Quote:So BiffSkippy what's your opinion on CheetoCare?

 

Well, the downside is that it doesn't seem to have any price transparency, and shifting subsidies to credits doesn't do anything for me, The 30% surcharge will create market instability and is a lame workaround to try for risk sharing. Medicaid seems like a mess, so curtailing it ramps up anger over lack of coverage while not supporting a crappy system (a good thing maybe). I love that it gets rid of the mandate to buy into a crap system. All in all, it seems to gut Obamacare (which is OK with me) and provide nothing decent in return.

 

The really good news is that none of the free market advocates on the board here seem to like it either. I get the sense that although we have different views on ways to solve the problem, we all seem to think that the Republican plan doesn't come anywhere near taking care of things.
