10 Questions for Supporters of Obamacare

[101A]

So it's better in Greece because universal health care has been available for a shorter time?

Hilarious.

By your logic, the US will have undoubtedly the best government health care in the world if it comes to pass.

Government healthcare is bad.

The longer a govt. does it; the worse it gets.

Ergo, the govt. that has done it the longest, does it the worst.

By the author's logic, Britains healthcare will alway be the worst; and everybody elses will be playing catchup (and all getting worse that they were with every passing moment).

13% having difficulty with appointments? That's unheard of with private coverage.

Please provide statistics that support the thesis that private care appointment difficulty is less than this.

















Nothing?

That would make this statistic #21,276 that you have pulled out of your ass this year.

I call bull . Support your statement or withdraw it.

You mean like a woman diagnosed with extremely agressive breast cancer forced to wait a month after her scheduled mastectomy surgery was canceled by her insurer so they could review her case, allowing the tumor to double in size?

I mean, no private insurer would EVER try something as nasty as recission of a contract on the flimsiest of excuses so as not to live up to their end of the contract and pay out money owed to policyholders.

The private market is too efficient for profit motive insurers to leave policyholders in the lerch when they try to collect on their policies.

I was talking about making an appointment with a doctor. Like normal, you are trying to change the argument.
