IF Obamacare is repealed without an immediate replacement that will go in at the same instant that Obamacare is repealed, the good features will be PERMANENTLY lost. This includes the pre-existing conditions! The Part D donut hole will come back!
Republicans may talk but we need to see action. Talk with Webster when he has his meeting!! Tell him to get off his butt and represent us in The Villages.

Go to only medicare, VA, government gets out of all other insurance programs. Insurance companies sell health insurance for cost plus a reasonable profit. Like a utility. The more you use it...the higher your premiums.
It's the only way. Otherwise the country will just keep getting deeper and deeper into debt. Every $1 million in medical expenses for one person. is 80 years of paying $1,000 a month.
Insurance will get real expensive and there will be death panels...there will have to be...for the old and the young. No more spending $ millions on a 90 y/o to get a few months. No more spending $ millions "saving" a VERY early term preemie who will have medical condition their whole life. It's not economically viable.
The REAL problem is...growth has stalled. We had "unlimited" growth, unlimited cheap labor, unlimited resources...growing productive populations. It led to boom times.
That is gone. Labor is hitting a world minimum wage as everyplace has already been "outsourced" to. Resources are getting scarcer. Arable land scarcer. The populations of poor is rising almost exponentially. While the populations of the white western countries plummets.
There are bigger problems than Obamacare going away...much bigger problems...only they don't talk about those problems.
