Not mentioned is that one year from now the nation will be so angry at the Democrats for the disaster called Obamacare rammed down their throats, that not only will the GOP hold the House but they may even take back the Senate.

So you're counting on them failing (or more importantly, them being portrayed as failing, cause the media will never admit they have) as opposed to you guys actually putting forth some candidates people like and want to have in office?

I honestly can't see the right winning another election because they seem so out of touch with so many groups of people. But maybe that's caused from living in the NW, but most people up here think the right people are from another planet on some issues.

The mid-terms will not put more democrats or French Republicans in office.
Tea Party principles will prevail.
People have had it with both parties.

One year from now millions of people will have health insurance that did not have it before. People who had health insurance through their job will see little or no change. My premium for next year went up $1.33 a month. Because those millions now have insurance, the cost to tax payers for providing emergency room care will decrease. Insurance companies will spend more for benefits and less for profit. That is what will happen, not what you think will happen.

That is pretty much the way I see it, because you and I look at the whole picture. We see the surveys that say 78% of Americans are disgusted with Republican policies. Tom and Blue Shoe are incapable of seeing anything which does not fit their worldview.

I heard this all before - before the 2010 mid terms, and the 100 years of democrat rule! :lol::lol::lol:

Dream on boys......no one is reporting accurately what the American people think. And after 1 year or so of nO-Care, the dems will lose the WH and the Senate. Unless they manage to add millions of illegals to the voting roles, which is why Obama is so hot to get to immirgration reform - which, btw, needs no reform.

can you really be that naive ? how in the hell is the cost to taxpayers going to go down? The hospitals are going to be in much worse shape than ever..........

btw, those millions you are counting on can't afford the insurance you have so brazenly limited them to buying. 12k deductibles are laughable.

No matter your beliefs regarding the healthcare plan, this is the one thing that I think a lot of people are missing. These are for profit companies, they're in business to make money. They might be spending more for benefits, but they're not going to do it at the expense of profits. They're going to raise rates to keep their profits.

Looking at this objectively, you can't expect a business to do anything different. If costs go up(i.e. benefits), then revenue will go up(i.e. premiums).

the shutdown won't have any bearing on whether the GOP keeps the house, which it surely will. Not this one anyway, but if they have another one, all bets are off. I don't see very many new tea party districts, but the ones they have are pretty safe. The problem is for long time conservative republicans who too quickly embraced the tea party in 2010. Being associated with the tea party is a big negative for the middle road voter. Every Democrat candidate in 2014 will be looking to connect their GOP opponent to Ted Cruz. He is God's gift to the democratic party.

I agree, though it will make a difference in other ways. The Republican leadership is fed up with the Tea party and intends to clean house. They will do whatever possible to marginalize those already elected and carefully vet future candidates. Over the past two weeks Tea party republicans dug their own graves.

I think it swings the other way. Many in the Repub party realize they can't win the Presidency anymore. The likes of McCain and McConnell are one of the big reasons for that. They're done. Their buddies are in for a surprise also.

Lindsey Graham is toast also. A few more go down and a it becomes a wave. It might take 12 years. But if the Repubs and the Tea Party don't reconcile, it will be cutthroat either way. It really doesn't matter whether a Dem or an establishment Republican is cutting your throat, you're still dead.

I'm not going to get into your bullshit Hcap. I never picked anybody to win the presidency. I picked who I liked........ there's a big difference. I loved Herman Cain too...... did you forget that one? I pick who I like. I also said that Obama would be re-elected. You forgot about that one too.

As things stand now, the Republicans are a polarized party.
Unless they can come together on a common set of principles, how will voters know what exactly they are opting for?
At the moment, the Dems are perceived, rightly or wrongly, as being in the "middle of the road" and are a more attractive alternative to average voters.
Unless the Repubs get their act together, the Dems will dominate for years to come. Besides, people don't usually bite the hand that feeds them, and a lot are feeding at their trough.

It might, but to do so would be going uphill against the status quo. The established party still has the numbers...and the power. I think they got blindsided by the Tea party originally and now realize the mess they're in. Communications among the republican establishment indicates that they want to get a handle on this. They're in a pickle, though. They win state/congressional elections with the Tea party but can't win nationally. They have to be careful how they go about this.

I think Boehner came out of this winner. Maybe not with the electorate at large but among his peers...such as they may be. :rolleyes:

Oh, sure thy pay out a office call or maybe even for a short hospital stay. But let something big happen and a lot people were left high and dry.

The service that doctors and nurses provide is pretty good. The service that the insurance companies provide isn't. Just ask any hospital. Why do you think they make you sign a statement that they will bill your insurance company, but you are responsible for your own medical bills. Something a lot of doctors and hospitals stop doing once you get Medicare.

Bingo!
nO Care doesn't do anything to FIX the HC part of it.
The whole program was ill conceived and had no adequate definition of the problems. It is not nor was it EVER about health care - it is about, as hcap has stated - all about single payer. Government control. Not at all about HC.
And they they outsource the website to some third rate Canadian company with a history of failure. And it failed here, too. Might explain why Canada got a 7 on quality of care on one of hcap's charts.

No idea who those groups given as the source are, but of course their purpose is to twist the numbers in order to paint the USA in as bad a light as possible.

If you are going to unfairly criticize by colorful charts at least read it correctly and stop complaining. :)

Yes it looks like Canada is marginally better than the US, but is approx 1/2 the cost.

Here is the associated commie rag the chart came from.

http://www.commonwealthfund.org/Publications/Fund-Reports/2010/Jun/Mirror-Mirror-Update.aspx?page=all


Summary and Implications

The U.S. ranks last of seven nations overall. Findings in this report confirm many of those in the earlier three editions of Mirror, Mirror. As in the earlier editions, the U.S. ranks last on indicators of patient safety, efficiency, and equity. Australia and the U.K. continue to demonstrate superior performance. The Netherlands, which was included for the first time in this edition, ranked first overall. In the subcategories, the U.S. ranks first on preventive care, and is strong on waiting times for specialist care and nonemergency surgical care, but weak on access to needed services and ability to obtain prompt attention from primary care physicians.

I agree, though it will make a difference in other ways. The Republican leadership is fed up with the Tea party and intends to clean house. They will do whatever possible to marginalize those already elected and carefully vet future candidates. Over the past two weeks Tea party republicans dug their own graves.
And, just a question as I agree there will be some cleaning. We just believe different parts will get cleaned!

Not the same market.
Comparing the two is foolish, but you know that.
Although without ACA, we COULD have made great stride in cuttingcosts.
But that is not what ACA is all about.
And you know that too.

Well we can indeed compare many western mixed economies. Because you claim we can't without you providing a shred of proof, once again is nonsense.

Btw, your last so-called study posted was a POS.
Try again.

Please, for your own sake, memorize the number of the suicide prevention line. Write it down and keep a copy by each phone. Program it into your cell phone on speed dial. On the first Tuesday of November 2014, lock up all sharp objects, poisons and neckties. I don't want anything to happen to you when your above post turns out to be completely wrong.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha

I hope you followed your very own advise. :lol:

Even though you've been a creep for most of the time you've been with us, we still don't want any harm to go your way -- even if it's by your own hand.

Tucker, I know you beat me to the punch, so thanks for bringing up mostpost's most 'concerned' appeal to our friend Tom. I just wanted to do a re-do just in case mostpost missed it yesterday.
