Ohhhhhhhhhhhh....another "crap" plan with nothing to back up what was stated....
And a typical leftist response...I have no clue, but if I jack up the numbers it will look more impressive when I lie...
No actual facts. Which predictably cause your head to explode. The ACA explicitly limits out of pocket maximums if you have insurance which is to say that past a certain amount per beneficiary per year you cannot be made to pay any more.
As the midterm elections near, stay tuned for more democrat sponsored "stories" (like the one above) about the wonderful benefits of Obamacare. All of the issues regarding higher costs, people losing thier insurance, and patients losing thier doctors will be silenced in the media.
This is like "1984"- we have a media that has become a propaganda unit for Obama.
To be fair most of the media spots I have seen come out are Republican sponsored about how horrible Obamacare is. Often thought the people featured in them are too lazy to get insurance because they don't want to use a website, or are lying about their coverage.
Either way most of the Obamacare ads are from the right.

You mean they really had a $500,000 deductiable? That is what you said....

Oh child.. The only people who had high deductibles like that were called catastrophic policies, and they usuallyhad seperate policies which took them up to the limit...

No that is an actual insurance plan that existed before Obamacare. It was marketed principally to college students and was essentially a way of cheating your way around the insurance requirement.

There was no prior out of pocket maximum that is part of the ACA. On the other hand there were much more common lifetime maximums which mean that you were SOL in terms of any insurance if you hit them. Basically it was an insurance company death panel of sorts for disabled people who required long term expensive medical treatment.

Generally the people who bought them were students trying to meet a health care coverage requirement at universities, the very poor who could only afford that, and idiots who only looked at price and ignored everything else.

And this maximum out of pocket added to the cost of insurance and made them go up, but Obama said policies woudl drop $2500 PER FAMILY..
Are you still waiting for the savings? You stand here and make all sorts of excuses and outright lie just like he did, but that doesnt make it anymore affordable to most.
