Nah. Come '18 and '20 I expect them to stay in line and vote Trump/GOP
Sticking it to liberals is more important than their own health
Oh no doubt...they refuse to allow logic and common sense....and at its core I don't have any problem with the basic principle of conservatvism....low taxes, pro growth, right to bear arms...it's the religious zealot, no insurance, invade every country, Murica, cranky Archie Bunker shyt I can't get with.
And I like parts of liberalism...universal health care...no need for guns in fukking kindergarten classes and reasonable environmental protections....But shyt...I hate their side of I should be cool with men in restrooms for women, tree hugging, don't make fat jokes cause it may offend, every rich person is evil attitude. Whatever fukkin happened to a middle fukkkin ground?!?
This is how it should work...they should open up the federal health benefits to every uninsured American and Medicaid for the people who can't afford it. Medicaid could still be ran by private companies but just cost people like $5-$50 a month depending on income...household, etc. And free for disabled or similar. Insurance companies in your state would be able to participate to cover you locally. Give people per state or region a timeframe to sign up.
People who opt out would have to sign a waiver to agree to forfeit insurance and any assistance for a year and it would explicitly state you will lose all assets...401k house car etc and they be taken to pay for your care. We won't fine your ass but don't ask for fukkin help either. And if you have no assets we will take your spouse shyt, alimony, kids college fund what the fukk ever.....It'll satisfy the liberals so everyone has a chance to get in and conservatives who want it to stay in private companies.
You would have companies begging to join. And yes you could buy from another state but every policy must cover the same services...and have a contract with your hospitals, clinics etc. Shyt like comsetic, or sex change shyt or abortion can't be covered. Dental and eye vision would be available too. You could compare all your medications on the site to pick the best insurer and it spits out a price. You could either pay up front or monthly...up front cheaper but subsidized regardless. Make sign up time during tax refund season to make this work.
See how many would opt out....nobody would or only the dummies. Keep the age 26 rule, pre existing condition etc. Hospitals and clinics would have to post prices like fukkin Wal-Mart. Your insurance card should be able to be swiped at any place and they should be able to tell you ON THE SPOT your costs prior to a procedure...I understand other shyt like ER or major surgery but a CT scan or MRI should be easy.
These free market people keep fukkin forgetting the free market works when they buyer and seller openly know the price of the service prior to being rendered....these Paul Ryan types keep stressing shyt but forget that medical NEVER disclose prices first.
But this health care is a no brainer...these dummies are voting for their demise. It is literally comedy these people hate the principle of socialism but love its daily parts of their lives. Now that they can get kicked off it's all hell to pay. Fukk em.
