“The only thing worse than Obamacare, is the mess it replaced.”
Sure wasn’t the case for me and my wife. While we are lucky that we were able to get new H/C policies at a decent price (and w/o deductibles) since we are on SSA and don’t have to geet insurance for Obolacare. But Obolacare mandates forced the cancellation of the policies we had which met our needs very well. But look at the bright side, at 75, I can get an abortion for free (and I’m a guy), and free drug counseling!
For people too young for actual retirement, the old system was a setup for eventual failure.
We continue to ship ever-more jobs to Asia, and so ever-more Americans are losing their jobs.
Every time that happens, if you are on an existing coverage program, if you end up out of the existing coverage go-forward for something you get treated by the existing coverer for, if you end up losing your job, you would LOSE COVERAGE FOR THAT THING.
Not because you stopped being covered. Because you changed insurers.
That is completely unfair, and that is what Obamacare covered for the first time.
Lots and lots of people ran aside of their existing coverage for this.
That was fixed, by Obamacare.
So while I believe Obamacare needs to be fixed, we should not go back to the mess we had before. It was even worse.
