We are a nation largely made up of working people, at one end of the middle class spectrum or the other. Some drive Lexus, some KIA. Some have apartments and mobile homes, others ranch style in suburbs.
But basically, we are mostly working year to year, supporting households, maybe funding a little retirement or 401K, making car payments, spending what we make.
You CANNOT have a profit driven insurance industry, cherry picking, w a resultant 49 M uninsured populace, and succeed, in this dynamic. Ruin and bankruptcy, or a life of financial hell is the result. The system will only work, long term, when people are insured affordably. If you do not, then virtually any serious illness completely devastates them. Who doesn't get this?
You cannot "insure" through the ER, because then it trickles down as a loss, we all pay it, the patient gets no follow up and is bill collector hounded to destruction. That is medical terrorism. I did consumer bankruptcy for 10 years. These are facts. Not teabag bullshit. This is why we are around 50th in HC efficiency and outcomes, including life expectancy. Unless you have insurance and money.
Insurance, if we are to have a profit based system, must be available to all and the risk pool must be wide and deep. What is the matter with the right wing that they don't get this?
I am sick of their stupid bullshit. Most of them know little more about the ACA than the John Birchers billboards, and can't even name the three branches of government. Toothless idiots. They cheer their own demise so the Cock Bros can slop in luxury.
From 50 years ago, these billboards echo, just like the ones in rural, poor, white trash FL and GA, TODAY, telling the toothless "Stop Obamacare" and these minimum wage, underemployed, uninsured morons rally around the call! It isn't knowledge or politics. It's stupidity and divisive racial fatted, just like it always was -- U - v- THEM!!
