Chief Architect of Obamacare and MIT professor Gruber is an elitist a#@hole. Enjoy the show! ( Media coverage is almost non existent on the lie carefully designed to fool stupid Americans...why do you suppose that is?)

Originally posted by joe shmoWhat worrying propositions. Obviously only a very stupid American would fall for a scheme to make the costs of health care progressive rather than regressive, or to remove tax breaks from the wealthy which ordinary people do not benefit from. Whether the American voters are stupid or not, of course, it is a Republican dominated Congress and Senate that would be allowing such horrors to pass without scrutiny. It seems they are too stupid to understand tax. Maybe because they cleverly don't pay much if they can help it. But I was a bit unclear of the reasoning for employers to withdraw health benefit on account of the loss of tax breaks for their employees, which I would have thought was not the employers' problem. Is it that employers are taking the opportunity to withdraw benefits from their employees and want to blame Obama? One way or another, #OnlyinAmerica would this weird article appear remotely rational.

Originally posted by joe shmoCrafting a healthcare plan designed to provide millions of people with health insurance that could not afford it is never going to be perfect. I'm sorry you disapprove of this situation, but the old pay or die system was even more imperfect. Tens of millions of people now have health insurance that did not have before, so....maybe American voters are not as stupid as you claim. 😀

Originally posted by bill718"pay or die" is a gross exaggeration. People without insurance get treated, with or without credit. Many don't pay, and after some superficial dunning, their dept is sold to collection agents who rarely collect squat.

The great majority of procedures are overcharged to account for those that they know will never pay, and insurance companies barter with providers to arrive at actual costs which are never made public.
One thing the extra complexity does accomplish is to make it easier for con artists to get more out of the system.

Originally posted by bill718Lots of people face medical bankruptcy anyway. It really isn't so bad. Bankruptcy just forgives your debts subject to some reality checking by the courts.

1) Why should I care, and more specifically... Why should "I" foot the bill?
"maybe American voters are not as stupid as you claim."
2) I didn't make that claim (although on whole its obviously true)...the designer of the bill (Gruber) and the dems. corrupt team of adviser's intentionally wrote it in a "tortured language" to get it through. As presented in the article (and by Gruber himself!) the concept of screwing the American middle class is quite obvious. I somehow doubt the language of the actual bill is anything but clear and succinct (unlike Grubers astounding arrogance that was no doubt carefully crafted during his elitist and liberal indoctrination at Harvard). So yes...surely most of the bill would be completely lost on the general public...by design.

Two words: credit history.
