Rename

[joeydb]

They should just rename the ACA the "Abolition of Care Act". They can even keep the initials.

to the fact that it took you 3 years to think that.

oh, how clever...

joey, i'm sorry that you're upset that they are trying to find ways to get more people coverage. that people who couldn't get insurance now will be able to.
it'll be ok, really. keep in mind that your ancestors were against social security, medicare, and unemployment insurance. the country survived their implementation, it'll survive this too.

.

Cut the B.S. They are increasing premiums of every healthy for their age, non-smoking, young policy holder including forcing them to buy needless coverage inclusions in order to pay for unhealthy (whether their own fault or not), smokers and those with previous conditions.

When fantasy becomes reality it isn't always pretty.

We have luxury cars and economy cars, we have Morton's and McDonalds, we have mansions and apartments yet we're all supposed to have the same healthcare coverage with those who can't afford it paid for by the rest?

When it was fantasy we all were going to save money because you know the uninsured were using the ER as primary care. Now we find out there are no savings just ever inflating costs. And some think it's just a bumpy start.

Is They Obama or is They the ****ing leeches in the Insurance Industry who wrote the law that have put themselves between Care Provider and Person needing care like the ****ing Mafia?

Both, one ordered the hit and the other is carrying it out. Just like the mafia.

Just think if Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Bentley etc. could get the President to mandate every American own a luxury car and the car manufacturers would decide what was needed as accessories. Every car is now inflated to 100K and those who can't afford are supplemented. Those not buying a car are fined.

At least in the above scenario your average gangbanger would participate. How many do you think will purchase coverage and have insurance when they turn up at the ER next year with gunshot wounds?

if anyone is curious about why anything is included in the aca...they need just follow the money.
does anyone really think that those who wrote obamacare actually give a damn about getting people care? or is it how to make more money? i think it's the latter.
when people celebrated about all the new, 'free' stuff that would be mandated, i said nothing is free, it'll have to be paid for, and it'll be paid for thru premiums. does anyone really believe that the health insurers were going to take less profit because they suddenly got philanthropic?! if so, they're dreaming.

the common-sensical law would have forced everyone onto the most basic care system, and people could have added what they wanted. but common sense doesn't have a lobby, while health insurance companies do. by being forced to take the unhealthy and those with pre-existing issues, they required a way to balance that on their books. the requirements that everyone buy, and that everyone buy more options is that way. less age brackets is another.
the obese and smokers will pay more as well, since they tend to be more of a drain on the system. what gets me about smokers is how they bitch that they can't afford stuff, while spending 5-6 bucks or so (per pack!) a day on their habit.

The Dems. The public calls it "ObamaCare" for a reason, and only the Democrats passed this piece of sh*t. So, here comes the pain. Oh, to be a Democrat trying to hold their office in the next election is not going to be pretty.

They own this mess.

[joeydb]

Says who? I just chose to post it now.

And the effects of this law are no longer theoretical, now that it has been passed and "we can find out what's in it."

Watching the Democrats commit hari kari over this is going to be the only bright spot in this disaster.

Now is the time for an outright repeal of this P.O.S. I don't think Obama will want to sign it, but there will be enough furor to eventually get 2/3 in both houses to override. Especially when the employee-provided insurance is affected in 2014 and the vast majority of current policy holders lose their insurance in the same way that the individual policy holders did.

[Danzig]

again, anyone caught by surprise that their current plan isn't up to snuff has no one to blame but themselves. it's been common knowledge for some time. years actually.

the website is an unmitigated disaster.

you're dreaming if you think there will be an outright repeal.
