Republicans are gratuitously inane. Oh, and the judge who "repealed" the requirement to buy insurance.. is an exec on the BoD of a health care insurance company.
"Obamacare" is a block copy of Romneycare, the universal (>96%) coverage in Massachusetts. Obamacare is also a direct copy of the Republican counter-proposal to Hilarycare in 1993, as developed by The Heritage Foundation.
Obamacare prevents health care insurance executives from becoming nonsensically wealthy, by forcing them to (gasp) cover every person. Additionally, Obamacare only deals with the insurance plans.. it does NOTHING with hospitals and the transmission of care to the patient.
*National plans are NOT good.. because national regulators are coopted by Wall Street (whereas state ones are not) and the lack of regulators means that insurance companies take your premium, don't pay out when you need that coverage, and don't pay a penalty.
*Health care costs will rise more without the restrictions mandating premium increase percentages. Don't believe the fantasy-land assertion from Fox that costs will somehow magically fall without any action on their part to accomplish that.
Why try to repeal this? Because Republicans quite literally have zero ideas other than "obama bad." Also, if anyone actually believes any Republican is serious about decreasing deficits.. you've been played for a fool. Not surprisingly, under 2% of the total federal budget is even under consideration for being cut in the upcoming Congress. If you decrease taxes.. you are increasing the deficit. If you increase spending.. you are increasing the deficit. Luckily, it's now 100% in the Republican lap, so let's see how this plays out.
