Referring to himself in the third person below, Dumb Ron Johnson released this new example of stupidity for all to see:
Johnson to Introduce Act to Allow American’s to Keep Their Health Care: Johnson said today:
“One of the most important promises made by President Obama and Democrat congressional leadership to promote the Affordable Care Act was that Americans who were satisfied with their health plans could keep them. That promise has been broken. More than a million Americans have been notified that the plans they like with the coverage they have chosen have been canceled. Millions more Americans will have the plans of their choice canceled in months to come.”
Johnson is starting with a false premise: Obama didn't break
his promise. Insurance companies decided to drop their coverage. BIG
DIFFERENCE. Of course, business gets a pass on every immoral and ethically
bankrupt choice they make, because they can, and have never been held
accountable their actions.
Missed by Dumb Ron Johnson: Those same insurers are offering to help
their customers move into the exchanges, their new profit center, where people
will get more coverage with the same doctors and get a subsidy to help pay for the
premiums. What a deal.
Johnson continues with the false premise, by essentially
telling insurers to keep their costly older plans, plans that are still a part
of the old failed system we’re trying to reform. Is this guy an idiot or what?
"Americans want the freedom to choose their own plans and want to be in control of their own health care. The ‘If You Like Your Health Plan, You Can Keep It Act’ will amend the law to make Obamacare live up to the promises of the politicians who sold the plan to the American public. I will … garner support from fellow Senators of both parties who truly want to make sure President Obama honors his promise that every American has the freedom to keep his or her own health care plan."
Again, insurers are the ones who've made the decision to
move their coverage for none group rates into the exchanges. We’re also talking about the costly individual
market, where people or their families don’t have the luxury of buying
insurance at a lower group rate. Insurers are moving into the marketplace that
is more or less a “group” rate, along with competing with other insurers.
Here's Salon's expose of the Fox News' coverage, debunking it and proving that people would rather pay 3 times as much than to allow the "government" or Obama to offer them a better deal. All In with Chris Hayes:
Geez, Who do you think wrote the ACA? It wasn't Obama or the politicians.
ReplyDeleteI hope you realize that if you deposit "money" into a bank account, it now belongs to the bank. That was part of Dodd frank.
Stop seeing everything in terms of left/right. Or black/white. The world is gray!
Turn off the TV and pick up a book. Your ignorance is mind boggling.
I don't believe anything I wrote in my analysis strayed from the facts, having nothing to do with politics.
ReplyDeleteYes I will call out righties for not knowing their stuff. Oh, that's right, I shouldn't.
Nice try with the "ignorance" thing, but it's an old conservative trick that just doesn't work anymore. Try adding to the conversation sometime.
I don't know what "money" in the bank relates too, but that also sounds loony.
