Satan's Health Care revisionista.

Post by rubato »

Romney is queuing up to switch sides once again and admit that ObamaCare is a good thing and basically the same as RomneyCare.

Serial lying just don't bother this boy a-tall. But his voters are the racist rump who are tying hard to overcome their anti-mormon bigotry to support their anti-logic stance on everything else.

Why Oh Why Did the Republicans Nominate This Clown?

ObamaCare allows parents to keep their young-adult children on their insurance, requires insurers to offer guaranteed issue and community rates, and imposes an individual mandate to purchase insurance on individuals.

Now comes Mitt Romney:

Romney says he won't repeal all of Obamacare: Mitt Romney says his pledge to repeal President Barack Obama's health law doesn't mean that young adults and those with medical conditions would no longer be guaranteed health care.

So there we have it: Romney will keep the parts of ObamaCare that are young-adult coverage, and guaranteed issue and community rates.

It continues:

The Republican presidential nominee says he'll replace the law with his own plan. He tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that the plan he worked to pass while governor of Massachusetts…

So there we have it: Romney will keep the parts of ObamaCare thatimposes on individual mandate to purchase insurance.

So what's left?

Romney says he doesn't plan to repeal of all of Obama's signature health care plan. He says there are a number of initiatives he likes in the Affordable Care Act that he would keep in place if elected president…

Like: the whole thing. Duh.

There is something very wrong with anybody working for, contributing to, or arguing for Ryan-Romney right now.

He's doing some backpedaling & damage control for his earlier statements about Obamacare.

As in, he will begin the process to eliminate Obamacare on his first day in office.

Mitt's Plan

On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.

I really really hope there aren't enough American voters who will vote for Myth in the upcoming presidential election. We don't need a filthy rich businessman who is completely out of touch with the working class to be the leader of our country.

He's trying to appeal to the split personality that the U.S. populace has on this issue - when polled on whether they approve of the individual components that make up the PPACA they say they support them, but when polled on whether they approve of the health care reform as a whole, they say they don't. What's a politician attempting to pander to the electorate to do?

Harry Truman comes to mind and of course Lincoln and Bill Clinton. John Adams was a farmer as well as a lawyer. Nixon and his plain republican cloth? Eisenhower wasn't a wealthy man until later, but can you call a 5-star general working class? Same question about Naval Academy graduate James Carter.

That's off the top of my head. After more thought I'm sure I could give you a longer list.

Gob, please pay more attention. In the USA there is NO working class. Have you heard any candidate promising "good working class jobs". No. All jobs to be created are "good middle class jobs".

AFAIK no USA presidential candidate will really admit that there is in the USA a working class for fear of backlash. Working class = low class. Therefore there is no working class. Just the middle and the Republican enemy classes.

Everyone I knew in Ohio was (at least) middle class - even those who dug ditches for the council or collected the road kill to keep the highways clear. Middle class - every one. You can ask them
