We get it. Anyone who doesn't have health insurance is a loser. Let's move on.
No, you dont get it.. Anyone who thinks its compassionate to leave your children with trillions of dollars in debt, who thinks its a great idea to have peoples hours cut so they cant pay their bills, who think its fabulous to rely upon others to pay their bills arent losers, their complete aholes.
Let's see....young people will either be charged for mandatory health insurance (which could be a few hundred a month, depending on their medical history, or, they can pay a fine of $95 a year.....and still get emergency treatment at the ER.
Which way do you thinking people think the majority will go?
MDs are not required to accept uninsured patients who cannot pay at the point of service.
Most in my neck of the woods, verify insurance or your ability to pay before you see the MD.
Otherwise, medical practices would be inundated with the great unwashed and all that.
Plans with lower premiums are offset with higher deductibles no different than pre ACA.
Someone paying $24,000 in annual premiums is not going to face a $2000 deductible.
People without insurance usually go to the ER.
They don't make doctor appts.
Subsidized ACA is for people who cannot afford insurance. If these people can't afford the monthly premiums how in the heck are they going to afford the out of pocket costs ?
People have to pay their $1K-$12K out of pocket costs before insurance kicks in.
I don't know what the government is thinking. They subsidize premiums and demand high out of pocket costs.
Time will tell.
So how are people who arent working, cant find work or working 2 or 3 part time jobs to pay rent and put food on the table supposed to squeeze out an extra $2k?
Well lets see. A bunch of welfare losers looking for yet another handout. They offer nothing to society except to keep Obama in president ya know but that vote is getting more and more expensive keeping them alive.
You have no idea what a handout is paying for health care is not a hand out

If you have $0 income then you get medicaid.
I don't know. That's what I've been commenting on all along.
People with no money will still have no money even after they get free insurance.
Because before it was just one off costs from people going to get care when they really needed. Now it's a constant recurring cost.
How was it a "one-off cost?"
Do you really believe that there weren't uninsured people being treated in ERs all around this country every minute of every day since Reagan decided that ERs had to treat them?
Really?
What the H**LL kind of bubble have people been living in?
