Who here thinks that Nancy and Schumer should

[Boogiemack]

have a revised ACA ready to go ASAP? Putting into law with all the provisions and more protections and a way for the Feds to seed it into action with good supplements to working families and the poor int what it should do. Take that money away from building that wall and building more weapons. We ought to be able to save enough funds from not haiving to pay Trump for his golf trips and the his family's trips at government expense to fund at least six months to a year of new costs.

1. I'm sure they have a plan. I don't expect the SC -- even with all the GOPers -- to completely repeal

the ACA. I'm not even sure SC will do anything to it. If they do repeal it, I bet they have a transition period.

11. I really don't want to find out that you are

Wrong in the first instance or the second.

2. They should, but it won't be overturned before Jan. 20th.

[brush]

4. Why do you think that. Arguments before SOCTUS begin on Nov. 10.

[33taw]

7. Filing a case, getting it accepted, scheduling briefs...and then arguments, discussion

and voting, writing opinions....take much longer than a few weeks. Just my opinion, but it won’t happen overnight.

10. Here is a link to the SCOTUS rules.

13. I thought it was already scheduled for Nov 10th for oral arguments.

3. I think they should have a single payer bill ready. They could call it "revised ACA" if they wish.

The important thing is they should hold it as a threat over anyone who even makes a peep about repealing ACA. A threat that ACA is certain to be replaced with something even more popular. Something that will make them political losers with the American voters.

5. This go around it should flat-out be called ObamaCare ACA! n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

6. What they need to do is remove the first "A"

as in "Affordable .


Why it is that Americans have been so convinced that health "insurance" is a good idea, is beyond me. We are the most brainwashed population in history.

Anyone that understand how insurance works knows that health insurance is a losing bet, and that's why no other advanced country on earth relies on such a thing to cover health costs for their citizens.

I'm sorry, but I am not in favor of keeping things the way they are merely to save the jobs of the thousands of people who work in that business.

For fucks sake, keeping people healthy and caring for the sick and injured should NOT be a profit making venture.

Sorry...yelling into a fan, I guess.

9. We simply don't have time for Medicare for all...we need to get something up and running...

a public option is doable.

14. You're preaching to the choir here but what is palatable to voters is what wins elections.

Many Americans have to be educated to wean them away from the idea that "health insurance" shouldn't exist. That the nation should take care of the health of its citizens. Once Dems win the WH and Senate while keeping the House, then we can do universal coverage for all—and that most likely shouldn't be Medicare for All as Medicare as now constituted only pays 80% of costs.

8. We should have something ready to go...but it won't happen until after the election.
