If you make 15k or under you get FREE health insurance under medicaid extension. This allows someone with a part time job to still have a basic safety net of health insurance(previously you could only get this if you were on certain welfare programs) This is probably the most important part of the universal health insurance portion of the aca. Unless you live in a moron state that blocked this move. If you make a little more than that you get a subsidized plan and it also allows you to buy into an exchange. Different levels of subsidy based on income. The fact is that if you don't have a good job with benefits and you try to buy a REAL good insurance plan individually before ACA, the insurance companies would absolutely rape you with price. People don't seem to understand how expensive buying real insurance if individually before aca. The aca allows you to buy into an exchange(thus reducing cost right there by spreading cost) and it subsidizes you if you have lower income. It also protects you from pre existing conditions. Yes it was a good deal for insurance companies. The aca is not a left wing plan. It was originally designed by reupubs to bring more people into the system. It's not a socialist plan actually. Socialized plan would get rid of insurance companies. Get rid of the middle man. But this plan is WAY better than what we had before. What we had before was a national disgrace.(50 million americans with no health insurance at all and a TON of people with crap health insurance or insurance that doesn't really cover anything)
The facts remain 30 million MORE Americans now have health insurance that had none before(that's nearly the population of Canada!). That will save countless lives. And the sky isn't falling.
That is so wrong. Not everyone gets FREE medicaid...you have to have children to qualify for medicaid. Having tried the process, the best place to get help for hospital bills and dr bills is through the hospital and doctor. They have programs....mediicaid wont do ****. Plus medicaid is the worse "care" possible. How can anyone think it is a good program to be on? Espousing that crap is just something people have heard...not tried. There was no need to change the system. It did not change anything other than try to get everyone to pay taxes to the government.
I believe that The Planet of the Apes may truly happen one day. I know its science fiction, but if you take that movie and study the general plot of that movie, it may well happen in some form or another.
Oh that's hilarious, every time I see that tax cheat Al Sharpton he reminds me of one of the apes in planet of the apes.

The only true winners in the Obama scam is the insurance companies and the government. If you don't buy insurance the government wins by way of penalty. If you buy insurance and aren't a deadbeat the insurance company wins by way of sky high policy rates. Do they pay out? Well that sky high deductible will help keep the money on the insurance companies balance sheet.
President Obama is the best ever. The man was given the worst mess in history courtesy of Republican Bush, who was the worst president in history. He was cursed with a bigoted Republican contingent, driven insane because a black man has been elected President of the United States. He has faced by far more idiotic opposition and obstruction from the opposing party, than any President in history. He has been cursed with the Congress from Hell, a Republican-ruined, do-nothing Congress whose sole intent is to make him fail, not help the country. He is the most scrutinized President in history because of the internet and social media. He has excelled as a leader, in the most dangerous time in history, dangerous because it is POST-BUSH. He is cursed by a Republican-corrupted Supreme Court, which has made decisions to bring back Jim Crow and support campaign financing to favor Republicans.
Not only does he have Republicans at home, working 24/7 to chop off his head, but he must deal with ongoing Middle eastern conflict, Russian aggression, North Korea lunacy, Israel's uncompromising intrusion on Arab land and killing of Arabs, China, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Immigration.
He goes about his job with a level of class, poise, dignity, resolve, depth, and effectiveness that Republicans can't even begin to come close to. Best ever? You bet.
