    That's impossible - it was racism that caused people to say this was a bad idea! Racism and wanting old people to die in the streets.

    This is a good thing since everybody knows the inability to finance LTC obviates the need for it.

    The next few months will be crucial for the Affordable Care Act. If they can enforce it properly, it'll be a huge success. [​IMG]

    IF is a small word, with big meaning.

    I see a similar problem with getting health/young people to buy health insurance. Especially if the penalty is only $750-$1000. If they don't buy in, the whole thing crashes.

    Not to mention, all those waivers are going to be due again next year.

    The whole thing is smoke and mirrors. You guys that keep supporting this are making yourselves look foolish.

    This particular Act was not only supposed to pay for itself but in the original numbers it was counted on for $72 B in defecit REDUCTION in the overall numbers. 30% of the total savings from Healthcare reform was tied to a program that the admin nows admits "Despite our best analytical efforts, I do not see a viable path forward for CLASS implementation at this time".

    Honestly, how can any of you make even a remotely reasonable argument for this healthcare fiasco. Just a year or so ago they projected $72B in savings from a program they now say isn't even viable. They missed it by HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars. Incredible. 30% of the expected savings of the ENTIRE reform (not just this Act- the whole ******* bill) are now not viable.

    Will someone explain to me where Obama has the authority to simply DROP large portions of a bill that was passed by Congress?

    And as was said above, this ridiculous long term care that they can't afford was supposedly supposed to CUT THE DEFICIT.

    People need to go to jail for this, starting with Obama himself.

    so basically once again we discover that taking money from one, funnelling it through the government to eat up 70 cents on the dollar in G&A, and then pushing the remaining 30 cents back into the economy can never, ever be a viable solution. In short, once again we discover socialism is a massive failure even if it is created by "the smartest community organizer to ever community organize". FTMFL.
