    That is not what he said. He said
    In other words, medical care cannot be compared to driving a car on public roads.

    If they don't pay, then the providers should not provide anything. There should be no tab.

    I doubt it because I said that. But, if he/she did, we agree.

    And yet, they do... and there is.

    Denying reality might be considered "Gospel Truth" among Trump loyalists... but it doesn't work in the real world as well.

    So they should stop treating people who can't pay. Deadbeats, as you call them. End of problem.

    Do you really believe that is not what he meant?

    Some say that, because Fake Don lied about "something terrific!" healthcare that "covers everybody!" at "less cost!," and never made any attempt to pass it - even with a Republican-controlled House and a Republican-controlled Senate for two years - TrumpCare was never achieved.

    The TrumpCare he was eager to sign into law, but Republicans failed to pass, had provisions such as

    Allowing states to obtain waivers to allow insurers to charge more for pre-existing conditions
    Under Obamacare, health insurers are prohibited from charging higher premiums for individuals with pre-existing conditions. Trumpcare allows states to obtain waivers to allow insurers to charge more for people with pre-existing conditions. However, the higher charges would only apply to individuals with pre-existing conditions who have a gap in coverage.

    Allowing insurers to charge older adults up to five times the rates charged for younger adults
    Obamacare limited insurers to charging older adults a maximum of three times the rates charged to younger adults. Trumpcare will raise the ratio limit from three to five.

    Trump has not indicated whether the TrumpCare he hopes yet to pass will be his campaign confection or the far different version that he almost signed into law.

    Uhm because its a law and once again it's a privilege to drive a car.

    It's not a privilege to be born as you claim, it is a right


    And once can pay for your own bad behaviors yourself, I wasnt born to serve you

    States like South Carolina IRS garnish wages if people dont pay, why doesn't all states do the same thing?

    What is it with you in dead? Do prisoners pay for health care now? Do illegals? Do people in states like Georgia who didnt opt into Obamacare?


    It has been reported numerous times 40% of Americans make $15 bucks or less do they have $5,000 laying around to pay the deductible every year before the obama care insurance kicks in ? It's not health insurance.


    Once again Obama care is not health insurance....its subsidizing rich people just like car insurance is and people with bad behaviors in life

    Pay for it yourself.

    Are you trying to draw a parallel between mandatory health insurance and auto insurance? You dont have to drive a car on public roads, If you own a large property, you are free to drive all you want with no lincense or insurance, you are not FORCED to buy auto insurance unless you CHOOSE to drive on public roads. It's not the govs place to FORCE you to buy a private product. Period.

    You keep jumping into debates without first bothering to find out what they're about. That makes your posts particularly nonsensical.

    Q.E.D.

    "Some say that"

    Yes, "Some say that" there is no Trumpcare because...there is no Trumpcare. What's worrying are the ones who delusionally believe there is in fact Trumpcare.

    The last three years have not been kind to the sanity of TDS sufferers.

    No! I'm trying to dispel the absurd comparison. I believe the poster I responded to was, though...

    I don't know... This guy seems to think so...



    And I'm pretty sure the guys behind him aren't smiling and clapping at Obama.

    OK, my recent experience. I have kidney stones and a bad UTI and I'm not yet 40. First visit with the urologist 215$

    So I looked into a bare bones ACA policy, 138$ A MONTH and a 5K deductible. The chances of my total treatment being over 5k are slim, before this I have a perfect bill of health so an ACA policy is not worth the paper it's written on and even IF my treatment exceeds 5K the chances are an ACA plan will not cover a specialist. So what would be the point of that policy, in my shoes? I'm just paying cash, for now.

    What is my share? Why can’t you answer that? How is someone who pays their own bills a freeloader? That’s bizarre.

    So when you say you don’t trust me to pay my bills, you think you’ve made a brilliant point. But if I say I don’t trust you to fund the collective, it’s unsubstantiated claims? Ha.

    What won’t work is interjecting nonsense about Trump into our discussion. I find it amusing when the best argument someone has is defamation by erroneous assumed association with a politician. I guess that’s about all your left with. So it goes.

    Exactly, by posting you dont have 5 grand before it kicks in..

    Obama care never was health insurance.
