@TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama And they’re paying less than they would be in a private system. For care with measurably better results.

@centagis @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama The govt doesn’t have anything that it doesn’t take from the people. The people getting the subsidies are r paying. The people paying taxes are.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

@TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama The companies get paid by the government to insure people. Just because the customer isn’t paying doesn’t mean nobody is. So yes, it does increase profits.

@centagis @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama More customers that don’t pay don’t increase profits. They did it because the govt mandated their product and agreed to give them huge subsidies at the same time.

@sdonahu2 @TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @BarackObama In every way that we grade a healthcare system, they beat us. Lack of equipment just increases wait times. Wait times in certain specialist fields increases and that’s literally the only metric we perform worse in. Their systems are even cheaper.

It is not just the specialists, the supply of care is also reduced by lower availability of complex medical equipment to perform tests. Are you sure it is medical care that is better or are the people in those countries generally healthier than we are? For decades our country allowed our food supply to be ruined by pesticides and additives, etc. And we have been hostage to big Pharma, and we are over medicated. We have done little to deal with obesity and poor fitness. We finally see some things being done to change this, but we are a long way away from the healthiest people in the world.

@TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama Because it guaranteed millions more people would obtain coverage. Their profit margins didn’t grow. Often times they actually shrank, but more people paid for (or were subsidized) coverage which led to overall net profit increasing. More customers + increased prices = profit.

@centagis @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama The insurance companies were all in on the ACA. Maybe ask yourself why.

@sdonahu2 @TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @BarackObama Countries with national healthcare far exceed us in just about every single measurable aspect. The only exception to this is wait times for some medical specialists increase. The fact that some people even try to hold this debate still is laughable.

@sdonahu2 @TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @BarackObama The name is irrelevant. I’m sure it sounded catchy. By “added more bureaucracy” you mean it eliminated unethical and harmful practices designed to exploit our sick to generate profit. Yes that increases prices. National healthcare does not lead to performance issues.

@TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama There are millions more people insured now than before the ACA. More people have insurance now. Yes it costs more. I suffer that price the same as anyone else.

@centagis @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama lol - hundreds of thousands of people lost their affordable plans and were forced into more expensive plans with higher deductibles. Some couldn’t see their doctor any longer.

@TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama He said on his campaign trail that his bill would save that much. However the ACA was not the bill he wanted. It was the watered down version. He wanted a completely national healthcare option, but that wouldn’t pass. So instead we got the ACA.

@centagis @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @BarackObama Also, Obama explicitly said it was going to save families $2,500 per year. Funny claim to make if it “wasn’t designed to lower costs.”

@TheodoreRoosev8 @nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @YossiGestetner @BarackObama It wasn’t designed to lower costs. You have to nationalize for that to happen. It was designed to restrict healthcare companies from screwing people over. It expanded coverage. Who knew that when you stop letting health insurance companies hurt people, they charge more?!

@nateski_s @FanOfObjTruth @grok @sdonahu2 @YossiGestetner @BarackObama The point is, the ACA didn’t lower healthcare costs. It increased them overall and passed more of the burden onto people who pay taxes. It’s just a redistribution scheme, nothing more.

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach I would try to walk you through how empirical data and subjective positions not based on data aren’t the same thing and can’t be equally obtained from google searches, but I don’t think you have any sort of understanding of true logic so it would go right over your arrogant head.

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach You should listen to yourself bro it’s good advice. By the way. I told you a Google search would confirm what I said. I’m not sure why you have selective reading it’s intriguing to be honest

Yea man 27 million a year for a C sheesh Yall got that 😂😂😭

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach You didn’t say anything. You just said you googled it. I just know you’re slow asf IRL 😂

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach lol you love disregarding what I say because you know I’m right. Tendencies of a close minded person. Go jerk off to your gooner accounts you lonely chess player

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach Things can be harder and not as valuable as something else. Packing mud pies all day is grueling labor, but nobody values it enough to pay you to do it. Being intelligent is easy. You just are. Yet people will pay you well to do the jobs only intelligent people can.

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach Buddy said if a position is harder it’s not correlated to importance 😂😂 and you say I’m all over the place re read what you’ve been spewing out of your ass

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach I think I’ll stick to what actual NFL qbs have said, and not what google AI summarized from some 9 year old reddit comments. That’s pretty much all X is good for nowadays. This conversation demonstrates that.

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach I am and a quick Google search confirms it. Also lay off the only fans twitter accounts bro it’s sad

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach Also, I don’t even accept that argument. There’s no link between the difficulty of something and how valuable it is.

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach You’re all over the place here. It’s not even a convo anymore you’re just spinning in circles 😂

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach I’m going off of what I’ve heard professionals say. I’m not sure why you’re so confident in your own knowledge. You clearly aren’t any more experienced in the NFL than I am.

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach You’re pretty funny though, guy. You think you know more than you do

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach We weren’t talking about which position is harder, guy.

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach Lmao I didn’t think this would be hard to explain to you. If there is less competent ones that means the position is harder lmfao which means the market does focus on talent and potential 🤷

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach You want proof on the market theory of supply and demand? If there are less competent tackles, the price of the good ones goes up. It’s not just about positional importance.

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach Definitely are but I don’t need to include those as they fall into the three categories I said. You don’t even have any proof you’re just kinda talking out your ass

@1Razer9 @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach They’re also based on availability. The market might be more limited for tackles. Definitely more factors than just talent and positional importance.

@centagis @unknowncitykid @NateBate606 @NewEraZach I mean they definitely are. Markets are based off of importance, talent, and potential ; what do you mean? A mediocre center will always perform better than a mediocre tackle

@Mr_Raider_209 @JimHart1964 @nickwalt @AdamSchefter @YourboyQ254 I don’t think Cousins is a bad choice either. I just think Carr is better. Also when did Cousins play in Kubiaks system?

@centagis @JimHart1964 @nickwalt @AdamSchefter @YourboyQ254 Why not go after Kirk Cousins, if your reasoning is system based. Kirk can play in Kubiaks system too. 🤷‍♂️

Will Fernando Mendoza start right out the gate or be eased in? @AdamSchefter this morning on the #Raiders' plans at QB: "The plan is not to rush him. That doesn't mean he won't wind up as the starting quarterback. We're six months from games. But in a perfect world... they'd like to have the backup QB ready for opening day. We've heard many teams say that, and the No. 1 overall pick comes in and they can't help themselves and they can't resist, and he starts on opening day. They can say whatever they want six months in advance, but in the interim, they're building their roster to set it up for... whenever Fernando Mendoza does start, whether that's Week 1, Week 8, or Week 16. They are getting the center, they're building up the defense, there's a lot of work to do... They went on a shopping spree that was unrivaled everywhere but Tennessee yesterday." Geno Smith will be released and unsigned veteran FA QBs include Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, and Jimmy Garoppolo.
