I only read six pages of this thread and i'ma little confused by some. I admittedly know little about OC. Why do many of you not have insurance through your jobs? Massachusetts has had Romney care (mass health-same as Obama care really) for many years and I cannot say it's ever been on my radar. None of it has affected me or my family. We have Harvard Pilgrim now and BCBS in the past. I have a friend who used it for two months when he lost his job and went off when he found employment with insurance.
My position is that everyone should be covered and if you cannot get it through your employer (why?) and cannot afford to purchase it on your own then it should be subsidized by those of us working until you get yourself together. For those who remain low earners as a lifestyle I think you need to be subsidized within reason, but not left out in the cold. Healthcare should be a right not a privilege.
Trump hasn't come up with anything better. His plan will add to out of pocket expenses, leave up to 25 million without coverage, and add over $40 billion to our annual budget.
Many "not working " are actually working... they just work under the table for legit businessss or illegally as criminals, drug dealers etc
This is one area that irks me. I do have a number of personal anecdotes of losers gaming the system. Real POS type people. But, that doesn't mean healthcare shouldn't be a right and I remind myself that we're all fighting over crumbs while the Trumps of the world are essentially gaming the entire pie.
News flash: Insurance premiums have been going up for years, well before Obamacare. Let's see the GOP plan to fix this situation.
True they went up .
But Obamacare was marketed by Obama and Hillary as the solution to that .
The name itself is affordable health care act .
This turned out to not be true. So they either lied or they were wrong .
