Treble

Start thread. Give examples of controlling cost of

Hospital stay
Epi pen
Glaucoma meds travatan that run $475 over the counter. I pay $80 now for 3 month supply which is two bottles, which would be $950 to the public.
Go.

Yee haa!

I read most of the bill last night. It's not really a health care bill, it's a massive tax cut bill for the wealthy.

And here is the problem.

No where do any of you tards ever address the actual cause of high health care costs. Why? Because the truth fricking hurts and you guys are scared of it.

So scared that you just want to throw more money at the problem without ever fixing the problem. Stupid is as stupid does.

The truth hurts people's feelings and we can't have people with hurt feelings. It's mean. No wonder entitlements are choking us.

No it isn't.

You are stating that the majority of people who have been covered under the ACA but were not covered by expansion of medicare are not paying anything for their coverage?

I don't understand this shite. Is it a step in the right direction?

No. It's a purposeless bill that would harm millions and help millionaires, and it's only being considered because of a cynical attempt to keep an empty campaign promise.

Barely, sideways move at best.

Our country is so screwed.

How do you legislate personal responsibility though? That's the problem.

You can't legislate it. You simply have to make people face the consequences of their choices. You CAN NEVER accomplish that by giving away healthcare.

Despite all that this is what they come up with?

I've never written my Senator but I will be telling him that this is a cop out.
