(ThyBlackMan.com) Any new program will have problems and unexpected issues until they are sorted out. So it is with the Affordable Care Act. Notice the Republicans, offered no real solutions to help the uninsured or medically ill but they were quick to tear down the efforts of others. Where was the Republican plan? Why wasn’t it in the forefront? Because they did not have one. It is easy to tear down someone else’s ideas when you have none to be scrutinized.
The Affordable Care Act does have major problems in costs and elsewhere, but that does not mean it is a sham. Notice Trump always says he will repeal and replace it but he offers no solid plan to replace it with. His ideas are just that – ideas, not plans. And there is a difference.
If we throw out everything that has flaws and start over, we will have no government plans at all.
Affordable Care Plan costs are going up, that is true. But take a close look at all the reasons why and you will see more than meets the eye. For example, the more companies that will not cooperate, the more the burden is shifted back into the pot. You may say many companies cannot afford coverage for their employees. But to that I say a well thought out plan for a business has enough cushion in its
profit margin to accommodate some of the unexpected costs. Then raising prices on the products or services a company offers is another way to compensate. Downsizing staff, shorter work days or furlough plans are yet other ways to compensate. Switching part off your staff to part time can help too. We all have to pitch in for something to work. Even requiring a little more work out of employees will give the employer more work for fewer dollars out of pocket.
Do not do away with the Affordable Care Act . It has problems, that is true. But when your transmission goes out on your otherwise reliable car, only a fool gets rid of the entire car. You fix the problems, not throwing out the whole thing. If the White House needed renovation, would you just tear the whole thing down? If your leg was injured, would you simply commit suicide? Or even cut your leg off and buy a prosthetic limb? Not if you could fix the problem.
If Trump repealed the Affordable Care Act, as soon as he did insurance companies would stop taking people with pre-existing conditions. And a new plan, if he even had one, would take time to filter through. Meanwhile millions of adults and children would go without anything. Millions of adults and children have been helped through this plan but Republicans want to throw it out altogether. That’s dumb. And let’s be honest about this. Republicans wanted to get rid of it even before costs went up. Republicans were more afraid of it working than of it failing. They did not even want it to pass. Why? Because President Obama and the democrats launched it. Grow up Republicans. Everything is not about partisan games. And by the way, no I am not a democrat. i am an honest relist who looks at all sides of an issue with facts and a balanced perspective. What about you?
In closing, here is my update on Hillary and Donald. I don’t trust either of them. Both are corrupt but only one is qualified to be President, understands how things work, can unify the country and has the experience and track record to handle the coming challenges the President must face – Hillary Clinton. this is not a time for a novice to be in office.
This month Donald Trump will be in court for scamming people through Trump University. Next month he will be in court for allegedly raping a 13 year old girl. He is a self-proclaimed sexual predator out of his own mouth. But when women verify what he himself says about his own actions, Donald Trump zombies want to deny it. I also find it strange that people are more concerned about emails with no smoking guns than they are that federal officials had their emails illegally hacked and the information is being used to influence an election. Why isn’t the FBI going after Wikileaks? Ask the tough questions and you will see what is really going on.
