How do you lower the cost of healthcare and at the same time don’t allow insurance companies to charge more for pre-existing conditions? If you have convered this specific question in your previous posts I am unaware of it. 

I told you.  Go read my posts about it.  They're amazing.  But, as usual, you don't want to be informed . You'd rather just be ignorant and just give away everyone else's money instead.

Since he has admitted it wasn't about cost but access we actually know the answer.  And because of that, why should we ever trust the Dems with healthcare again?  They flat out lied to us last time 

What's the republican proposal?

Change the subject?  The subject is Obamacare is a democrat failure and we should never trust a democrat again on healthcare.  So, what's the Republican plan?

That's changing the subject?

In any discussion of health care in this country there are are 2 points that have to be accepted by all: 

1. Americans want affordable health insurance, not affordable health care. They don’t care about affordable health care or the cost of health care, high or low: they only want to pay a fixed affordable monthly sum that pays for most or all of their health care when necessary. 
 

2. Americans want everyone with pre-existing conditions to pay the exact same monthly payment as everybody else and be given the exact same care as everybody else. 
 

Unless your solution meets these two points then your solution is meaningless. I suspect that is the case with @Strike but he’s free to correct me if I am wrong. 

 

Americans dont want to pay less for groceries,  they just want their grocery bill to be lower. 

Americans dont want their politicians to be more honest, they just dont want them to lie.

Americans dont want cheaper gas, they just want to fill their cars up for less.

I’m a Catholic, Mass going, Bible reading man myself & I’d be pretty darned careful reviewing God’s particular choices in this vein since oh say 1914.

Charlie Kirk was saved by the Hand of God, God took Charlie Kirk to Heaven, God Saved trump at that time, because it’s not trumps time to go to Hell.  Indeed

No, I’ll stick with Following my Lord and Savior, and not a dead mary, or a man pope.   Only one way.  

One cannot save ones self.  Fool.

I didn't gloss over, I ignored, because it's stupid.  You're very stupid.

You think it's stupid to discuss how whenever the government subsidizes things, the underlying things tend to go up in cost?  Bless your heart.  Maybe explain to us again what a false dichotomy is.

@RaiderHaters Revenge

The government shutdown may last longer because of a fight over hemp Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he will not support speedy passage of a deal to reopen the government because of a provision that would make some THC products illegal.

Just starting to hear about this. How and why is any of this language in the bill to reopen the government?

Republicans are throwing all kinds of BS into the bill now.  What a clownshow.

Look at this horse sh1t...

Senate Republicans secured a provision in the bipartisan, shutdown-ending government funding package that could award senators hundreds of thousands of dollars for having their phone records collected without their knowledge as part of a Biden-era investigation.

That legislative language came directly from Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
