what.....did....i.......just read

 

[Black Panther]

this is already happening

As @Behelit said above, can you explain how repealing the ACA would stop, slow, or otherwise have no effect on premium increases?

 

[Bernie Madoff]

@Bernie Madoff

I don't want to hear about this ever again, even when McCain tells you your better as friends.

 

[Dr. Acula]

Dude is just lost.

 

[Bernie Madoff]

I just realized, this dude doesn't realize that this bill failed with only 49 votes.

What the fukk is he talking about?

This wasn't a supermajority issue. Our president is a god damn dumbass. I'm not saying that just because I disagree. He is a geniune dummy. Good god.

McCain thumbs down need too be the new go to for "negged gif"

Yo if someone could come up with a "Negged" gif for McCain doing his thumbsdown while in the background Schumer is signalling "Dap, UnDap" right after

Do you realize why those are part of the bill you like everything but the mandates?

Im saying getting rid of the mandates were my favorite part. This was the bill to vote for if you wanted to end Obamacare.

 

[Dr. Acula]

I've watched this shyt like ten times

Man this is great.

 

[Meta Reign]

Do you care that this would implode the marketplace and make premiums skyrocket as insurers would increase prices exponentially as they predict millions will leave the market? Without the mandate there is no protection of preexisting conditions or essential health benefits like maternity care.

Just curious, what do you believe is the fix to our healthcare system? I'm not attacking. I'm genuinely curious because I want to have an actual discussion with you about it.

By the way, I'm not a corporatist on this. If it was up to me, the health insurance industry would not exist or be greatly reduced and blame them for us being in this situation in the first place. But I don't believe "market solutions" work in favor of consumers in this case. It's not like choosing between an iPhone or android.

If youre basing this supposed "explosion" on CBO estimates then I wouldnt take it too serious. I mean their estimates as far as Obamacare were completely off.

 

[3Rivers]

I shytted on McCain (still feel the same way about him) but he actually delivered tonight

Edit: He hit Mitch with the Batista thumbs down gesture in front of his face

@3Rivers we need a McCain face on Batista and Pence, Trump face on Flair & Haitch

 

[Dr. Acula]

Not basing this on estimates, though you're wrong about "completely off" and neglecting the reason.

I'm basing this on basic economics. If you tell an industry they are losing millions of customers then that means they scale back production, work to shore up profits, and usually that burden is passed to the consumer. That means higher costs for you and less options.

Conversely, Obama was against the mandate initially but was convinced otherwise because if you're going to say that you can't discriminate against people for being born with asthma, having natal issues that would make babies surpass their lifetime caps before even being able to buy their own insurance, or god forbid you get pregnant or went to the doctor for that one thing when you were a kid, then you need to have healthy people join the insurance pool at a higher number. That is he basic theory of health insurance. All the people who are healthy subsidize the sick and with the hope, when they get sick they also enjoy the same benefits. Remove the healthy people from the pool, then you have a pool of sick people and costs go up and it doesn't work.

Once again, give me your thinking instead of talking points for why what I said isn't the case. Please put some thought into your answer instead of repeating Fox News pundit talking points. Come on dude.
