I take it you seldom travel internationally.It must be difficult to understand. Enforce the laws of the United States and the problem takes care of itself. We have safety nets for the poor already in place, without the illegals breaking our laws, the rest of America could afford health care. Now if you are asking for a solution to solve the problem of Americans being able to afford health care, AND, for us to provide free health care for all Mexicans, then I agree, no repub, dem or anybody else has a clue how to do that.
I, or members of my family, have reviewed free health care in Great Britain, Canada, and Italy. We received almost free health care in France (they hospital collected from our group carrier, but nothing directly from us). So you're wrong. Our citizens receive free care elsewhere.
Likewise, the ACA changes nothing about our health care policies toward undocumented workers. They can't buy health insurance through the exchanges even if they pay full price (which is asinine). A weak attempt to deflect.
So the Republican answer is still, "Don't get sick" (and especially don't be born in Mexico)! Originally Posted by TexTushHog

You make my point, can't expect one law to succeed when you have a prez that chooses to ignore other laws that directly sabotage his signature law. It's even worse and compounded, when you have citizens and illegals, ignoring both.
My insurance for my employees costs around $900/Mo. There is no way to make anything approaching even half of that affordable for lower level hourly employees without substantial direct subsidies. And those are most of the un and under-insureds right there. Originally Posted by TexTushHogSo you qualify then for the Small Business Tax Credit ... that's a nice pop off the top.

So you qualify then for the Small Business Tax Credit ... that's a nice pop off the top.Oh, you're just pissed because he's not using Obamacare as an excuse to throw his employees off his employer sponsored health care plan.
Oh, wait, you probably won't claim it to make sure you do your part of making it work!!!!

If you were trolling Austin before I was born as you claim than you've got to be one of the oldest fairies alive... Right up there with Tinker Bell and the Tooth Fairy.
If that's true, then how fucking dare you comment on anything regarding health care in America. You've been sucking on then.government teat for decades, by your own admission.
a hearty STFU IS IN ORDER. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Medicare part A is required at age 65, since other insurance plans work with it, unless of course you want to get hit with a penalty for late enrollment.

Not exactly true. Medicare part A is required at age 65, since other insurance plans work with it, unless of course you want to get hit with a penalty for late enrollment. Medicare part B is voluntary only if you are still working and have private or group insurance, otherwise it is also mandatory. Parts C and D are voluntary.Not exactly true. Medicare part A is not required at 65, nor are they eligible (free) for anyone who has not held, or their spouse has not held a job for at least 10 years (40 quarters) in a Medicare-covered job. Most wealthy people, that never have to work are not auto enrolled, or required to enroll in Medicare. Basically, if you don't pay in, you don't get free shit, but, you may be eligible to pay for it, but not required to pay for it if you don't want it. Pretty sure the welfare lifers are in the same boat, but I wouldn't state that as a fact.

Omommycare will cost millions of people their homes. Good news is the Bankers are happy...yea... Originally Posted by IIFFOFRDB
