You can thank your Republican representatives who celebrated after voting to screw their constituents. Most should have been run out of town on a rail..
I was THRILLED to finally be able to buy insurance. That's what you don't understand. You have no concept of what it was like to have no access to health insurance. It's a terrifying way to live, always hoping and praying you don't get into an accident or get sick. You know not of what you speak.

As should the DNC for passing that train wreck called ACA.

Which Republicans gave them no alternative but to pass just to get the foot in the door on discussing healthcare reform.
Seems it worked because Americans are finally waking up from their collective stupor where their right to affordable and UNIVERSALLY available healthcare is concerned.
That train is rolling now and none of you are going to stop it ever again. Get used to the idea...you'll live longer.

Healthcare is not a right.
That being said, making a mess a different mess does nothing to fix the mess.
Nobody is denied care when they are in a life and death situation. The left needs to stop with the scare tactics.
Great! I got care when I was wheeled into the ER with a chronic condition. If I had been able to walk into a doctor's office a week earlier, I wouldn't have a pre-existing condition today.
And they have the CHOICE of getting insurance to keep that from happening, that's why it's called insurance.
And when that $500,000 in bills is paid by the insurance companies, it's paid for by the other people paying for insurance.

The real issue is how those with serious pre-existing conditions are paid for.
Personally, I'd like would like to see a federal catastrophic and uninsurable insurance plan that everyone participates in and everyone must help pay for.
People should be responsible for their own normal medical care, but there should be a system that helps with catastrophic illness and the serious pre-existing conditions.
Exactly how does someone living at 100% of poverty level have the CHOICE os getting insurance? How does that work financially?
