Dear Editor,
Was the Affordable Care Act affordable? I think that is a big NO. So we have a
a shutdown over this.
Democrats need to admit ACA, Obamacare, is too expensive and fix it. Instead, you chose to vote "no" on the clear C.R., but the dems who were in safe seats did the right thing and voted "yes."
Enlisted military, air traffic controllers, and airport security will now be paid. Dems. need to show courage over the leftist/Marxist and bring back the people's party. America is stronger when both parties serve the PEOPLE.

When Obamacare was dreamed up, we were told by Pelosi, "We'll have to pass the bill before you can see what's in it." If I remember correctly, even Republicans weren't allowed in the room.
Fast forward, to today. Those same democrats, because we don't believe in term limits, are screaming, "Republicans, FIX IT!"
The problem with entitlements is that once you hand them out, you can't take them back. Before this attempt at universal healthcare came into being, you could call the doctor and get in the same day. Now, you might get in in maybe a week or two. My doctor said they had to construct more room, just to do the required paperwork...that's government.
Before Obamacare, it was understood that it wasn't cheap, but now it's going to be "unaffordable" according to the democrats.
So whose fault is it? The democrats who invented the monster? Or is it the republicans who didn't vote for it, didn't dream it up, didn't create it?
Yet, in the mind of the democrat, it's on the republicans to "fix it." So you're implying that republicans are smarter and have better ideas because you obviously didn't...and like a whiny teenager, we're supposed to bail you out.
Democrats decided we needed universal care, not the Republicans.
I think you should come up with an affordable plan that taxpayers don't have to pay more for. Can't do it can you? Of course, you can't. The math won't math.
We heard Biden say he'd get lower drug costs.
He didn't.
Trump did.
I expect that Trump is now going to have a come to Jesus discussion with the insurance companies.
That will hold until we have a Democrat in office again.
Then we'll lather, rinse and repeat.
We could go universal care like Canada. They take the approach that when you're old, sick, suicidal, they'll help you end it. Is that really what you want? I have a friend in Canada. They come to the US for care. You know why? They can't get it in Canada. Their friends who are at the Canadian's mercy, are desperate for care. 2 year waits for surgery. Suffering and in pain? Their solution, end it.
I'll pass.
I don't know the answer, but accept the blame when you screwed the whole system up. John's right. Democrats are acting like spoiled teenagers. Just because they wrecked the car doesn't mean you should buy them a brand new one...
That's pretty much where we've been the entire time: cry cry cry cry and don't do a damn thing to fix it. Heck, I saw a video of a young man in a wheelchair, crying about the medical item his insurance wanted to provide, that darn Obamacare -- still won't believe that he only has private insurance because he's under 26 and lifetime caps were eliminated, and when he turns 26, if nothing changes, he'll be able to get his own insurance because "pre-existing conditions" are no longer a thing. But damn that Obamacare.
When all you MAGAts and Republicans hold your elected officials... the officials YOU voted for... to the longstanding promise of better, cheaper healthcare options, THEN I'll care what any of you have to say about Obamacare/ACA.
Wrong again.
The subsidy was paid directly to the insurance companies. Why not directly to the people? That is the flaw. This gives the money directly to Big Insurance; they have no incentive to lower costs.
Get it?
Can't fix Stupid.
