Cassidy wants JBE to dictate your health insurance plans

Somehow these republicans always seem to want states to use federal money to come up with welfare plans.
Cassidy's healthcare bill is an improvement over ACA but it is heavy on block grants to states to continue what ACA has been doing.
I don't think state bureaucrats are any better than federal bureaucrats in making healthcare decisions.
If Cassidy's bill does not remove the state regulation of health insurance companies and allow for policies that transcend state borders then it is a no go for me.
Who really wants JBE and his bag toters like Alario and Karen Carter Peterson and Morrell and Broadwater deciding what healthcare will look like in Louisiana?
Can you imagine how much money he would raise in campaign contributions from healthcare providers????

By the time this plan would be in place Jeff Landry will be governor.

What is his thinking on this??

Am I supposed to feel better about that?
Putting that much money in the hands of Louisiana politician is dangerous regardless of what party he belongs too.

The majority of people in this country, and the vast majority of politicians, think that the government should have some backstop involvement in health insurance.
If the government has to regulate health insurance, I'd much rather it be at the state level than the federal. At least state leaders are (a little bit) more receptive to the people and the varying needs of each state.
The "old way" pre-2010 did not work for our country. Sure, it worked for some people in our country, but to have 1/5 of your nation without access to quality heath care is a bad situation.
of course ACA made it worse.

Everyone has this (and had this)

I'm thinking that this really only applies to the medicaid waiver more than anything....right? It's not going to affect anything on the private / employer provider end

Don't be stupid and try and elect his guy....he does not know what he is doing even as AG....he just talks the game you want him to talk.

If you really want to tell someone that you should relay that to JBE....right now JBE is electing Landry all on his own.

Government should operate at the most local level possible. I have no problem with block grants for health care. If another state does it better, let the Medicaid recipients move to that state.
Win, win.
Win, win.

I would argue that JBE with a huge assist from the Republicans in the legislature would be helping to elect Landry. The Republicans don't have any solutions other than "cut the spending" which sounds nice....sounds....conservative but they can't cut spending right now any more tan they already have. They will not call a constitutional convention....and I suspect if Landry were in they would not call one either
Maybe one day the state will learn not to peg their entire budget to the price of ONE volatile commodity. Remember it was a Republican that got us into this mess. Not a fan of JBE just stating the truth

Access to and acquiring are two different things.

Gosh wouldn't be wonderful if the government was only a backstop??

Worked much better for me and much better for most people. Mandating that people purchase something of a particularly quality and then subsidize them to do it is just wrong. There were millions BTW that still didn't buy it.

The problem in LA is the state finds way of diverting funds or skewing legislation towards activities or efforts beyond the original purpose.
e.g., 80's gambling money diverted from education.
Without accountability, it's a terrible idea.
Cassidy should know that.

Cassidy's goofy-arse only won because it was worst timing of the century for Landrieu.
I'm waiting for someone to take him out next election.

Cassidy had a lot of input in the Senate health bill.
The idea that a doctor is who we ought to use to write a health bill is a little absurd.
It's like the democrats talking about how well the medicaid expansion is working. What cannot be debated is that providers, like doctors, are getting a LOT more money from the government. Consequently the democrats like JBE are getting a lot more campaign contributions from providers.

I would think the Dems are also supported by drug company contributions too.
Not sure though, but makes sense.
