Hey John, after Obamacare, my premiums shot up to $920 a month. Are you willing to pay my premiums each month? If not, why not? You expect me to pay yours.
Or would you rather we wait until it collapses on it's own and no one has insurance?
Well then she has to go on Medicaid. Everything is paid for, what's the problem.
That's ridiculous. Not only does it fly in the face of your "I don't want to pay for your insurance" argument, but the quality of care that she could get if she only had Medicaid is much lower and less accessible.
Color me confused. What did anyone win in this deal? The right to purchase lousy health insurance that doesn't cover what they need, but is cheap? The right to not be able to purchase anything near affordable because they were born with some sort of medical problem? The right to let your employer gut your insurance? Please, tell me what you won here.
It upsets the "libs." Apparently that is enough for some.
ACA IS FAILING! This is a fact. The promise was a lie, they knew it would (intended it to) collapse so they (Dems) could force single payer as a fix. They were arrogant enough to believe they would be in perpetual power, but the people short circuited that.
How does it feel to be a dupe? How does it feel to be steered like a cow?
You didn't notice that I said "now on to the senate"?
Keep underestimating Pubs and Trump. Look how well that has worked out for the left over the last few years.
the President’s Council of Economic Advisers credits the law for what it says is a one-third drop nationally since 2010 in the share of Americans reporting that they have forgone medical care due to cost.
The fact is that some of the failures are attributable to the current mandate's weakness. With many young and healthy Americans opting to pay the penalty rather than purchase insurance, the risk pool for ACA policies has been notably sick -- and expensive to insure. A strong mandate is probably impossible in the United States though.
The posters kid has serious medical problems and you're cracking wise. Got any witty comments I can pass along to my wife who is being treated for breast cancer?
He said his kid would have to go on Medicaid and I said so, then go on Medicaid. What's the problem? My mother, was once middle class, who paid taxes all her life, who in her elderly years became poor. You know what government did when she needed help? They slammed doors in her face and refused to help.
Oh we understand that but why should one group pay $900 or more a month while another group pays $40. And you don't expect the people paying $900+ a month to scream about it?
I don't see exactly what in this bill would cause congressmen to change their mind from the prior bill, the only positive for individuals is the allowance of increased donations to HSA's. Still can charge increased amounts for elderly & sick, ability to waive preexisting conditions, this seems worse than the last bill. I don't see this getting through the senate.
How many time do you have to be told? If nothing is done, everyone loses their healthcare insurance. And the only reason you support it is because someone else helps pay for your insurance.
How exactly does this bill address the problem with some markets closing, who said other than the GOP that we will lose all health care.
