Julio Herrera, 63, a construction worker, bought what he thought would be the most affordable plan when he enrolled through Maryland’s new insurance exchange this spring.
But he doesn’t understand why he is getting charged for hospital bills when he already pays the insurance company every month. And he did not grasp this thing — a deductible — that was $4,000.
“If there is one concept that people don’t understand, it’s the deductible,”
he’s 63 and doesn’t understand deductible???? What, he’s never insured anything in his life?
These morons are finally figuring out it’s not free! bahahahaha!!
It can be tempting to laugh at the ignorance of the “little people”, but in the words of the late Ann Willis Richards, D-TX, talking about the first and second Bushes, they “cain’t he’p it.”
Then she sustained an injury and had to go for rehab. One night she called me all upset. The physical therapy practice billed her $1200. Seems she didn't realize that wonderful benefit from her idol king included a $1500 deductible.
For days afterwards my tongue was sore from biting it. It was all I could do to prevent myself from saying, I told you so.
The Gibsmedats aren't used to that sort of unfair treatment. Usually they just show up, get treated, and leave without having to pay a cent - or even give their correct names.
Just imagine how upset they would be if they had to file income tax returns and send the IRS a check instead of getting a free one back!
Before Obamacare, people like this would simply go to the Emergency Room any time they needed healthcare, but would not pay the bill. Now that we have Obamacare, these same people go to the Emergency Room any time they need healthcare, but don't pay the bill.
