Of course you can't see the plan. Didn't you hear what Pelosi said?
We have to pass the plan to see what's in it.

lol

It's called get a job and buy some health insurance.

F**k the minimum wagers hopes for affording healthcare, I'll pump my own gas f**k you very much.

I'm assuming you had no problem with Pelosi saying, "let's hurry up and pass the ACA so we can find out what's in it" hmmm? It's wealth redistribution disguised as healthcare for all. Premiums, up. Deductibles, up. Keep your plan/Dr., Lie. Drug prices, up. Research Jonathan Gruber and "the stupidity of the american voter" (not a rightwing think tank enoch, sorry) Gov't oversight and massive regulation never fosters innovation and advancement, it only hinders it, no matter what the subject is.

I remember all the hearings and legislative activity that preceded ACA becoming law. As a health care manager, I knew what was proposed. As patients without healthcare, the poor did also. I remember Republicans tearing at every paragraph of the ACA, trying to scuttle it in the legislative process. If the American voter read the paper every day, they would know what happened over the many, many months it took to legislate, then get the ACA through the myriad challenge. If you want do discuss an issue with me, please bring your A game. The childish right wing missives you offer would be funny, if we weren't talking about the healthcare other people need to stay alive. It is hard to be glib when you have seen as many sick people as I have who have no way of paying for what they need.

the heritage foundation in the early 90's as a counter to Hillary Clintons push for universal health care.

but if a company cannot profit from your disease,you ain't ever getting universal health care.

so...suck it peasants!

I don't think that most Americans are opposed to companies that invest money into an enterprise, making a profit. I worked in health care management and public affairs for the VA for almost 30-years and a large non-profit for about five. The non-profit, actually made a profit, but for tax reasons was called something else. The biggest difference between a totally government funded program, like the VA, and private health insurance is that one is more prepared than the other for the unexpected. A big chunk of the money that insurance companies take in is invested to hedge against disasters. If insurance companies did not invest money and make profits, the 9-11 attacks would probably have triggered a deep recession. In the UK, health care administrators hold their breaths through flu season each year, hoping that this isn't the one that takes their system down. People were fine with profits until employers started cutting benefits, by forcing co-pays and larger deductibles on their employees, through their insurance companies. I am sure they chose these over charging employees a premium and spreading the cost to all, to hide the change as much as possible. But, what it did was punish the sick. It is no surprise that these changes evolved during the Reagan Revolution when unionism was in the crosshairs and selfishness was a trait to be rewarded, not punished.

Has anybody seen the plan to have Mexico pay for the wall?
