This affordable care Act makes it so that people who are poor and people with preexisting conditions can get affordable health insurance. The preexisting condition clause that insurance companies utilized to maximize profits HAD TO GO!

But its being paid for by other people often who are in middle class .Nothing is free and this is just more wealth sharing that has started to destroy the middle class.It actually punishes a person for healthy lifestyle and effort to achieve.

I thought most were against going into Syria because it was none of our business and we are not the worlds police force.

What the hell?

They are basically paying for the health insurance of poor people. People that they don't even know or associate with. They worked hard all their lives and are now PENALIZED if they don't buy it. They are basically being FORCED to purchase expensive health insurance to subsidize the poor.

What a socialist, utopian joke this law is. It's immoral, impossible and cannot work.

86% of Americans were HAPPY with their health plans prior to the ACA. And now these damn liberals want everyone to pay higher premiums so that the other 14% of Americans who are uninsured can GET healthcare.

I am not interested in paying for someone else's healthcare. And if I was poor, I would not be interested in being bailed out by someone else. It's MY responsibility to manage my health. Not somebody else or the government.
More affordable for this guy to the tune of 15K.

Insurance rates are going up because insurance companies cannot drop you after you get sick, they cannot deny you insurance for having pre existing conditions, they cannot charge you significantly more for being old, and because there is no lifetime cap on policies.

That's nice, but you aren't paying for the poor. Most of your money goes to seniors; we spend much more on them than the poor.
According to Obama and you left wing kooks, all of these new benefits were supposed to DROP the price of insurance, because of the 30,000,000 new customers the insurance was going to get to help spread the cost around..

Are you admitting Democrats didnt know what the hell they were talking about?

Wrong, the poor have medicaid and medicare, the cost of course is being picked up by the middle class to the tune of thousands of dollars a year..

And the profit of the insurance industry is about 3% a year..

One can always tell those who dont know what their talking about by listening to them say stupid crap like this.

I was totally unaware that insurance premiums were impacted by political affiliation. Dude, if it can happen to me, it can happen to you.
