• Republican Health Coverage Proposals

    Republican Health Coverage Proposals Would Increase Number of
    Uninsured, Raise People's Costs

    The Medicaid and marketplace proposals from the Heritage Foundation's
    Project 2025[1] blueprint, the Republican Study Committee's (RSC)
    fiscal year 2025 budget,[2] and the Republican House Budget
    Committee's (HBC) fiscal year 2025 budget resolution[3] would
    undermine Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage protections, make health
    coverage more costly and less comprehensive, shift more costs to
    states, and increase the number of uninsured people in the U.S. These
    proposals would result in a future in which millions more people go
    without coverage, pay higher premiums if they have pre-existing
    conditions, or end up with skimpy health plans that don't cover
    benefits they need.[4]

    Well, the American people chose this, so I hope they enjoy the results
    of their choice. The Democrats had proposed something different, and
    the people said no.

    Pretty simple, really.

    I believe the female voters chose this...apparently the Edith Bunkers

    Excellent! This is about choice. If you are in excellent health, why
    should you need to be forced by the state into a socialist and inept
    system?

    Likewise, if you are a crafty nigra living on the streets of S.F., why shouldn't you be allowed to care for yourself with crafty mutualistic
    organic systems, instead of having the state kill you in its naughty
    health machine?

    Another win for Trump!

    About Christophobia or Christianophobia...just shows Republicans are
    not Christians.

    Actually, the private sector is feasting upon those on Medicare who
    buy Medicare Advantage policies. Take away Medicare, and the private
    sector and hospitals/doctors' infrastructures will suffer economically
    greatly.

    Medicare is the worst combination of public and private. Remove the public part, and the private will once again focus to serve customers.

    Why would any consumer want this?


    Former Labour MP Ann Taylor later said of privatising the water
    industry: "The message is always the same - maximise the cost to the
    consumer to ensure maximum return to the investor. We should not be
    surprised at that. After all, that is what private investors expect of
    their companies."

    London's water supply was privatized by Margaret Thatcher; here's a
    snapshot of that privatization.
    ================

    Why is Thames Water in so much trouble?

    Thames Water has said its bills need to rise by 59% between 2025 and
    2030 or else the business will not be able to recover from its
    financial crisis.

    And one single example proves what...? ;) Also, we do not know how much
    worse it could be if it was public. I suspect, if it would be public,
    London would now be poisoned. Wiped out.
