What's in Obamacare?

[bindelh]

Some one that had exhausted their lifetime maximum benefit due to catastrophic illness can now re-enroll in their previous plan and continue with the treatment of their illness.

Wow! Is that something that should be 'repealed'?

Why is it being called Obamacare in the first place when it was actually two Health Care Reform bills that were combined together to become the 2010 Health Care Reform Bill.

Two Health Care Bills Passed in March 2010:

The Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act and Health Care & Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.

Immediately after the United States government passed the health care bill in March 2010, the American public was eager to learn the details. Few have even taken the time to do so and have relied on the Media Hacks and Blipvert experts to distort and demonized this monumental change in the direction health care has taken after at least 50 years of failed legislation efforts. But while news of the passage was well known, it wasn’t exactly clear where everyone could find the actual health care reform bill text.

I found this to be an informative read.

1. It's Obamacare as long as they can demonize it and make it unpopular

and the media are co-opting the term.

The moment it starts kicking in and people are actually going to benefit from it, they'll call it the bipartisan HCR bill, and the Repubes will tout it as being a Repube bill and finally tell their pathetic sheeple they put 200 items into it.

Sit back and watch!

2. Fox said Sunday, and i quote....

"There's things in Obamacare like allowing those under 26 to stay on their parents insurance. It's going to be hard for the GOP to convince the public that should be repealed."

The newsmodel said that (cant remember her name) ... and the two guys quickly changed the subject.

It was fun. :)

3. The term "ObamaCare" has been used to smear healthcare reform, largely unchallenged by Democrats.

It has been used so often by Republicans and Teahadists and the media that it has become an accepted term by many Americans. Just another example of how Democrats have allowed Republicans to define the terms and get away with it.

We can only hope that one day the term "ObamaCare" which is meant as a slur and insult will be looked upon with pride by Democrats.
