A well-said defense of Obamacare

[All Along The Watchtower]

"With regards to my health care plan, let me describe what is the ultimate conservative approach. In this country, you have today about 47 million people that don’t have health insurance. We went out and tried to find out why they don’t. We found out that about half of them could afford to buy insurance if it were reasonably priced. They could afford to buy it, but they weren’t buying it. it? If we get sick, we can go to the hospital and get care for free.“ And we said: what? If somebody could afford insurance, they should either buy the insurance or pay their own way. They don’t have to buy insurance if they don’t want to, but pay their own way. But they shouldn’t be allowed to just show up at the hospital and say, somebody else should pay for me. So we said: No more free riders. It was like bringing “workfare” to welfare. We said: If you can afford insurance, then either have the insurance or get a health savings account. Pay your own way, but no more free ride. That was what the mandate did."

Solid stuff. This guy should be an adviser to Obama's campaign.

Lots of young people have mental health issues, sometimes needing hospitalization. Often they just benefit from having medical supervision and regular prescriptions... and yes the cost of the prescription alone is probably less than the cost of insurance... but there's a mental block associated with spending that higher amount with no medical supervision vs. having a doctor prescribe it and having it be much less expensive as part of overall care.

Dental work is not something that springs up at age 40, either.

Well tough luck. We were all young once and we made due. The free market is what makes everyone so successful. If these young people have problems, they should seek religious, not secular treatment.

 There is no plausible defense of Osamacare. It's a Fascist attack on the freedoms of everyday hard-working Americans engineered by a Kenyan socialist who is trying to destroy this country. It is every American's responsibility to fight back against this dung concoction of Beast Obama.

In the words of Mitt Romney:

"Who let the trolls out? Who, who, who, who?"
