An open letter to John Boehner

Pingfah

Well, the profiteering corporations are the insurance companies right now, and they still will be once ACA goes into effect.

As I say, this is why they should have gone single payer, take the profit motive out of it.

Nobody in America will ever be denied care. Go to an emergency room and read the rules on the wall. I know this first hand... It worked for me...

this is the problem.

the uninsured go to the er, get treated, can't pay their bill, so the hospital bills my insurance $34 for a $2 ace wrap.

this is the problem with our system.

the uninsured do not pay the hospitals, which drives up the cost for all the rest of us.

if you insure 30 million people it automatically drives costs down, because they will, you know, have insurance to pay their bill...

My wife was put in intensive care with a similar condition as shawshank... it was a true emergency not a common cold.

See my last post, I am far from a freeloader and only used govt assistance as last resort. Only once in my life while my wife was pregnant and had a heart problem after the birth.

Just like the millions of illegals that use the hospitals soon. Except they can go after the is citizens via courts for payment.

I'm sorry your wife went through that. That said, the kind of medical emergency she experienced is the exact reason why people carry insurance. If you opt not to carry insurance there is no reason why others should need to subsidize your medical bills should there be another such emergency.

I'm not a big fan of the ACA but stories like this remind me it is not all bad.

obamacare is the same bill as romneycare, and it is the idea of the heritage foundation, a conservative thinktank.

so what the fuck is the problem, republicans?? it is YOUR BILL!

:fp: :fp: :fp:


seriously, your guy ran on repealing obamacare, then he LOSES the election, and you lost seats in the house and senate.

is the guy who won the election supposed to govern the same way the losing guy would have???

:nono: :nono: :nono:

come on now. you all are more intelligent than that.

did bush govern the way gore and kerry would have? did clinton govern the way dole would have?

you all need to wake up from this fantasy world you live in that somewhere states that temper tantrums do in fact make you get your way...

gimmesometruth27

hmmm

12 republicans now ready to fund the government no strings attached...they are jumping from the sinking ship that is the gop brand...

Why, he is representing what the conservative base wants.

And they lost the election.

I know that the Tea Terrorists don't care about the "will of the people" if it doesn't agree with them but.... there is no end to that sentence.

He lost the election. The people have spoken. I'm so sorry if a few policies have to be cancelled because they don't fit with the new law. Shit happens. Luckily, there's a new Health Care Insurance Law which is designed to make it "affordable" for as many people as possible.

Isn't that lucky?

remember POD, these are republicans you are talking about. they do not want to do a fucking thing to help anybody other than their rich buddies. they would rather shut down the government than allow 30 million people to get health insurance. the same people who, mind you, ALWAYS vote to fund raining bombs down on other countries...unless obama wants to do it... :fp:

gimmesometruth27

ok now. 17 republicans have come out today saying they want a clean bill to stop the shutdown. those 17, plus the 200 democrats would pass the vote to end this standoff. boehner will not allow a vote. fuck this guy.

i called his office and yelled at a staffer for a few minutes. poor kid, but i feel better now.

Prince Of Dorkness

we're up to 18 now.

but it won't happen.

The Koch Brothers own John Boehner and he won't allow it to come to a vote.

This is the grown up equivalent of a child losing a game of Monopoly, flipping the board over, bursting into tears and running out of the room.

Well, since Boehner is known for crying, this just seems so fitting. So embarrassing for this country. I'm embarrassed.

Anyone who supports a party who cries like a bunch of children when they don't get their way is delusional. And that's the GOP. They caused the shutdown, they have no clue what compromise is, they don't know how politics is supposed to be run and they have a leader who surely doesn't deserve to be a leader.

No one party caused any insurance company to cancel anyone's insurance. Your insurance company did that, while pointing the finger in the other direction.

The current GOP is in shambles, and they are trying to take the rest of it with us. I think the ACA is a big mess, although the goal is laudable. But this attempt to force their radical conservative agenda on the US holding the government hostage is outrageous and should be illegal. As is the gerrymandering that ensures these idiots re-election despite their radical views

they did not get their way so they are gonna hold the government hostage.

the gop says they are pro business. how is shutting down the government going to help business?
the markets are already affected by this.

how is taking health insurance away from 30 million plus americans a good thing?

republicans do not give a flying fuck about the middle and lower class.

Yes....

This is true for emergency conditions only. This is not the answer for people with chronic illnesses and cancer. You will not get this treated in an ER unless you have an acute or very advanced problem
