    No response to #1110, huh?



    • ObamaCare cuts $716 billion of waste from Medicare and reimbursements to private Medicare Advantage plans and reinvests it into Obama's health care reform. In other words $716 billion is saved and then $716 billion is reinvested back into ObamaCare and Medicare. Doctors and hospitals almost universally agree on this reform.

    • 19 million Americans making under 400% of the Federal Poverty Level are estimated to receive tax credits to help pay for the cost of health insurance premiums.

    • ObamaCare reduces costs of premiums to millions of families and small businesses and provides billions dollars in tax relief.

    • The healthcare industry, specifically doctors, will be rewarded for quality over quantity.

    ^Scintillating rebuttal there, Sparky. You sure are making the case for your side. :yes:


    • The Affordable Health Care Act doesn't just focus on insurance, it also reforms the parts of the healthcare system that aren't working, or are costing the tax payer money. For example, by focusing on preventive measures instead of just treatment, ObamaCare will save tens of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives.

    • The ObamaCare fact is the average American will save money under ObamaCare. In fact, many Americans are already paying less for health care services.

    • ObamaCare cuts the national deficit by over two hundred billion dollars during its first 10 years.

    Seems like a pretty powerful point to me. The whole thing was served up on a bed of lies. Nothing good has to be sold that way.

    Yes, Nobody. You care enough to post nonsense. Now come back when you've got an actual counterargument.

    That may be the best version of the pyramid-scheme style pitch for this thing I've seen yet. Put me down for eleventeen of them.

    That's pretty rich, in light of this thorough and well-reasoned response from you just a few posts upthread:

    I take the prolonged silence to mean you're incapable of responding to it.

    Here's how Obamacare really works.

    People who work hard get fucked in the ass by the gangster government. And if you resist, you get beat and fucked harder.

    According to your chart, Obamacare will mean... nothing. Well, except for lost jobs, lost work hours, and less take home pay from what hours remain.

    Meanwhile, skipping ahead to page 150....

    Yep, that's how it's really going to end.

    Internet is serious business.

    First, I don't think it'll reach page 150, because the drama queens will have found a new Benghazi to shriek about, and the enrollment will just keep going. And the country won't fall apart. And the world won't end. And eventually they'll do what they did with Iraq. "Nope, nope, nope, not us. We never supported that war, and we were never agin Obamacare neither, nope, nope, nope. We're the Right; we're always right!"

    Eventually they'll fold it into all the other things they bitch about and the edges will blur.

    And Castle will change his name a few more times and his avatar a few dozen more times and eventually burn out the way they always do.

    And the U.S. will eventually join the rest of the industrialized world in recognizing that a healthy citizenry is a more productive citizenry and, if nothing else, the Koch brothers won't catch MRSA when a waiter spits in their soup...
