Sorry to bring up the facts but Obama care is doomed no matter what. Just this year premiums are going up again by 20 percent and many people just cannot pay for it anymore. Also many big insurance companies are pulling out of the exchanges. The law may have worked better if something would have been done about the cost of healthcare.
The problem will not be solved until we figure out why the us pays more per capita than any other advanced nation for healthcare. We are being robbed and know one seems to know by who. Until we control cost it does not matter if we have a market driven system or a socialist single payer one, the high cost IS thr problem. Solve the cost problem and we could make either system work.
My premiums are through the roof. I can’t afford it. Because I drive all day and night making money, I’m not poor enough to get any subsidies. So this year I’m going to have to pay $750 on my tax return because I can’t afford to buy insurance. But I can’t afford the health care either! And have you seen those deductibles? If anything should happen to you, you go bankrupt. I’ll tell you who benefitted from Obamacare. Not the poor. It’s the insurance companies and the government.”
I pointed out that Hillary Clinton said she would try to improve it.
“You kidding? The whole campaign, she defended all this #@#$!. She is just like the rest of these people, all talk, no action, just like Trump said. She has been pushing a pen for 30 years. She is not affected by high premiums. Her health care is covered. She has no idea what the rest of us are going through.”
why has Obamacare been #1 on the republican agenda and they can't get a single plan together after all these years. It has literally been the first thing on their docket since day one. And isn't Obamacare just a remixed version of Romney-care? I bet every time they draw up a plan it's end up being Obamacare.
Back when Obamacare was being passed, there were town halls and everyone was mad about the healthcare reform. Now when trump is getting ready to repeal it everyone is against it and agrees trump has to replace it. But they don't even understand what Obamacare is and what they don't like about it and what to replace it with.
I want back what that lying ass took away from me.
Agree. I get a very good insurance plan through my company for a really good price. Recently though, choices became more limited and the price went up by close to 30% for me if I remember correctly, I don't have the numbers in front of me.
Hillary not only defended Obamacare that most everyone in real life hates, she took credit for it in interviews before the campaign, pointing out that Obamacare was once called Hillarycare. At this point in the timeline, this was a bit like taking credit for the Zika virus.
Obama and Clinton and the gang thought they could cobble together one system for the whole of America – using good intentions, tape, gum, mandates, and tons of government FORCE, all with zero bipartisan cooperation – betrays an amazing arrogance. They have paid the price for it.
People’s experiences with it differ depending on a huge range of issues. But generally, the result was disaster.
Everything went wrong from day one to the present. The worst of it – huge premium increases, collapsing insurers, clogged exchanges, soaring deductibles – all happened in an election year. Even in the week before the election, the announcement came that premiums would rise again, between 25% and 90% – a fact which Trump emphasized in every speech and in ads running all over the country.
In my own case, I recall getting a notice within days after the program went into effect that my premiums would go up to hilariously intolerable levels.
