LIAR, LIAR HEALTH CARE INSURANCE COMPANIES ON FIRE

Sen. John Thune, Republican from South Dakota, was a guest on +Morning Joe. He, along with +Nicole Wallace, were attacking everything Democratic. They could not hide there their glee over the failed +Obamacare rollout. They added to it the charge that President Obama lied repeatedly and intentionally when he said people could keep their health plans if they liked the plan. In their minds, it was proof that Obamacare is failed policy. Sen. Thune used the standard and an obvious Republican lie by saying Congress was wasting time on the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) when they should be working on the economy, jobs, and workable alternative plans. As was pointed out, rather forcefully in yesterdays oversight committee hearings, the Republicans voted 44 times to repeal Obamacare and not once did they offer an alternative plan—not one single idea to solve the crisis in back breaking costs of healthcare in the United States.  The Republican controlled House of Representatives did not pass or even offer one jobs bill—not one single idea.  In addition, they have failed to offer a bill to stimulate the economy—none, not even one. The only laws they passed had to do with welfare or tax cuts, which are things that are devastating to the economy. These facts make Thune a liar and Nicole Wallace a sycophant. The lies do not surprise me because I remember how Thune campaigned against +Tom Daschle; the people elected him on a lie told by George W, Bush. It wasn’t as bad as his follow Republican, +Saxby Chambliss campaign lies but it was bad.

What their lying covered up was that the (ACA) exposed a huge fraud healthcare insurance companies were perpetuating on the America people. It is my hope that ACA broke a huge health care insurance bubble. Healthcare insurance companies were selling and the people bought subpar insurance policies thinking they had healthcare coverage at a low cost when all they were paying for was band aide and aspirin overage. Had the ACA endorsed what they were doing, the government would have been a party to their deceit. It is reminiscent of the mortgage crisis during which mortgage companies sold government guaranteed loans to people who could not afford it. However, this time the ACA exposed the bubble before it crashed the entire U.S. economy, although many individuals and families had already crashed and burned in a sea of bankruptcy.  

The new law said that people had to have adequate healthcare insurance; if what they were paying for was junk insurance, the law cancelled their insurance, which the people could replace with a good policy and an affordable price, possible with a government subsidy, through the open insurance exchange or market. The entire Republican party are trying to destroy the ACA for one reason, it is good for the American people and President Obama will rightfully get the credit for bringing the American people out of the dark ages in which we find ourselves in terms of health care. We, as the richest nation in the world, developed the best health care system ever known but only Saudi princesses, Iraqi Shahs, or people with elevators for their Cadillac cars could afford it; the working people like us could not afford it, that is until the ACA.
