Obamascare is what has caused us to have our foot on your necks. It couldn't have happened at a better time. This isn't a passing scandal that will blow over in a few weeks it is an ongoing debacle that will do nothing but get worse. So looking forward to the mid terms.
Hahaha. Well, all of us liberals swore we would keep this a secret, but since you seem to be in danger of receding so far into your republican bubble that you can't even communicate with reality anymore I'm going to share with you how Obamacare is most likely to play out.
Phase 1 is just about getting everyone hooked on health care. All those affordable doctors, medicine, and surviving serious heath issues with your home and belongings intact can be really addictive.
As more and more people join the exchanges and rates bottom out, legislation will allow employers to drop health cover in favor of paid compensation so that the employees can take that money to the exchanges for themselves.
In phase 2, everybody is now insured. The subsidies are a pain in the ass to administer and cost too much, so the government offers its own insurance, with the cheapest rates because they operate across the entire country so their risk is lowest.
Phase 3, people start flooding the government health insurance to get the cheapest rates and broadest networks. Only a few stick with their more expensive policies and narrower networks on principle, we'll call them "republicans".
Phase 4, the government says fuck all these metal plans, fuck having to audit private insurers every year to check their compliance, and turns Obamacare into a single payer government run system. They already have a fair idea how much things cost, because they already insure most people. Everybody gets the same coverage (everything), there are no exchanges because there is only 1 insurer, and instead of paying X dollars for your insurance premiums you now pay X% more in tax.
Everyone in America now has complete coverage and access to any doctor or hospital anywhere in the country, and after a while, nobody feels the sting because it's just another tax. Unless they go and buy their own private hospitals, and I'm sure some of them will, the billionaires on park avenue will see exactly the same doctors as the bums who sleep in their gutters. We'll finally have a health care system on par with every other developed nation!
