Wasn’t This the Reason for ObamaCare?
The White House is threatening to veto a Republican bill that would shore up one part of President Barack Obama’s health care law by siphoning funds from another part. The House bill would add billions to a temporary program to help uninsured people with pre-existing medical problems. Obama’s health care law requires companies to cover those people, but that provision doesn’t kick in until Jan. 1. The cash-strapped program has stopped taking new applicants to ensure it doesn’t run out of money. (The Associated Press/Washington Post)
Is the president abandoning the whole reason for health reform?
I’m 25 years old, and I already want to give up. Some days, I feel as if the sheer volume of Washington’s ineptitude will crush me.
Interesting and quite concerning. Not knowing the true motives and details behind it all, if all of this is true, I am quite concerned about the future.
Just seems like almost every day I end up reading more alarming notes about this health care overhaul.
My warning to all Americans: start taking better care of your health because there is no scenario where it will get cheaper given Obamacare.
I share Gabriel’s concerns. It’s uncanny. In a letter to Cornyn I wrote that that I was being “buried under the inadequacies of his representation,” or some such nonsense.
So we have incompliant states and a system which is only able to enroll a fraction of possible applicants. Great. Three guesses about who will actually get coverage.
Obviously, not all Democrats agree with the president: http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Daily-Reports/2013/April/24/harkin-hold-on-tavenner.aspx
