Quote:I for one, think the American Health Care Act is a great idea. Speaker Ryan has a gem of a bill on his hands. By creating a healthcare system that systematically creates barriers to everyone who isn’t rich from getting healthcare, he serves the noble purpose of purging America of the poor. It’s just a shame that he won’t come out and admit that’s the point of his bill.
ObamaCare failed for the simple reason that it cared about the poor. High subsidies for the poor to get care, expansion of Medicare, creating free market exchanges with minimum levels of care, all were geared towards actually helping people. As was the elimination of cut rate insurance which provided little actual coverage but charged people giving them a sense of insurance theater. Coupled with the individual mandate which nudged people towards taking responsibility for their own care, millions and millions and millions of people got coverage. The biggest flaw of Obamacare was actually providing revenue streams that could possibly match the expenses of banning denials on pre-existing conditions and banning lifetime limits.
Here is where I must applaud Speaker Ryan. The American Health Care Act sneakily keeps both of the popular Obamacare conditions of banning denials on pre-existing conditions and banning lifetime limits, but gets rid of the individual mandate. Now, now I hear you saying “but there’s a 30% fee!” Yes, there is, but that incentivizes people not to get coverage when they are healthy and pocket the money only to sign up when they need coverage. This is genius because it deprives insurance from being able to actually generate enough revenue to match the outrageous costs of banning denials on pre-existing conditions and banning lifetime limits. Speaker Ryan has legislated a death spiral. Of course he criticized Obama for Obamacare having an alleged death spiral, but here, it’s written right into the law! With no hope of ever generating enough revenue to cover such costs, insurance carriers will either simply stop offering policies in areas, or charge everyone horrendously high prices as they cannot discriminate outside of age. Eventually, very few people will be able to afford insurance including many with pre-existing conditions. Now, won’t this end up with many of them unable to get the necessary care they need?
That’s the point! The TrumpCare death spiral is a genius way of backdoor killing these people and it’s about time we purged society of the invalids. Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands will die and with declining care available to the rest of the poor, many of them will die off too. America has a once in a generation chance of exterminating the poor and we should thank Speaker Ryan and President Trump for it and we can start right now as insurance is allowed to drop these people immediately upon passage of this glorious healthcare law.
Now, I hear you whispering in the back about HSAs. HSAs are designed for rich folk like me to sock away thousands of dollars tax free. A family making $50,000 cannot put away $14,000 into an HSA. HSAs are merely cover to pretend that Trump and Ryan are offering the poor and middle class a chance at care. It’s an illusion of hope, a mirage we need long enough to get this rammed through Congress without any of the standard procedures so we can start exterminating the poor as soon as possible.
Oh, and that new change of allowing insurers to charge FIVE TIMES the cost to the old? Good. It’s time we kill the elderly off too. They smell bad, drive slow and get too many discounts. Pricing them out of healthcare is a sure fire way to exterminate the old folks too.
Now, you’re thinking what else can we do to exterminate the poor? Well, Andrew Puzder was a great choice for labor nominee as a CEO who cared so little about his workers fits perfectly into the current world. Not only did he underpay the poor who worked for him, he wanted to bring in immigrants who he could pay even less at the same time automating out such jobs so we would not even need the poor at all! We need more people who so flagrantly don’t care about anyone but the rich in power.
The problem the Republicans have is that they won’t come out and support Paul Ryan’s attempt to exterminate the poor by the millions. Honestly, we should have exterminated the poor years ago. Why should the rich have to care for anyone but themselves? Why should anyone care about what happens to others? Money is the only thing that matters today as Cal Thomas’s recent article on March 7, 2017, says “Do you care more about the Russians, or your increasing net worth? I thought so.” The idea of a free, independent, ethically clean America where people don’t have to beg strangers to fund their healthcare isn’t important as long as you’re rich. Thus, I ask you reader, why do we even pretend to care about the poor? It’s time we start killing the poor and killing them in large numbers.
