Unfortunately, the precedent was set with the last guy.
It's All George Bush's Fault!

Nothing at all. That's why this thread is pointless. Nobody has a real answer.

Isn't it terrible that ole Georgette-Jean can stay under her parents insurance for 8 more years?


Again...I have yet to hear one SINGLE compelling point to the original question of this thread haha. Hilarious.
So, being lied to and losing what I liked because of liberal/socialist democrat (LSD) garbage is not compelling? Being forced on threat of fines to comply?


Only an insane idiot would find that acceptable.


ACA is universally disliked in the country. Forcing people off their affordable plans and making them buy garbage plans that are hideously expensive they don't need to subsidize deadbeats.

Guess you have never had brand new vehicle with a lien holder and had a collision. They will not write the check directly to you.(consider yourself educated)
I understand your ignorance about it.

What were you allowed to do on Jan. 19 2009 (the day before Obama officially became president) that you are now longer allowed to do. and please no vague talking points or an idea he presented. Also if it wasn't a problem with his predecessors it cant be a problem with him
the free press is in the tank for obama and witout the free press we are captives of the government

In what insurance fantasy world was an healthcare plan ever tailored to each individual?

If your prior plan included Cancer screening, it did not distinguish between men and women.

Someone at normal weight paid the same premium for the same plan in the same geographic area, as someone overweight/ obese, even though the latter was at higher risk for Heart Disease, Diabetes and complications, High BP, Stroke and some Cancers. Those with healthier lifestyles subsidized those with unhealthy lifestyles.

Older people have always had higher individual plan premiums than younger people.

All insurance involves mutualization of risks.
I had cut out all female garbage before the great lie years ago. I refined it over the years as I aged. BC/BS allowed you to do that and I paid a low premium that fit me.


Not now. Now those that can have to pay for deadbeats. Well, since, as my doctor has stated, I am ridiculously healthy, I pass my Class II medical checks yearly to fly my plane, I retain my license to drive trains for a Class A railroad.


Thus, I pay cash for my doctor's visits.


And I am 56.

No, because that is merely a partisan rant with nothing behind it.

Like traffic laws? Like the requirement that you spend money to purchase the right to drive a car by having registration, license, and insurance? Or like the requirement that you spend money to hunt for wild game?

Then you're insane to have a driver's license.

That's not true.

So your premiums' cost increased. Did you ever notice that costs always increase? Did you notice that the rate of increase is now less than it was prior to the ACA... --LOTS less?

Wow! I used to work for BCBSO(regon) and never saw policies that could be, or had been, so tailored. They slipped right by me.
