Barack Obama also weighed in on the proposed legislation, one of the few moments that the former president has commented on current political events since leaving office.

Conservatives are pressing to eliminate more of the government requirements embedded in Obamacare, but any concessions to them risk alienating moderate Republicans worried about people losing health insurance.

You win the internet for this entire week!Sounds good in theory. However, as long as there is an FDA, CMS and other regulatory agencies that overburden the healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, insurance companies and hospitals with outrageously costly regulations there will never be a free market. Very few can compete and survive.Bitter Clinger wrote:They should just simply REPEAL Obamacare and let the free market take over!

No theory here. Repeal in full Obamacare, a socialist wealth redistribution scheme that has ruined what was the best (not perfect) healthcare system in the world. And yes, drain the swamp and send the corrupt appointed Communist party like government beaurocrats far away. In fact, send them to Ireland, Mexico, Singapore, China and the like and bring back American healthcare manufacturing, forced overseas by the FDA, punitive taxes, and the false siren song of cheap, albeit low quality labor.mojo84 wrote:Sounds good in theory.

We all have to remember the system was broken before Obamacare was passed. Going back to what we had isn't the answer either.
As I contemplate the Republicans and how they are handling things, primarily healthcare, Leon Lett and these two plays keep popping into my head.anygunanywhere wrote:These bozos have had 7 years to develop the legislation needed to fix this. They will be abject failures.

The GOP will save us.

I think most on here agree it's not the government's job to pay for people's health insurance or health care.Flightmare wrote:

While those are compelling tragic stories, they do not give the government the right to tax everyone, against their free will, to provide for those people. Stop taxing those of us and to paraphrase your words, "millions of people like us", many of us who continue to go to work each and every day regardless of health constraints, and instead make it easier for those folks you know to obtain and pay for their own care. And BTW, if taxes were lowered, voluntary contributions to legal charities, many of which can help people like those in the examples you gave, would rise as well. But to support or encourage Obamacare, which FORCES me to pay for things that I do not believe in or support, and things that actually destroy my ability to earn an income, like the medical devices tax, is an exceedingly one sided viewpoint.philip964 wrote: What Obamacare did do, that I am personally aware of, was that it allowed two friends who were uninsurable to get health insurance for the first time in awhile. One had a seizure during college while she was under her parents insurance. The other developed diabetes while on Cobra after changing careers.
A simple repeal of Obamacare would have left both these friends out in the cold again. There were most likely millions of people like them. Everyone of them would have been a tragic story in the news, if it was simply repealed.
