They claim that the insurance companies needed several years to implement the Obamacare rollout, they will likewise need several years - Strongbad Dec 1, 11:02 22
- hmm. Just read something interesting. The Ins companies have no incentive to stick with the exchanges once the repeal happens. The GOP may not have - decline Dec 1, 11:30 3
  - That will only prove their assertion that the ACA was a failure. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:32 2
    - which won't bother big Insurance one wit -- nm - decline Dec 1, 11:33 1
      - Right. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:33
- real speak: the insurance companies need time to study the new laws and determine how to maximize profits and shaft the account holders -- nm - decline Dec 1, 11:14
- And we should believe them now, because....? -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:06
- Come up with the replacement and bring that along at the same time. Sure you can take years to implement it, but that's not what they're doing. They - pmb Dec 1, 11:06 15
  - They also want to be able to check the box of "repeal obamacare" as quickly as possible - Strongbad Dec 1, 11:12 13
    - Yes, but that's an empty and lame reason. The actual promise was to repeal and replace Obamacare. They are only accomplishing half of that and - pmb Dec 1, 11:20
    - Their mantra this whole time has been "repeal and replace@ not "repeal now, replace later if we get around to it." -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:20 11
      - If you read the article, that's not what they're saying - Strongbad Dec 1, 11:22 8
        
        But not a bad enough idea to have the replacement ready and in effect when they vote to repeal. It's not like they haven't had 6+ years already to - pmb Dec 1, 11:25 4
        
        Yes, they have come up with a meaningful proposal that was introduced multiple times -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 1, 11:27 3
        
        Stupid facts... -- nm - Ender Dec 1, 12:16
        
        So why don't they propose that in conjunction with the repeal? I'm willing to listen, but this is playing games. -- nm - pmb Dec 1, 12:03

        Just believe conservatives when they want to take things away from the blacks and the browns - con_carne Dec 1, 11:29
        
        *shrug* -- nm - Strongbad Dec 1, 11:24
