Republicans don't understand Health Insurance.

We've been hearing for a decade about a Republican replacement for the ACA. Zero details all these years. Now Vance talks broadly about a plan - that talks about putting people into different risk categories. Well, how is that a "plan"? That is what we had before the ACA and the reason we have the ACA in the first place! Now he says that preexisting conditions will be covered. Well, that is how we wound up with the ACA...

Really what is going on is that the GOP is BUTTHURT that Obama was president when the law was signed and Obama's name is the nickname for the popular law. They would replace with the exact same thing if they could get Trump's name attached to it.

As i stated before...the cult was all for eliminating "obamacare", many without a clue that obamacare is the aca.

@Carla since the Democrats also oppose single payer, the country has no representation in the government, but insurance corporations have plenty of representation.

@Carla Indeed. Most of donOLD's supporters / fans love the ACA but hate ObamaCare...

@Roundandroundwego Yep! Professional gamblers making money off of who lives and who dies (Insurance companies) have the US government by the balls.

Republicans understand Insurance just fine. Insurance of any kind is a business to be profited from as much as possible by shareholders. Its the connection with actual health care provision for people Republicans dont understand..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Trump, leader of the MAGA party divided the Republican party, some were forced out, some resigned. "Who knew Healthcare would be so complicated" 😱

@softspokenman Some years ago I predicted he would destroy the party. And now he owns it through his daughter in law I suspect the best course for genuine Republicans will be to form a new Party. After the election of course..😷

I mean Boebert is from the state where my father learned people in Colorado believed Canada was a soviet republic because we have healthcare in the late 70s so the GOP has not understood healthcare for a very long time.

2017: "No one knew health care was so complicated."

<- Same guy that said he would remove and replace Obama care with a stroke of a pen on day 1.

But no worries... there is a "concept of a plan" now... 7 years later.

@Kwek00 Given the disfunctional chaos that is the current US federal and state beauracracies I see your point. On the other hand its a couple of centuries of doing business this way that has made it near impossible to get anything simple done. I bet the Chinese manage to cut through the red tape in weeks once they arrive..😷

@Kwek00 On that we agree. (thats a start) Most of the other issues are caused by underfunding. And more recently the massive burn out from the pandemic..😷

You're paying a lot more to avoid socialism. Americans really want to avoid socialism. That's their choice.

@Roundandroundwego indeed.

Buh Buh Buh Trump said in the debate that he has "concepts of a plan." Concept are WAY better than a real plan, right?
