The ACA is not working for me and another in my family

So, due to the penalty I was forced in getting some kind of coverage last year, so I did.
Premiums for the year $5400 w/ $5000 deductible. F-that shite! But due to me having high blood pressure I was talked into getting it.
But I never went to the doctor at all, I just cut my meds in half and started taking them every other day. Ran out in March, Oh well. My pressure has been 155/105 for over a month. Feel like shite.
On top of that I have a bad hip that I was told it was a bad back, but bullshite. I have no butt muscle due to not putting pressure on the hip. I didn't see the doc all year, just did home therapy since I know a little about rehabbing. But until I get an MRI I really don't know exactly what is the problem. Oh well, I'll deal with the pain.
And before Christmas I hurt my knee so bad it's swollen, probably just fluid, but it hurts like hell. Again, I ain't going to the doctor or getting xrays or mri.
I paid $5400 last yr for nothing because I had to. I'm a small business owner startup and need time and money to really get things going so I can't afford the medical treatment I need to fix my issues.
Sibling is dealing with bad knees, but due to the high deductibles they are just managing the pain the best they can too.
That slogan Make America Sick Again is bullshite and should be applied directly to Obamacare because I guarantee there are more people than me not going to the doctor to fix their issues due to the high deductibles because of Obamacare.
So frick you liberals and frick your support for Obama and his shitty health care plan.
Until this shitty policy is repealed people like me will never see a doctor again.

It's working the frick out of my wallet.

It's not working at all. Every healthcare employee that post here agrees, except that one, because he/she knows way more than the rest of us...obviously. But the average person can see it very clearly in their finances and coverage.

6 days. 6 days until I lose my health insurance. Sure wish my healthy young single arse could get a cheap catastrophic plan that would work for me. Instead, no insurance for me the next year.
Thanks Obama.

Get out of here with your anecdotal evidence. Bamaatl had charts. CHARTS. That obviously proves you are wrong. Anecdotal evidence.

I work in healthcare, for a non profit and it ain't working.
At all.

No policy works for everyone.

United Healthcare is leaving Texas. One of my relatives had UHC but now has to switch to Molina Healthcare because UHC is leaving the state.
We were looking at the plans and they really suck.
He lost his doctor also.

This one doesn't even work for the majority.

Also, I'm at home right now nursing a broken ankle, so I've talked to many people at the doctor's offices over the past few weeks about the healthcare exchanges.
They all said the exchange plans are a nightmare to deal with. The insurance companies need authorization for everything and make these poor people jump through every hoop possible to get treatment. It's a big run-around just to get basic stuff done.

Correct. And that's how we got Obamacare.

No, it's working PERFECTLY.
Now shut the frick up and pay your ridiculous premium increases to fund other people's shitty life choices.

You may consider going to a different country if it is serious. Some country's combined travel and health care costs could be far cheaper. I mean Sweden's is free. Or at least it was before the invasion. I'm not sure if they can afford to do that anymore... but it's worth looking into.
Posted on 1/5/17 at 1:16 pm to Taurus
I'm sure you know that before long you won't need health insurance, right?

So no proof then. I'm down to have a solid argument if you can prove all your facts.

Ok, then start where it helps the majority.
