Democrats ready to run with Obamacare

[BlueCaliDem]

9. Finally! Democrats need to stand stronger and be in-your-face when it comes to

promoting the PPACA and the beneficial effects it's already having in this country. They need to thumb their noses at do-nothing GOP liars and tell the ADHD-afflicted American populace WHY the PPACA is GOOD for this nation and WHY Republicans are not.

By the way, implementing a single-payer system is costly and more than most States can afford, in addition to being a less fair deal for cash-strapped young adults.

Sure. Single-payer would benefit middle-aged and older Americans, but in most cases, younger Americans will have to pay with money they don't necessarily have than they do now under the PPACA.

Most young Americans are students or working minimum wage jobs or don't have a job, putting them in the group where they qualify for expanded Medicaid, which costs them nothing, but what covers just about everything. An added benefit of expanded Medi-Cal in CA Denti-Cal is coming back starting May 1, 2014 for people over 21, and is, since January 1, 2014, already open to those under 21 and who receive the new and improved Medi-Cal (expanded Medicaid).

But the silver-lining for single-proponents here is, single-payer is already here, buried in the PPACA under the State Innovation and Medicaid Waiver clause. If States can prove that they have a cheaper solution than the PPACA that covers as many or more people and that won't add to the Federal deficit - meaning, single-payer - then they can apply for the Waiver and get help through Federal funding to put that system in place. And there's only ONE system that can do all of that: single-payer.

Thanks to the PPACA, single-payer is on its way.

As we've seen with all laws that people deem controversial based on tens of millions of dollars in false advertising hit-jobs by America's elite and Big Corp, it's up to the States to begin implementing those laws before it reaches the Federal level and, in this case, follow Vermont's lead (and, I've heard, shortly CA's), and apply for the waiver in order to begin putting single-payer in place beginning 2017.
