I would be 0% surprised if he also thinks the original ACA passed with only Democratic votes because the Democrats weren't interested in bipartisanship instead of the exact opposite.
This is what a bubble dweller looks like folks. We have GOP leaders, on camera, saying they don't want to work with dems or that working with dems isn't an option. And this bubble dweller has the nerve to claim dems don't want to work with Republicans? Lol. Of course there are also Democrats on video starting that they would be willing to work with Republicans to fix the ACA.
Also notice how this bubble dweller frames the reasoning to work with Democrats, to take "pressure off the Republicans". Not to get a balanced bill, not because it's in the best interest of the people but because of nothing other than pure political reasons.
This guy deserves everything that's coming to him.

Obamacare will soon be in the ash heap of history.
A horrible idea with its stupid $6,000 deductible.
It's a matter of pride now. If they can manage it, they will shove it through....
Deductibles don't matter if you can't afford coverage. That's the Repub plan.
Also the Republican plans decrease the percentage of medical costs they cover and increase cost sharing. Deductibles under their plans will be higher, not lower.
Back before Bronco Bama decided to stick his nose in healthcare my max out of pocket deductible was only $2000. Then it tripled overnight to $6,000 and its been a crock of shit ever since.

There's way, way too much money in the insurance industry in general, none of these plans can really do anything but move money around and make new winners and losers.
I mean that's literally the whole purpose of insurance.

Mine have gone up at about the same rate before ACA as after. But they've definitely continued to go up steadily.
The whole system is broken. There's way, way too much money in the insurance industry in general, none of these plans can really do anything but move money around and make new winners and losers.
More market principles in health care would be better. Having people "purchase" things that they aren't actually paying for never works as far as controlling cost is concerned.
You are vile. Get help.when are you going to apologize to children dying from cancer that you pray daily for them to die?
You are vile. Get help.
You are vile. Get help.
I don't hope for any of that nonsense.I'm not the one hoping that children and our own forum members die of cancer just because of "liberal tears." That's you. That's you, buckshat. You want people to die of cancer. I don't know how you sleep at night. How do you do that?
Now you're thinking like that gunman who shot up the congressmen.Is he though? While what he might post is vile and hurtful you on the other hand are actually, literally, voting for people who are actively trying to take away health care from people.
Personally, a vile shit talker is preferable to one whose actions lead to despicable things.
I don't hope for any of that nonsense.

So, today my daughter ended up in the emergency room. While spending time in Denmark, my little girl fell off a tree on her side and got hurt.
Well, after 15 years, it was time to experience the Danish socialized medicine again. Has it really become a death trap like some in the US swear by? Is it really slow, inefficient and heartless like any other government agency?
Well, as an aggravating situation, the hospital we went to is in the city of Roskilde, that these days lends its name to the "Roskilde Festival", one of the largest summer music festivals in the world. More than 130.000 people come here to enjoy the music and some alcohol, so a lot of people show up hurt in one way or another.
When we arrived at the hospital, there was a steady stream of people being brought by paramedics from the festival site to the emergency room. Most of them with foot injuries.
So, I expected to be there for hours, waiting to be seen. After signing in, we barely warmed up the waiting room seats, when they called my daughters name. The doctor saw her immediately. None of that seating in a smaller room, waiting for another long time. Immediately she started asking my daughter questions and decided an X ray was in order.
She then gave us directions to get to another part of the hospital and on we went.
We checked in over there and same thing: barely 5 minutes and they whisked us in the room. The nurses there were so nice and accommodating to my daughter. Initially they wanted her to lay down for the X ray, but those movements proved too painful for her, so they immediately changed course and figured out a way to do it standing up. Less than 30 mins later we were back at the doctors room where they had analyzed the X ray and concluded she didn't have any fractures. For good measure they then did a urine test, to check if her kidneys were bleeding and also negative. So my daughter was OK, just a nasty bruise. They sent us on our way.
This whole experience took less than 90 minutes and I felt they thoroughly examined her.
The weirdest part of all this? In no moment were we asked for insurance or credit cards or any form of payment and no bill was produced.
In reality, the Danish society, politicians and citizens believe that taking care of each other is a duty of the country. Something that everyone has a right to. The best care possible to everyone, no matter your skin color, income and occupation. We are all humans and deserve healthcare that is not driven by a profit motive, but by a will to keep people safe and healthy.
In these days where millions of people stand to lose access to health insurance in the US, it's hard to understand how people can have a heart to let that happen, while at the same time calling the healthcare system in the US the best in the world. I experienced something that what's not only better, but has heart and compassion in it, something the US could learn from...
Just an update, as many were worried about my daughter: She's in great shape, playing in the woods, running, jumping and happy as ever. Thank you to everyone that expressed concern
