Making sense of - repealing Obamacare and having healthcare reform at the same time seems like a contradiction. After all Romney is like Obamacare.
But there are parts of Obamacare that relate directly to funding, cost cutting, and especially profit, personal and corporate that particularly offend the GOP.
Obamacare - Increases the capital gains tax on Investments.
It modifies the tax code to allow the IRS to reject deductions that are just contrived to avoid tax.
It reduces profits of Pharmaceutical companies by lowering drug payments.
The Affordable Care act Limits salaries of top execs. in Healthcare Companies,
It Limits profits of healthcare companies by requiring them to either spend 80%-85% of premiums on Healthcare, or rebate the difference back to customers...
And if "Medicare Advantage" companies ( private companies trying to profit by creating plans to replace Medicare ) fail to pay 80%-85% of premiums toward healthcare, they will go out-of-business.
The GOP plan is to convert all of Medicare to for-profit private insurance- the opposite of what Obamacare will do.
So when Romney sounds like he's contradicting himself, just know what he might be singling out the parts of healthcare that allow people to profit and avoid taxes...
