The Dismantling of ObamaCare - Ongoing Updates.

@ Scant: They have no balls. I'd be happy to get back to rates based on claims in the employer market. 5,000 OOp is fine. Rates at $10k/year work (for me - even though my typical claims are about $1,000 for the family wellness visits only.) We spend more on dental claims but have been able to keep our teeth in our heads and have something to chew with besides our gums. I'm cheap and some teeth have more tied up in them than most of the cars I drive. It's also ridiculous that a crown is $1,200 and so is a root canal. An implant is $4,000 and then you need to buy the crown. I should have gone to dental school!!

PS, it's cold in Canada.

There are lots of ways to cut out the crap.... we just need politicians who have the balls to do it.

Are you saying that we have too many female politicians?

I have some Canadians insured living outside Canada and for some reason they decided to make their living outside Canada. Talked to a uninsured couple last week..husband had a heart attack in Sonora Mexico...since they were uninsured they paid out more than 850000 pesos to the best hospital in that state...10 days and complications... that is $39000 usd.
I have talked to business owners there in Canada ..a gentleman told me he was taxed greater than 50% and was disgusted..he was leaving and going south... even the churches are taxed. Its not like here in US

Health care has a cost. Premium or taxes or rationing... These just shift the burden. I was in Montreal once and saw a very long line (think 2 or 3 blocks long) to a building. I thought, "Wow, is this a concert or a popular show, or what?" It was a medical clinic. Tell me the good stuff, but there is corresponding bad stuff. The waits for non-emergency surgeries are extremely long. As for more important surgeries and the wait time, well, ask those who managed to survive. So, could we redesign America into govt controlled healthcare like Canada? Yes. But why should we? We would just switch our problems for their problems.

I don't know anybody running north of the border to get surgery

Diane Black is one of our right wing wackos that managed to get elected who insists on being called "Congressman ".

Her emails all explain how she is fighting various injustices with absolutely no workable solutions. It's easy to throw stones.

My Spanish friends say "pinche Trump ". I have to agree. Sad.

Maybe she a butch dyke, or possibly a tranny.

@tony: $39,000 is less than 2 years of my family ACA premium. Stay out of the hospital every other year and be money ahead. Of course, I'd have spent the $20k and another $6400 OOP. Looks like I should be learning Spanish. I hear it's nice when you have American dollars.

Friday January 20, 2017 (Inauguration Day!)

In between inauguration events today, PRESIDENT Donald J. Trump stopped by the Oval Office to sign his first ObamaCare order, designed to ease the path to a quick repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The "freeze" on new regulations should put a stop to most of those frickin REGTAP e-mails we get every day, starting IMMEDIATELY.


""President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday commanding federal agencies to try to waive or delay requirements of Obamacare that impose economic or regulatory burdens on states, families, the health-care industry and others.

The order declares that Trump’s administration will seek the "prompt repeal" of the law, and that the government should prepare to "afford the states more flexibility and control to create a more free and open healthcare market."
The immediate impact of the order was not clear. Enrollment for insurance plans sold under the Affordable Care Act for 2017 closes at the end of this month.

Spicer also said Trump’s chief of staff, Reince Priebus, would issue a memo to government agencies ordering a freeze on new regulations. Trump has pledged to repeal two existing regulations for each new one his government issues.""
