2020 prospect Michael Bennet says his alternative to eliminating private health insur

[testsubjectalpha]

I would suggest that if you make cinnabuns every morning with 3 cups of sugar, 3 cups of fat, and 3 cups of gluten (flour), and weigh 300+ pounds and have diabetes...buy your own damn health insurance.

I would suggest a model like Remote Area Medical.

Obama care can only be fixed by starting over. Its structure was full of waste and based on bad assumptions.

There is a belief that it was intended to fail so there can be a justification for a complete Kamala Harris type government takeover. I think there’s some credibility behind that belief.

Tahu, seriously, socialist countries lure you in with free. Then they ration healthcare. Rationing is in Obamacare already. Obamacare calls for a panel of statisticians, not doctors, who will decide if you get the medical care you seek or you are rejected. It's in Obamacare, there is no appeal process if your medical care is rejected by the Gov't.

Most people, probably 90% are ignorant. These Democrat politician are not going to tell you any of this stuff you should already know. They are just going to tell you to tip toe through the tulips and everything you want in life is yours any time, for free.

We all know that's a lie.

That’s who they are designed for. You need to check them out. They are a government program which can work. It has worked when it’s been tried.

I think you don’t understand how they work.

You are correct; i'll look for some info on it and see what it says.

I don't go to the doctor every time I get sick or injured. Why do people think that they need to see a doctor for every ache and pain?

I think depending on one's medical history will dictate how and if they'll see a doctor. Either way if they don't see a doctor they shouldn't come into work and possibly infect other people.

It's quite possible that you are very correct on this. They can start over but in the mean time they need to develop a program that is viable before they do away with what's left of Obamacare.

I would suggest a model like Remote Area Medical.

I went to their website; it's strictly an all-volunteer group which depends mostly on donations. Their clinics are far and few with no description of what they provide (i'm not even sure of if they even provide rudimentary medial care)only whether its medical or dental, plus most of their clinics are set up in mostly southern cities with the northeast, west coast and middle America strangely being left out. No listing of medical personnel & their credentials whatsoever.

If the government attempts to set up a program like Remote Area Medical I suspect it will fall far short of the American people's needs and send people clamoring for the return of Obamacare.

It is a failure.....it was designed to fail. They knew it wouldn't cover the majority of the population. Plus BO care hurt more people than it helped.

The bill of rights spells it out. The "pursuit of happiness" comes to mind.

When you were 20 and 30 your pursuit of happiness didn't include healthcare. Did ya notice that?
