Re: Whatcha think Pawdawg: ACA replacement
Oh, and salty, don't stop with HC insurance. After your company becomes enormously successful, branch out into the other insurances. I want to be able to buy homeowners AFTER something happens to my house. It's stupid I have to pay a premium every month and don't use my insurance. So, after my house burns down or a tornado takes it out, I can come to you and buy "guaranteed replacement" insurance. I'll pay you a fair premium, say $200, and you will spend about $500,000 rebuilding my house. After my house is rebuilt....thanks, BTW...I will cancel the insurance until I need it again.
You can do the same thing for auto insurance too.
Man, thanks. You libtards are awesome.

Former conservatives are buying into this too. Pre-ex and the silly coverage to age 26 clause are both sacred cows. We have another entitlement program supported by conservative politicians.

Would you rather pay even more when the uninsureds show up at the emergency room?

Need a new law. No HC provider HAS to provide services. Post a sign: We reserve the right to not serve anyone. Now, that said, it might not make business sense to agitate the general populace. This notion that a hospital loses $tens of thousands if they serve a non-paying patient is a crock. It's like a hotel comping a room and then saying, we just lost $150. No, they didn't. Only if they comped the room in favor of a paying customer, would they "lose" anything. Otherwise, the room would have been empty that night. At worst the hotel was down a few variable operational costs, probably about $10.
New HC law: NO FREEBIES!!! Everyone has to pay something or you don't get services. Period.

The GOP health care plan (ACHA) is nothing more than a $600 BILLION tax cut for the country's top 2% income group. Who will make up the difference? The remaining 98%.

You think you made a good point here, but you didn't. Let me know if you'd like me to blow it up for you.

Blow it up! I Would think many of us would like to see your explanation.

No worries. We know you, pelosi, chuckie boy schumer, the Hollywood left, the lamestream media, warren buffet, soros, and gates, oh, and fatboy michael moore, will create an insurance company that will cater to the poor....and all those illegals...and will fund abortions on demand. More than that! make abortions mandatory, and retroactive too, yikes!
BTW, show me the independently-verified report on that $600 billion tax cut for the wealthy. Yes, please do. Thanks.

Been watching the expert liars on CNN again I see.
Oh, and Obamacare nor any plan with the "no pre-ex clause" is insurance.
Re: Whatcha think Pawdawg: ACA replacement
Hardly worth our time to discuss the health care bill that just passed the House of Representatives since the Senate is going to ignore it and write their own health care law. What ultimately passes in the Senate will be very different than what the House just approved.

Hah! which is exactly why I knew you couldn't back up your asinine claim of some mystical tax cut. There is no plan...yet.
Re: Whatcha think Pawdawg: ACA replacement
dawg80, you right. Everything is a hypothetical at this point regarding any federal health plan changes or tax cuts.

They have been showing up since the dawn of time in the ER's and have always been treated and they never had a drastic effect on the insurance premiums of the common individual policy holder or the group holder's premiums...

Furthermore, there are these truths...
Everyone outside of a highly affluent area loses on ER.
The costs of an ER are relatively fixed and do not fluctuate based on utilization, so when "uninsureds"...or indigent patients...show up to the emergency room, costs don't go up. Yes revenue is lost on paper to bad debt, but expenses don't increase.
Depending on the area, 15%-40% of ER services result in no payment.
Governmental, non-profit hospitals receive funding on the back end for uncompensated care through cost reporting and reconciliation. This has never affected premiums for insurance companies.

If a college aged adult, 27 years old, gets a 9th year of eligibility to play lacrosse at Northwestern State University, will she be able to stay on her parent's insurance?
