What they can do is repatriate US dollars.There's at least a trillion dollars offshore they can easily bring back to US soil. The last time they gave a grace period to repatriate offshore dollars, the U.S economy picked up like crazy, 2005 I believe.

Isn't this a big thing of Trumps?

Ouch.

That's actually a really good idea.

That's actually a really good idea.

Yes it is, it should be done regardless of party or ideology.

Obamacare is essentially failing

And the options are basically going to be public insurance, or increase the penalties for people who don't get Obamacare.

I imagine that Trump being such a epic fuckup is going to move this nation closer to public option

The left is attack Aetna hardcore. Saying they left Obamacare to "punish"  them.

I think how involved the left gets with private business is so fucked up and appalling. Aetna has lost over 400 million in the exchanges since 2014, clearly they're not good for insurance companies

To be fair, Aetna is freaking horrible.

It's almost like there's no sensible role for profit-driven insurance in public healthcare.....

Medicare and Medicaid are the only public healthcare in the USA

Obamacare is just hardcore regulations

The fact that they have to increasingly punish people to participate   and how much money these companies lose goes to show the truth about the exchanges

[Badger]

dcm is right. It's time to move to a true single payer system.
