I think Ill wait for an informed decision, when it comes out.
IS Romney suggesting romneycare as his plan for the rest of the country, NOPE
where is their plan????
so you care??
Reform has been needed for decades, yet the right hasnt had a "decent" reform idea , just oppose anything that comes up from the left.
YAY helping people who need help, they can just go without the care they need.GAH
But unlike Obama's healthcare law, Romney's plan could fundamentally change the rules for the more than 150 million Americans who get insurance through their employers. These workers get a large tax break because their health benefits are not taxed. Businesses that provide insurance also get a break because their contributions to their employees' health plans aren't taxed.
In place of that system, Romney would give Americans a tax break to buy their own health plans, regardless of whether their employers offered coverage.
"This gets greater consumer choice so that people can buy what they want, not just what their employer wants to give them," Romney said last year while explaining his plan at the University of Michigan.
So those that get thier health care through an Employer would see a bigger dip into thier paychecks from it but would be refunded a large portion of it on thier tax returns and those that do not would be on more of an equal footing with the government refunding them part of thier premium expense.
Obviously not.
The question, since your reading comprehension seems to be impaired, was about romney's plan.
As a physician, I have a problem with people dying of, and suffering morbidity from, treatable diseases because they cannot afford care. This does not happen in other first world countries. I do not think it's okay that it happens here.
Conservatives think it's just fine. This is one of the many reasons I am not a conservative.
Mitch McConnel proposed a healthcare plan that included private pay government funded option in 1993 yet it was shot down by democrats.
Government sponsored plan as in the government acting the way an employer does in paying half the premium, for those making less than $100k per year and thier employer does not offer it. Or paying all of it for those below the poverty level.
The republicans resisted it because they thought the mandate unfair without the government option, and so did Obama in the 2008 democratic primaries. He sold out to the lobbyist he put on the committeee to create Obamacare.
The democratic senator Bauchas even had the 5 liberals that asked about it in the press conference announcing Obamacare arrested.
Check out : PBS.org frontline 'Obama's Deal'
It gives the history of Obamacare from the beginning.
This video shows Obama debating himself on his views of the mandate before and after the primaries.
1. Popular kids on parents policies to age 26
2. Insurers can't refuse based on pre-existing conditions.
However, these two items under Obamacare are paid for by the increased customer base that the mandate brings in. If you remove the mandate (as the GOP want to) how will the insurance companies fund items 1 & 2? That's right. Your premiums will skyrocket.
Maybe Romney will actually listen to what the libs have to say, but it won't be a one way cram down like the turd on the table now.
