Why they didn't just do Sen Kennedy's plan, a gradual phase in of Medicare based on age alone....oldest to youngest with exceptions for those unable to get an affordable policy (like those pesky pre-existing conditions) or tie that in to a fail whale on ACA? That would have given some serious pause to all the bullshit surrounding this. It would have motivated the RW to either make their plan work OR face single payer.Employment based insurance does nothing for those out of work, and traps those who otherwise could be more productive in other ways (such as starting a business) . It's a horrible trap for millions, based on a fluke from another generation, another time where the situation no longer applies. It's not 1945 anymore. The RW really needs to comprehend that their fantasy of the "good old days" is unworkable now, and those days weren't all that good anyway. |
