    We're talking about Obamacare, are we not? The whole plan places everyone in the U.S. on it....forces people to buy insurance, and places a LOT more people under Medicaid.

    We can only hope and pray it gets overturned!! IF not, we'll work to repeal it and replace it with something reasonable.

    there is no "on it" to be placed....obamacare is simply regulations on the private insurance market. they are still the ones giving coverage.

    Yes that was part of the plan.

    The supreme court cut some of that.

    Obama and pals wanted to deny medicare money to states that opt out of the program.

    The supreme court said that was a no no.

    Well if i didn't know better i'd have to be thinking about what a convenient way to off your political opponents. heh? Don't support the right Presidebt and your mom and dad will be denied their HBP meds/cancer treatment. Or better yet, you and your christian children. And in such a neutral setting too.

    Why it's such a great opportunity that one might say it almost looks like it was planned.

    I have to ask...if this program adds 30, million folk, subsidizes folk up to 400% of poverty, 'saves' the elderly money, yet costs $1.7 trillion per the CBO, who pays for all this free and cut cost care?

    Nationwide a vast number of doctors refuse to take medicaid patients already...the feds want to add 17 millions more to that list. The left seems trapped in the idea of vast numbers of doctors working tirelessly for cut rate wages so as to make these schemes work. Unfortunately, they do not.

    You forget the key part...More demand for the skill, less compensation for the skill, does lead to fewer folk with the skill

    Don't worry, the "powers to be" will figure all of that out once they read the bill. Until then, we will just fly by the seat of our pants and watch the system collapse around us like a house of cards.

    This was correct.

    It appears Obamacare GUTS Medicare as it seizes $500,000,000 from the seniors.

    Wait until the elders realize how hard they got screwed over.

    The Problem with 'broke in 9 years' is the solution to 'broke' for the feds is simply printing more money and gutting services and declaring the program saved.
