re: Killing Americans... why Bobby Jindal needs to stop his lies regarding Medicaid

Sure.

Ouch, what?

You obviously don't know the difference between these two concepts:

coverage for major medical

versus

coverage for major medical, only


Please tell me you can see a difference. Please.

Do you also have a problem with things like sets and Venn diagrams? I imagine you do.

Thanks....the very next sentence says:

"The degree of financial protection can be debated" Obviously leaving the door open for Catastrophic ONLY plans.
try and keep up

Now, more on that "leaving the door open for".

Yes, indeed, the Heritage Foundation left the door open for the government to choose MAJOR MEDICAL ONLY as the mandated policy. But it did not call for MAJOR MEDICAL ONLY policies. It said that major medical should be included as the minimum level of coverage within the final mandate that could be determined by debate.

It's truly, truly sad that you can't see the difference.

The debate is over. The minimal financial protection that the government chose after debate includes things over and above major medical. That's perfectly consistent with what the HF called for.

His objection then boils down to one fact that annoys him: that more people in Louisiana would be covered at government expense. That's an ideological rather than a practical objection, one that has flown the coop when most of the rest of America is all too willing to accept the upside of the ACA.

You're an idiot. His objections is that sure, the Federal gov't will see the match in funds for the first ten (10) years of the expansion.

Then the burden falls back onto the state to provide the increase in the matching funds, which we do not have money in the budget to provide.

quote:

and if the state can't provide that one tenth when that bridge is crossed then it can't and it won't, anyway.

---

Then you will get on here, again, and claim that Jindal is trying to exterminate poor minorities because he wants to protect rich people.

quote:

---

The state will only have a reduced liability for a term, then their liability rises.

The state's liability under the law never exceeds 10% of the cost.

Once you're in, you're in forever.

If you can't pay for something to continue it ends, idiot.

BOOM SHACKA LACKA !!!

Do you know what a bootstrap argument is?

Does it matter to you the heading under which the paragraph quoted is:
"Every resident of the U.S. must, by law, be enrolled in an adequate health care plan to cover major health care costs." (what you defined as catastrophic plans)?

So every plan must cover major health care costs....agreed? This is not a limit...but a baseline....agreed?

Lets look at page 58, shall we?

"As explained in Chapter 2, workers would be required by law to obtain adequate insurance to cover major- or 'catastrophic"-family medical bills"


Page 59:
"Ideally, consumers should purchase as much possible of their routine medical care out-of-pocket and use health insurance only to cover very expensive and unpredictable illnesses."



Keep digging Rex..

OK...now lets look at some other aspects, and you can tell me how it fits with Obamacare.

Page 35:
"Thus if the ailments of the system are to be cured, the root cause must be addressed. Simply adding new programs or introducing another layer of control will fail to correct the underlying problem"
