You are a dumb guy, whatever your politics. You just spew these platitudes that you can't back up with any basic logic. Fox News is ruining the country by allowing people to give opinions. That was your dumb point. I don't even agree the country is ruined much less that a news channel could ruin it. Did you even go to college, bro? That seems like something a hick would say. I do beliecve you are a hick reviewing your other posts on here.

Stop telling me what to do.

After much deliberation, I have decided to opt out of The "Affordable Care Act", pay the 95 dollar fine, and self insure.

I was hoping there were a few plans that flew under Obama's watchful eye, meaning they were affordable with reasonable deductibles and coverage. But he was competent in making sure they were all rip off plans. He can't design a functional website in 3 years time, but he can ensure American citizens will be price gouged for health insurance.

LOL

I think everyone thought the AHA would be a wonderful thing but people will slowly find out it's a horrible, horrible act.

Do you not realize that AHA is pretty much modeled after the Massachusetts health care reform that was enacted in 2006 under then Governor Mitt Romney?

why did you leftwingers hates Romney so much? lol

Yo ucan't defend the plan so you want to bring up Romney who isn't president.

Romeny was govenor of a very leftwing state and he did pander to them and gave them what they wanted. RomneyCare has the same kind of problems as Obamacare.

800 per month? Really? I have a good friend who has serious chronic illness and without insurance his prescription costs are something like 60,000 a year. Under AHA he's now paying 210 dollars for full coverage including those expensive brand prescriptions.

Also nearly 26 million Americans are eligible for a health insurance subsidy, but few know enough about the provisions of the health care act to apply. Basically anyone who is not a member of a government health insurance program (Medicare or Medicaid) and does not have access to an affordable plan at their workplace can apply to the government to help pay their premiums. These subsidies will be paid directly to the insurance companies, so there are no out-of-pocket expense requirements.

Please learn how to read and write. I wasn't hating Romney, just pointing out the hypocrisy of what that poster wrote.

A dear friend of mine was diagnosed with Huntington's disease a few years ago. Anyone who knows it, its a horrible, cruel disease that hits in the late 20's, early 30's, and gradually eats the brain away for 20-25 years, with the last 10 basically being incapacitated and in a nursing home.

But, with proper care, they can delay it and live a good 10-15 years of life before that. However, almost no one will insure them, because it was a pre-existing condition, and they cant get disability, because they can still live and work a normal life for that 10 years until they can no longer function.

So many just suffer through it, with no care.

Now, under ACA, she and all others with HD can get insurance, and get care, and God willing extend that 10-15 year window by 5 years or so. And 5 years of driving, working, living, walking is a God send when they know what horrible path awaits them in the final 10.

that is bullchit. lol I work for one of the major employers in town and the plan with prescription drugs is 850.

you are a hack, bro. There is no point in talking to some black people about Obama, just a racial soldiarity thing.

All Obamacare did is redistribute wealth. It does nothing to push healthcare costs down for everybody. It punishes the majority to help a few. That makes it horrible no good policy but the leftwing hacks on here don't care about good policy. It is this dumb allegiance to a dumb man in Obama.

You can just go to the Obama healthcare exchange website and see the very high deductibble plans, like 6000 dedutible, start around 220 or so. Most people will end up paying in the 300's min for a 5000 deductible plan. You are oinly going to get generic drugs with those. So obviously you lie and you lie all the time.

1. I don't buy there was a plan for 850. 2. I seriously doubt you work anywhere much less for a major employer. 3. Way to play the race card.
