re: For Those Bashing Obamacare

pre existing conditions and no life time max should stay everything else should be tossed out the window

The coverage for children until age 26 will also have to remain, or I see a lot of politicians not getting reelected.

inflated hospital/drug costs, premium costs, doctors visits all go to offset those without insurance and those who can't or won't pay

You write contracts between providers and insurance companies?



Kidding of course. You like most have no idea how the insides work and probably think the insurance companies' margins are 20% or more.

I'd be in favor of going back to the old way. But offering people "Medicaid" with some cost sharing based on your income for pre existing conditions.

rates were not as low as promised.

that's one way to spin it.

you could say that's extremely true and be on point.

My family of three will cost me 12000 in premiums next year. And that is with a 5800 family deductible. frick that. I'm not paying that bullshite. frick obama care and frick obama for squeezing my family. We can't afford to have a second child right now yet hood rats are cranking out babies for free on the reg. frick obama care.

It mandated that no one could be turned down for coverage for folks with a pre-existing condition and that insurance companies couldn't dump a person with a serious illness because it wasn't fiscally preferable.

So because SOME people may have to pay more, EVERYONE has to pay more?

It's an easy fix.

Require healthcare plans be treated like all other insurance.

If you have insurance, and you get sick, and you never pay another dime in premiums, treatment of that illness is covered until it's cured or you die.

Basically if you are covered when the event occurs, the event is covered for life

Explain where these inflated costs show up?

I hope none of the Trump supporters become seriously ill once Obamacare is dismantled.

It does also have some shortcomings, for sure, like some limitations on physician choice and the rates were not as low as promised.

Though if you think that it benefited only low income AA's you would be wrong.

There were middle class folks that were financially wiped out because they were cut from their insurance coverage once they became seriously ill.

it is an incredibly stupid format that was already tried and failed in multiple states, so of course its going to work great at a national level. sure, now a small percentage of the population now has terrible, expensive insurance that didnt before, at the cost to the national debt so high you could probably just have directly purchased all of these people an insurance plan under the existing structure for cheaper. sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something stupid and expensive

Umm.... where do I start... getting grilled exhirbitant amount for cheap items in hospital stays, ambulance rides, doctors visits, emergency room visits for a start.
