Unfortunately, the good ways are politically infeasible at this point.

2018-10-04 00:30:58 UTC  

wait $100?

2018-10-04 00:31:02 UTC  

what kind of operations?

2018-10-04 00:31:05 UTC  

hair removal?

2018-10-04 00:31:17 UTC  

plucking eye brows?

2018-10-04 00:31:46 UTC  

I mean NOW might not be the time but someone has to be thinking about it

2018-10-04 00:32:13 UTC  

@Undead Mockingbird trying to find an example. But it's stuff like basic checkups for $15.

2018-10-04 00:32:22 UTC  

hmm

2018-10-04 00:32:34 UTC  

well anything surgical for $100 would be amazing

2018-10-04 00:33:22 UTC  

Surgical is pricier. But in this hospital price reductions of the order of >80% are not uncommon.

2018-10-04 00:33:54 UTC  

I mean part of the problem is that the legislation probs had little input from actual healthcare professionals

2018-10-04 00:33:58 UTC  

ACA that is

2018-10-04 00:34:14 UTC  

indeed

2018-10-04 00:34:20 UTC  

i mean here in canada it barely does

2018-10-04 00:34:24 UTC  

Its like with Gun Control

2018-10-04 00:34:30 UTC  

the gouvt just throws money at healthcare

2018-10-04 00:34:37 UTC  

and i mean they got a big limit

2018-10-04 00:34:41 UTC  

reds still gonna lose the house?

2018-10-04 00:34:45 UTC  

No, the AMA endorsed Obamacare.

2018-10-04 00:34:48 UTC  

or is it tossup now

2018-10-04 00:35:02 UTC  

The experts tend to ride legislation for their own benefit.

2018-10-04 00:35:09 UTC  

hm

2018-10-04 00:35:20 UTC  

did they endorse the OG or what it became

2018-10-04 00:35:30 UTC  

What it became.

2018-10-04 00:35:34 UTC  

ah

2018-10-04 00:35:35 UTC  

hm

2018-10-04 00:35:38 UTC  

intersting

2018-10-04 00:35:49 UTC  

They were pretty against the Original if I recall. But Obama needed support to win over the Blue Dogs.

2018-10-04 00:35:58 UTC  

So he met with the AMA and they endorsed it.

2018-10-04 00:35:59 UTC  

wow, my discord is going crazy

2018-10-04 00:36:03 UTC  

hm

2018-10-04 00:36:33 UTC  

but how involved were they in the legislation itself?

2018-10-04 00:36:47 UTC  

I'm not sure. Most of the ACA writing was done opaquely.

2018-10-04 00:36:58 UTC  

To prevent the Republicans from learning about it and criticizing it.

2018-10-04 00:37:08 UTC  

"Vote for it and find out what's in it"

2018-10-04 00:37:17 UTC  

only shows weakness to do that

2018-10-04 00:37:33 UTC  

that practice needs to stop

2018-10-04 00:37:35 UTC  

ACA was what swept the Republicans into power.

2018-10-04 00:37:43 UTC  

But they failed to kill it.

2018-10-04 00:37:49 UTC  

yea
