The Republicans are still whining about health care reform and want to repeal it. They are ignoring the fact that more than 2.5 million people now have insurance than before the law was passed. Do they want to take that insurance away from them? That's what would happen if the law was repealed -- not to mention that millions more would be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions. The law was far from perfect, but it was a definite improvement over what came before. And that improvement was due to President Obama and the Democratic Party, because the Republicans tried to kill these improvements every step of the way. I still hope more improvements can be made to our health care system, but I am thankful the Republicans didn't get their way.
Yes!
ReplyDeleteI think they DO want to take coverage away from them.
They have created this Tall urban Myth of insurance companies crumbling or refusing to accept new customers, and any response would be justified.
It's like the insurance tort reform in 2004. We were told that if we basically gave up our right to sue doctors, health insurance premiums would go down.
It never happened at all - in fact, the opposite happened! - but the law remains.
If you lie about reality, anything is justified in fighting the fantasy.
