In reply to the discussion: Paul Krugman- Romney's Sick Joke [View all]PA Democrat
(13,225 posts)5. Can anyone explain how people with preexisting conditions will be covered under Romney's plan
as he claimed last night, when his plan is to repeal the ACA and wait for the states to do something on their own? How many YEARS before that would happen?
How exactly does that work Mittens? And how about the young adults who would immediately lose their insurance when they are no longer covered on their parents' plans? I sure hope none of them have preexisting conditions because they are f***ed.
Mitt seemed to be saying that insurance companies would still offer coverage because they just WANT to do the right thing and don't need that pesky little thing called regulation to put people before profits.

That's precisely how I've been describing it - "R" = RUDE, "D" = DIGNIFIED, bush taught us that!

That was what was so damn frustrating. Mitt got away with his blatant lies.

I sure hope you're right. I could just not figure out why Obama let him get away with so much.

Mitt's lies have energized my wife. She is pissed. And she's not very political.

It doesn't matter whether or not you think people have a "right" to healthcare
