WELCOME! Good to have you here.
You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.
At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.
Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!
Obama lied to the American people plain and simple. He knew that some people wouldn't be able to keep their healthcare. You just want to give him a pass? Start doing some real research, and be more critical. Health plan prices are increasing, and there are people who still won't have health insurance. I just want to know how it makes you feel when someone lies straight to your face?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your speedy reaction, Anonymous. From the instantaneous comment, just after my posting, it's clear you didn't take time to read either article or editorial. Thus, you become a case in point: Right-wingers tend to react rather than respond, and deflect from the core points rather than delve into facts and present constructive arguments. Forgive me for befuddling you by offering opportunities to by-pass propaganda in favor of information backed by facts and critical thinking. You would learn from reading both the linked pieces.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous, Obama didn't lie to anyone. Faux News has told you he did but since you believe everything they tell you, it's not worth the time to explain. Do some independent research yourself and you will see rising prices haven't been rising at the rate it was before the passing of ACA. How do YOU feel that Faux News lies to you ALL THE TIME?
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous, Obama didn't lie, Faux News does. It's just possible that greedy insurance companies have decided to get rid of some of the low-profit policies since they can make more money off of the better ones. Stop watching Faux News and do some independent research yourself. The people who won't have insurance are the working poor who live in republican states that turned down Medicaid Expansion. They are just political pawns caught in a trap they have no way of escaping until they start voting for their own interests.
ReplyDeleteGood points, CherieAnne Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow did anonymous find his way to Lucy Left? Hope it wasn't my page. Dear anonymous, did you know the insurance companies have been canceling/threatening existing policies since the passing of ACA because they knew their gooses were cooked. They had been selling people lousy, but fairly cheap, policies for years. As a concession to getting ACA passed these companies got some leeway. However, since their policies didn't contain the coverages that ACA was guaranteeing people, they would soon be up the creek. They have done everything imaginable to make it look like the President's fault. If you have the ability to research things for yourself, I highly recommend it. It's refreshing.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Debbie. Finally the insurance companies are being exposed for their exploitation; better late than never? Let's hope so!
