Obama Care vs Republicans

[Adak]

The Republicans couldn't stop or even slow down Obamacare, but not to worry - the Democrats own incompetent website, which starts falling apart with as few as 200 calls at one time, has done it for them!

They can't make a web site that works, but they damn sure want to run our health care industry.

Oh yeah!

Adak,

I imagine -- after a little time and whole lotta bucks -- the on-line portal(s) will run just fine.

More's the pity…

Of course. It will take some time, but it will get fixed. I have to laugh a bit at the irony of it all, but we need to give this Obamacare a thorough trial, at least.

Who knows if it could turn out, or be changed into something quite good or not?

That's why I wanted a pilot program of it - get the problems with it ironed out THERE, instead of on the national scale.

You sound like a young guy, and although it's rare, young guys do need some serious medical care from time to time. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for older teens, for instance. Band-aid plastic strips just won't do.

When I was in college, a fellow student had to drop out of a class. When the teacher asked why (he was a good student), he replied he had testicular cancer and would be getting treatments that would make him too sick to come to class.

And I lost two good friends when they were young - both to leukemia.

I know you're a bit of an anarchist, but even anarchists need a doctor from time to time.

This is where the battle for the hearts and minds of the young people are being fought out...

House Holds Heated Hearing on Federal Exchange Website
<snip> House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Rep. Fred

Upton (R-Mich.) criticized the contractors,
saying in September they "looked us in the eye and assured us
repeatedly that everything was on track, except that it wasn't" (Cohen, CNN, 10/24).

However, he added,
"This is more than a website problem.
The website should have been the easy part." Upton said,
"I'm also concerned about what happens next.
Will enrollment glitches become provider payment glitches?
Will patients show up at their doctor's office or hospital only
to be told that they aren't covered, or even in the system?

What if UFO's show up, will aliens be enrolled ?
What if Sasquatches show up, will they be treated ?
What if a Republican shows up... Oh, wait a minute, that's not likely.
