Another reason Republicans hate Obamacare

18. That sounds like

"I am not sure what you are talking about

Every doc I know is thrilled that people will be able to get insurance including my husband who has had a pre existing condition for decades and has been unable to buy insurance till now.

That is not what we were discussing. We were discussing some administrative docs deciding how care should be given and deciding what care they will deny payment for, just as insurance companies do now. I was making a point that all patients will not fit in a pigeon hole and that may be an issue in the future. You then changed the subject."

...a RW talking point, a misrepresentation of the board.

Medicare, on the other hand, is a big budget problem. But raising the eligibility age, which means forcing seniors to seek private insurance, is no way to deal with that problem....The answer is to do what every other advanced country does, and make a serious effort to rein in health care costs. Give Medicare the ability to bargain over drug prices. Let the Independent Payment Advisory Board, created as part of Obamacare to help Medicare control costs, do its job instead of crying “death panels.” (And isn’t it odd that the same people who demagogue attempts to help Medicare save money are eager to throw millions of people out of the program altogether?) We know that we have a health care system with skewed incentives and bloated costs, so why don’t we try to fix it?

The OP is primarily about the tax on high income earners.
