General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The individual mandate: I and others warned that this was coming, too. [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)I paid attention,
and kept track of clear policy statements which were few and far between, so they were easy to track.
It appears you are resurrecting the depends on what the meaning of the word "IS" is defense (Muddy-the-Water Defense) for your disjointed campaign in this thread.
If you say it loud enough, and often enough,
maybe somebody, somewhere will believe you.
I guess that would be enough for Mission Accomplished.
But these arguments are really a waste of time at this point.
We will ALL know soon enough exactly what will happen when The Mandate is enacted in 2014,
and Tens of MILLIONS of already hard pressed Working Class Americans are forced to BUY
"Bronze" (junk) Health Insurance that most won't be able to afford to use due to high Co-Pays and High Deductibles. Even with subsidies, most of these MILLIONS will have to dig deep into empty pockets to come up with their part of the tithe to the giant For Profit Health Insurance Corporations.
I don't believe these MILLIONS are going to be happy,
especially after Romneyesque photos of Health Insurance CEOs and Execs with their new Summer Homes and New Jets start showing up on the Nets.
Do you know that the term "Medical Bankruptcy" is practically unknown in civilized countries,
but will STILL be BIG BUSINESS even after every part of the ACA is enacted?
In fact, it will probably be even BIGGER BUSINESS as Working Class Americans try to convert their "Bronze" Insurance Policies into actual Health CARE.
These Medical Bankruptcies WILL directly impact the already struggling Working Class Americans who did everything right and sacrificed to buy their "Bronze" policies,
and they will STILL get crushed by "The Uniquely American Solution."
I believe this one thing could lead to the resurrection of the Republican Party,
and sweeps for them in 2016.
ALL they have to do is say, "Yep. We voted against it"
and Democrats will be unelectable for a generation.
I believe we are facing THAT BIG of a disaster, and base my prediction on my knowledge of America's Working Class,
and what happens when you force them to come-out-of-their-pocket to BUY something they don't want, can't afford, and can't use.
Maybe if you had spent more time with Working Class People ,
you would understand what I am saying.
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
