I see no further point to discussing this with you, since you insist on putting words in my mouth; as there is no fact you don't know; and no chance of changing your mind.
On this issue, there is very little I dont know. And, while you claim to no longer way to discuss this issue with me, you continue to do so.
quote:
I never said that one couldn't wait for medical treatment. You made the aspersion that you were forced to wait 5 months to get your ankle treated. Yet after obama care *poof* all was milk and sugar in the land of honey.
I said I waited. I never said it was milk and honey now, though, its cute you would read it that way, and very telling. MY point was that we all wait at some point in time, even if its just for the weekend. This doom and gloom attitude that suddenly we will have wait times is laughable. There may even be longer wait times. We have those as well. Check out cardiac surgery in certain large cities.
quote:
Again I say - you made a choice. You chose the doctor you wanted to see, and the delay that was tolerable to you. That delay was *your* choice.
It was tolerable for me. As it is for many people. Demand and supply often has its limitations. I just prefer that limitation not be cost.
quote:
As for medicare / medicaid - it doesn't matter. Neither are insurance - where the costs to the subscribers support the benefits afforded them. They are government programs. The cost of which are now slated to exceed 1.85 trillion dollars, despite covering 3 million less people.
Medicaid is a subsidy. Medicare people pay into. Couple that with the fact that Medicare is the program that trains physicians for the field that we are currently discussing and you might finally realize that things are not quite so dry cut as you have beeb lead to believe. BTW? Medicaid is the branch that also covers hospital and long term facility inspections.
quote:
Regarding the "benefit of that expansion". You're right. I don't see the benefit of another huge government program . Another huge government entitlement. Another huge one size fits all approach.
Same thing said about Medicare. Go ask how many who are receiving it if they would willingly give it up... especially among those who are so dead set against the ACA.
quote:
To the contrary. While I personally would *never* support romney care in my state (nor did romney for that matter for he vetoed it) - I would support the ability of states to act as laboratories - to set policy for their states.
I see no compelling advantage for imposing it on people that do not want it.
And, while I can see your point, that states should run themselves, we go back to people being locked into a certain location or position based upon benefits. 50 states, 50 different polices. Could we even vacation anymore?
