in the new policy. He told me no. I asked him if he did not know what was in it how could he make a decision.

That made him madder. I had him so mad i thought he was going to have a stroke.

It is fun to mess with people on the left though.

    Hey, if you are not willing to work for what you receive, why should those that are willing to work, provide for you??

    Sit down and shut up, if you are not willing to work for what you get.

    No sympathy from me.

    I work 6 day work weeks at a very physically demanding job.



    KMA........lazy MF'rs.

    There was a comment about "the left being triggered lately" on a GBGD thread. Among other things, probably the obummer care being "REPLACED" has probably sent a few "back over the edge".

    What makes people so sure they're right when the impending collapse of Obummer care is just around the corner ?

    I do, however agree, with others that say, " You had 7:years to come up with a replacement. This is the best you could do??"

    Absolute Idiots.

    Amazing how many don't do their homework......I remember reading something about removing the log from your eye before complaining about the toothpick or something like that.

    This one doesn't eliminate the teet for employer sponsored pre-tax health insurance or self employed pre-tax so you are still working to provide for others. duh

    Estimates I've seen for the cost of this little benny is around a trillion dollars a year.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Conservatives / Republicans dislike Obamacare because:

    Republican distaste exists for ideological, economic and historical reasons. Start with the ideological. The fundamental mechanism behind Obamacare?that Americans who can afford to buy insurance directly from a provider are charged higher premiums to help to pay for the subsidies provided to those who buy their coverage from government-run marketplaces is the sort of redistributive economics that is anathema to the party of small government.
    http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2016/12/economist-explains-1

    Personally I dislike paying for some else's "stuff" or worse yet have a large portion of my Medicare benefits reduced becasue Obummer handed out millions of Medicaid Cards,,, an don't tell me that does NOT have a direct cost effect on Medicare and it's costs, thru reduced payments to the doctor / health care.

    Obamacare was another of Obummers WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION schemes.

    IF EITHER bill is great our politicians should be first on and then we can go from there. If the democraps had proposed Trump care they would have supported it all the way

    Insurance is not a right

    The Democrats would've supported killing anybody that was sick if it came from Obama . Not one of them had a chance to read the proposal when they passed it so they had no idea if it contained that.

    And I bet 100% of them have still have not read the cow cookies that they signed for in Obama's "bleen the nation care"

    Here's the funniest part. Nothing has been done yet.

    The House of Representatives has passed a bill. So what? The Senate still needs to pass something and if it is not exactly the same as the House bill the two bills will have to be blended into one bill in a conference committee. THEN that NEW BILL has to pass the House and Senate before it can go to Trump to sign into law.

    So the haven't repealed anything yet, and if anyone says they know what the final bill is going to include they are either lying, stupid or both

    Well "Day" I hope you enjoy Trump Care! A health care plan for rich people, and written by Blue Cross, United Health Care, and Aetna, this ought to be GOOD! It is so good the folks that passed "I Do Not Care" kept their deluxe insurance plan and made sure they are not in it! Guess who gets to pay for that?

    The left wingers are like the Madoff investors: they just can't believe that they've been swindled, & the money is gone. Their reading comprehension is non-existent: they don't remember that Obama's healthcare advisor has already admitted that 1) you will pay $2,500 a year less, 2) if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, 3) if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, & 4) your pre-existing conditions will be covered, ARE ALL LIES.

    The libs in Congress admitted that ACA had "holes" in the plan; ask THEM why they didn't tweak it for 6 1/2 years. Don't blame the Republicans for not coming up with their own plan; who was going to come up with the millions that a real plan would cost?

    The ACA was designed to fail after Obama left office. It only worked for 6 1/2 years because trillions of OUR money propped it up, BUT THE MONEY IS NOW GONE. The big insurance companies - Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, United Health are all dropping out. ACA has FAILED, you have to do something different if you want coverage.

    Your exactly right, Nobody has any idea what will be in the bill when it is signed. In fact it may never get through both houses.

    If it does, it won't be anytime soon. So Obamacare will continue to crash, and the Rs will now take the blame for not fixing it. Rock and a hard place.

    Fact is our health care system was screwed up before Obamacare screwed it up more. I am a retired healthcare consultant and I honestly don't know how to fix it now. What a mess.
