Doctor Foxx 08/29/17 10:23:39 PM #44 | Smarkil posted... The ACA was far better for those insurance companies than repealing it lol. Imagine having millions of people suddenly being forced to buy your product. Why would they not want that? On top of that, the government just gives them a fuck ton of money because they're making up the difference. Because healthy people will simply not buy insurance, leaving the balance skewed to have a higher proportion of unhealthy people insured. Those people will be hit with even higher premiums, forcing more people to reconsider insurance--if they can even continue to afford it. Eventually that gets really bad for insurance companies, and for those looking for insurance. Without any subsidies this could be devastating https://www.wired.com/2017/01/not-even-insurance-companies-want-obamacare-repealed/ What will happen depends on what Congress repeals, and what the replacement plan looks like. "If they remove the subsidies and lower the individual mandate tax penalty to zero, it could lead the individual market to unravel," Dow says. Why? It could lead to high rates of what experts call adverse selection, which basically amounts to having more sick people in your pool than healthy ones. "When the pool is less healthy, the premium is higher," says Paul Ginsburg, a health economist at USC's Sol Price School of Public Policy and Brookings. Under Obamacare, the insurance mandate and subsidized lower premiums kept healthy people on the wagon. If Obamacare's replacement doesn't deal with the adverse selection problem, insurers will have to raise their premiums to cover the risk posed by having a higher proportion of sicker, costlier people. "Healthy people will drop out," Ginsburg says. "This is going to do an amazing amount of collateral damage." --- Never write off the Doctor! |

Doctor Foxx 08/29/17 8:58:20 PM #38 | Krazy_Kirby posted... ^ Uh but it's not paying for them it's just no longer allowing companies to deny insurance to people with pre-existing conditions. Trump wants to remove that protection. That's going to work out great for my friends with things like MS, lupus, and cancer. Most other nations that are developed offer single payer healthcare. The US should. Short of doing that, the ACA at least allowed millions of people to get on insurance plans. Repealing that is just working for insurance companies and disregarding needs of the public. --- Never write off the Doctor! |

Doctor Foxx 08/29/17 6:53:53 PM #78 | New York magazine had a great article/interview with Sater from the beginning of August. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/08/felix-sater-donald-trump-russia-investigation.html Excerpt: Cohen, one of Trump’s personal attorneys, had known Sater since they were teenagers. He met Artemenko and Sater at a hotel on Park Avenue, and they gave him a sealed envelope containing the plan. The New York Times reported that Cohen said he had hand-delivered the envelope to Flynn at the White House. (Cohen later denounced the Times story as “fake news.”) After it was exposed, the peace initiative was scuttled and Trump’s opponents seized on fresh evidence that — preposterous as it might seem — Sater still had enough pull with the president to dabble in diplomacy. “A Big Shoe Just Dropped,” wrote the liberal blogger Josh Marshall, who has continued to enthusiastically delve into Sater’s role in what he calls the “Trump-Russia money channel.” --- Never write off the Doctor! |

Doctor Foxx 08/29/17 2:00:23 PM #27 | PK_Spam posted... What? Yeah it (season 5) had a good finale following a totally bad season And I disagree. This season had the reunion of the Lannisters, reveal of the White Walker, Baelish being called out, the Stark siblings working together, the Targaryen back stories, Theon taking a stand for Yara, Jaime realizing how mad Cersei is, and the attack on the wall... Like if this didn't have enough going on and was too much dialogue I don't know how you tolerated season 1 and 2 The real issue is the poor pacing leading up to this season left so much to be dealt with in very little screen time. This finale sets up the next season well. But only 6 episodes to resolve anything is ridiculously short. --- Never write off the Doctor! |
