• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Obama care collapsing.....

Name ONE thing we were promised that came through as promised?
Pre existing conditions covered.

(I see others mentioned this too. As you did not know this most basic aspect of the program, clearly you need to bone up on the issue before coming to grand conclusions either way.)

My goodness. The list of the things that came through as promised goes on and on.

Im all ears re a better system that provides these basic expectations in a way that doesnt require life crushing expenses for the individual or explode the national debt.

The only way I've heard of that accomplishes that is:
A. single payer that cuts out the vast insurance parasite industry.
B. some limits on whats covered. We cant afford every single maximal intervention for everyone at every stage of life.

Can't wait to hear how the Republicans plan to fix it!

I'm sure the solution will be coming never.

Follow the money -

Make a law that there can be no lobbyist - no PAC Money, no contributions to any politicians - then also bar them from any stock purchases connected to the health care industry.

Watch how many still support them.

You are way too ignorant about this topic to be making grand claims. Just go learn the basics about whats in the the law.
Does that mean you can't back up your grand claim?

The only grand claim I see in this thread is that Obamacare is collapsing. It’s been over 9 years (15 since it was signed into law).

How about we start with backing up that grand claim first?

No, it means that you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re attempting to shoot more blindly partisan barbs, but are so uninformed about the subject that all you’ve succeeded in doing is make yourself look foolish.

Many of us have given you examples of goals that were realized. Why not take that as a jumping off point from which to educate yourself?

Good that the tribe sticks together, but I did not ask either of you. And the silence from the one I did ask is deafening
They probably have other things to do with their time than to be replying to a 9 year old zombie thread you chose to revive for goodness knows what reason.

There’s also a PM or ignore function if you don’t want to reply to others but don’t you cop an attitude with me just because your thread has backfired.

For those who forgot


During the 2008 presidential campaign, then-Senator Barack Obama promised that his health reform plan would “lower your premiums by up to $2,500 per family per year.” But since his signature law, the Affordable Care Act, went into effect, premiums have nearly tripled, and deductibles have more than doubled. The cost of coverage for a family of four has increased by more than $10,000. Here are some charts that illustrate the changes.

What is the GOP plan again?


Greatest example of tribe speak I have seen in years IMHO

Let's review

Democrat plan - not one Republican supported or voted for it.
Democrat run
Democrat executed

Republicans fault - got it!
Well, who came up with the plan the ACA was based on? The Heritage Foundation. Who tried to implement it once before, back in 1993? The GOP.

The designers and operators of the program that got so expensive it needs to be subsidized by the American taxpayer.

That is who.
And who is that designer again?

And why is for-profit health insurance so expensive? Why, so it can generate billions in profit every year, a lot of which goes into various campaign contributions. "Follow the money" indeed.

-- A2SG, but I do agree with your basic point...eliminate the ACA and replace it with a more comprehensive, far more cost-effective single payer plan!

Is that why so many Republicans voted for it?

Oh, wait, not one did.
