Now 2/3 of Americans support Universal Care. Is this a response

When Obama said that, the assumption was that the ACA would not be gutted by GOP lawsuits. The insured pool would include healthy young people at a much higher rate.
The numbers about who voted for Obama don't lie. If you dispute them, show what suports your statement. Truth is not conservative, liberal or any ism. Plain and simple 1+1=2

BSYes, southern white voters overwhelmingly did not support Barack Obama, and race played a significant role in that dynamic.Voting Numbers and Support• Low Support in the Deep South: In the 2008 election, Barack Obama won an estimated 16% of white voters across the broader Deep South (including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas).
• State-by-State Lows: White voter support dropped as low as 10% in Alabama, 11% in Mississippi, and 14% in Louisiana. This was a steep drop compared to prior Democratic nominees like John Kerry (who won 19% of white voters in Alabama in 2004).
• Deepening Polarization: By the 2012 election, the racial divide in the South grew even sharper, with white Southern loyalty to the Republican Party (such as Mitt Romney) surging while Black Southern voters remained solidly Democratic.Why Race Mattered• Racial Attitudes and Polling: Political science and polling data from the era (such as studies from the Equal Justice Initiative and University of Florida research) showed that lingering racial resentment and identity politics heavily influenced white voter behavior in the region.
• The "Blackening" of the Campaign: Analyses by sociologists and political commentators noted that opposition campaigns, media narratives, and controversies (such as the focus on Jeremiah Wright or coded political framing) frequently activated racial anxieties among working-class and conservative white Southerners.
• Partisan Realignment: While white Southerners had been shifting toward the Republican Party for decades following the Civil Rights movement, Obama's historic candidacy accelerated the solidification of the South into a starkly race-polarized electorate where the Democratic Party became predominantly non-white in the region.

MissAmericanPie :
Another thought just crossed my mind, how does the medical world get away with charging 10 times more than insurance allowables? EOBs are shocking to look at, talk about wasted paperwork

Please feel free to read what you are going to post before you post it. Your posts are really hard to read there are so many errors in them. Thanks in advance.

I dash most off between work tasks

pickme2 : All they have to do is show up at the hospital. My sister worked at the hospital. And you know what they put in for the Social Security number all zeros that tells the government that they're here illegally and the government picks it up for the hospital. Stop acting like you don't know.

sweetie :
Your sister is describing an internal cost shifting process, not one that results in any government payment for services. If it did it was fraud.
She should contact the HHS Office of Indpector General to report it. Whistleblowers can get big bucks.

pickme2 : Thank God Obama is not the president. He screwed us so bad on that healthcare. Took our good insurance away and then our insurance companies that we were able to keep raise the prices because of Obama care. Absolutely crazy. They need to keep their hands off our healthcare.

sweetie :
Your understanding of how good insurance was may be influenced by your not knowing or understanding the practices pre ACA. There are reasons for its widespread popularity.

sweetie :
God made Obama president from my understanding of how world leaders work.

I'll stay the course.

Rapsalot : I think you're wrong there, sir. I searched and research insurance companies when my DH owned his contractor business. I was the one in charge of insurance so I think I know a little bit about insurance companies.

pickme2 : Well God made all the presidents. That makes absolutely no sense. But if you want our country to become a socialist country and open borders and have higher taxes and expand the Supreme Court and open prisons and have less cops and less law in order and cashless bail and healthcare for all go ahead and vote Democrat/Socialist/Communists because we're going to lose our country through socialism. I don't see you trying to break into a socialist country because it does so well.

sweetie :
LOL, posted like true fox entertainment viewer. Are we a socialist country yet? Everything is higher since the GOP/fascist took over. How is expanding the supreme court all those things, it's been done before.

sweetie :
Contact the HHS Office of Inspector General.

They know far more than I, your sister or you know about what constitutes fraud. The Houston office is one the busiest in the US. Nobody tops South Florida.
