Fully repealing Obamacare will cost $350 billion - 3 views

    A full repeal of Obamacare would cost $350 billion over the next decade, according to a new analysis from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This makes its wholesale dismantling much more complicated. Obamacare was carefully crafted in 2010 so that it didn't add to the federal deficit -- in fact, it boosted revenues slightly.

    Of course this would cost so much because the money is in people's hands and getting it back, well that is hard. And with trumps new ideas this will cause some commotion with people. And with this it would cause an even bigger problem because he may be forgetting that we are still in debt.

    Would it cause more problems if we did repeal Obamacare instead of not repealing it?
  • savannah131999 on 04 Jan 17
     
    I personally don't think that it's worth all the loss of money, I think it's good to provide healthcare to those that can't afford to pay for it, and our country that's a large majority of our people. Although we should also look at whether or not it's costing more to keep it or to repeal it.
  • russellboi on 18 Jan 17
     
    This seems like a good example of how Obamacare is viewed as a lot worse that it really is, how it supposedly is, "A waste of money," and, "Costing us more that it's worth." But there was actually some economic and political genius that went into forming the system, and it would be a poor decision to repeal it.
  • daulton wilcoxen on 18 Jan 17
     
    If we were to repeal Obama Care, it would hurt the country indefinitely, because of all the people who are on it, and the sheer cost of money would ruin the country, were already trillions of dollars in debt, so another $350 billion would not be doing any good. Now taking small actions to take some of it away would be a more suitable approach.
  • kim bagshaw on 18 Jan 17
     
    The problem with Obamacare is that it really hurts the hospitals, they have to manage money differently, meaning they have to cut peoples jobs and different programs because they can't afford to have it anymore. Which in the end will hurt the patients more because how are they supposed to get help if theirs not enough people working there to help them. I don't believe that cutting the whole thing is right, however i think that that Obamacare does need to have some changes.

    If we took away Obama care it would hurt lots of people because they aren't going to have the help they need.

    i think repealing it would be a terrible mistake because you just cant cut 20 million people out of insurnce.

    Obamacare has been sometimes helpful but it has also crashed our country.

    What exactly did it do to "crash" our country, and how did it do so?
  • jwells549 on 04 Jan 17
     
    I agree with Landon, in many ways, Obamacare has crashed our country, but it is always to look at the solutions to our problems, our options, and most importantly, look optimistically at the ways Obamacare has helped us. I think a big one is children can now stay on their parents' insurance until age 26. It has helped 5.7 million young adults over the past five years!

    "Other executive actions, including those providing new safeguards for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans and curbing greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change, could also come under fire" this in addition to obamacare being repealed does not make much sense to me. Along with the anti abortion deal. It seems like this is less of a "whats best for america" situation and more of a " erase obama and his administration" kind of deal. not a fan

    Obamacare has done nothing for us. Prices are through the roof. its not affordable at all. You cant keep your health insurance company. They tell you who you have. Drugs are more expensive. We need a full repeal and replace!

    Controversy around Obamacare continues as Cardinal Timothy Dolan stated the Catholic Church remains opposed to Obamacare. A big reason behind this opposition can include the morality of no-cost birth control as this article talks about. On a side note, it appears that Hobby Lobby shares similar views with Dolan.

    I don't believe they've really fixed it, but if they don't get it set up soon, people will have to start paying large fines for the care that they may or may not need at the fault of the government.

Contractors who helped develop the embattled HealthCare.gov website blame each other and the government, but not themselves, in testimony prepared for the first congressional hearing on the problems engulfing the online enrollment system.

    The bigger fear for Democrats is that public sentiment will side with Republicans who have warned for four years that Obamacare amounted to big government run amok, resulting in an unmanageable new bureaucracy.
  • ladasia on 11 Nov 13
     
    Well, I hoped things work out in a way that we are actually working together to make the country better for the people and the economy. Obama said in his election speech that we were no longer the red and blue states but the United states of America. I really don't see that happening. A kingdom divided only destroys itself.

    "When Iowa reporters asked Sen. Chuck Grassley on Wednesday about the attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare, his answer was remarkable and revealing. "You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn't be considered," the Iowa Republican said. "But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That's pretty much as much of a reason as the substance of the bill.""

Hobby Lobby: The First Martyr Under Obamacare? - 0 views

    First point: I fail to see how denying a single cell the chance to go through mitosis is abortion. It's no more aware than bacteria. Also, the author is referencing the morning-after pill. For some reason there's a lot of confusion about how the morning after pill actually works. It prevents the egg from joining the sperm, or depending on where the woman is in her cycle, prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs. Contrary to what pro-life proponents apparently believe, conception does not happen immediately after having sex. If using the morning-after pill is abortion, we may as well call abstinence abortion. Secondly, "the mandate requires private citizens who are also employers to purchase private goods (health insurance services) with private money from non-government companies." This is clearly written by a sensationalist. What it really means is that a company has to use its own money to provide healthcare. (And everyone seems to be forgetting that employees don't just receive healthcare plans for free). There is a difference between being a private citizen and being an employer. Owning a public company and employing people is about as far from private as you can get. "Requiring private citizens to pay for abortifacients is more akin to requiring the Amish to use their own money to purchase weapons from a private gun dealer or be forced into bankruptcy. Or kind of like forcing anti-pornography legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon to buy pornography for her law students." This is simply ludicrous and shows that the author clearly doesn't understand what a business is. It's a corporation, it employees people, it isn't a private citizen. I will admit that if Hobby Lobby employed only people who were in complete agreement with the beliefs of the owners I would support them in their case. However, the reality is that many of Hobby Lobby's employees don't share the exact same beliefs as the owner. And it would in fact be illegal for Hobby Lobby to choose their employ
  • Mallory Huggins on 09 Jan 13
     
    ees because of their beliefs. And the last time I checked, in America we don't make people follow certain religions or beliefs. In fact, the law isn't supposed to be based in religion. I know it sounds shocking, but it actually isn't okay to force a religion on people, or to make everyone live in accordance with one belief system, which is exactly what Hobby Lobby, and everyone who argues against this provision in the new health care law, is trying to do. Lastly, the author says repeatedly that this law essentially discriminates against Christians, which is a complete lie. Christians is a broad term. There are Christians who believe in all kinds of birth control and then there are those who think all birth control should be outlawed. There are even Christians who get abortions. So, and this is a message to anyone who writes articles of this kind, stop saying just saying Christians. Tell the truth and call yourself a Fundamentalist. Saying Christians make it seem like the majority of people who believe in Jesus Christ agree with you, and they don't. You're a minority, and you need to accept that. And maybe read a little about how our government works. It's a majority rules system.
