I just had 30k ankle surgery I might end up paying $500-$1000

Not sure this is a factual statement

Do you think Jimmy Kimmel knows if the ACA is affordable or not?

I'm pretty sure he hasn't been on healthcare.gov to enter in his info. lol

However, what's the first A in ACA stand for again? I'm pretty sure Jimmy knows that answer.

Again, we'll just disagree. You can straddle the left side of the fence all day if you want.

And with my plan with those charges, my out of pocket would be about $4,000. All plans are different.

So, a family should not have a child unless they can financially cover even the most catastrophic of medical issues?

$4000 shouldn't bankrupt middle class family

Also is that your only insurance choice?

That's correct. Or have insurance to cover that risk.

Now you are catching on.

So anybody who advocates for Affordable Healthcare is advocating for Obamacare?

You're the one making unsupported assumptions, and then act like questioning your lack of support is political itself.

Why can't I have the ACA and universal voter registration without useless ID card requirements?

You are arguing that he didn't mean Obamacare. I suggest that he did. I provided support for that with a quote that mentioned Kimmel's stance that folks should have access to healthcare.

You think it's a stretch to link that statement with the ACA. That's fine.

I know Jimmy's politics. It's more likely than not that he supports the ACA.

This is why you meet resistance. You are like a petulant child who is not happy until you get everything you want.

My bigger point was that Dems don't want any type of compromise on much of anything. That's why we are where we are and why we have Trump. I contend that it's actually your fault.

Well then in the case, probably only like the top 20% in this country should only be having children.

This is how BamaAtl rolls.

I just miss the Second Amendment talks. Nothing like watching her stumble through explaining how vehicle purchasing, operation, and registration works.

before the ACA, insurance companies were dropping anyone that got pregnant or took their kid in for running a temperature.


No, I'd have you believe that insurance companies COULD drop you if they wanted to claim you had a pre-existing condition that you did not disclose. And they did, often.

Post-ACA, they can't. That's the better option.
