Pie Chart: Total US Healthcare Coverage as of March 2016 (Vast majority of US NOT on Obamacare)

MediAd Public Broadcasting ^

[AmusedBystander]

Yes, you are covered by Obamacare even in employer provided plans. Obama destroyed employee provided plans and we are left with only high deductible plans at much higher rates. The only decrease in "uninsured" were from those placed in Medicaid, which we taxpayers have to pay for.

And one of the worst things is that those on Medicaid can go to the doctor whenever they want for pennies while those of us on high deductible plans can not afford to do so and we pay for both plans to boot.

[wrench]

While few are officially covered by 0bamacare, ALL Americans, especially working Americans have been adversely affected via much higher premiums, higher deductibles, and loss of choice in coverage and doctors.

If your Pi chart showed adverse economic impact, the Teds would show no adverse economic impact, whole the Greens would show the most.

Junk the whole thing and go totally free market.

Teds = Reds

The number of illegals may be over thirty million, most of them Mexicans.

Robert A. Cook, P.E. cited an important dissection of the pie chart into ONLY 2 groups with coverage MANDATED by ACA. I believe that these 2 groups could be further described as:

1. Tax-Payers: 117 million working - covered by private or employer plans

2. Tax-Consumers: 193 million on government-paid “plans”

Note:
1. Tax-Consumers significantly outnumber Tax-Payers. Parasites WILL eventually kill the HOST!
2. The only problem with Socialized Medicine (the 1st step into Nationalized economy / Socialism by Stalin & Hitler & attempted by Hillary Clinton in 1993) is eventually you run out of other people’s money!

[xzins]

They only impact minimum coverage rules They established that all plans must provide certain tthings whether you need them or not.

They aren’t paid and employers don’t go through the exchanges. That was the point of the little sisters of the poor lawsuit

[xzins]

My sens is that employer, medicare, and tricare all paid for their plans with their labor or their contributions. Not their fault if the govt invested it poorly.

[novemberslady]

I am self employed.
I have not had any health insurance for the last eight years.

I will not sign up for Obamacare-lite

Pual Ryan is rat bastard, and so are his buddies.

[xzins]

You were not covered before obamacare?

[novemberslady]

no

Have you looked at the Christian coverage share groups? I’ve always been curious about them.

[novemberslady]

no I haven’t

[ROCKLOBSTER]

That means we are not arguing, for the most part, over our OWN health care.

Well it certainly does, as regards artificial and outrageous premium hikes.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

would probably NOT be on any plan put out by the GOP.

If it meant lower premiums and buying across state lines...damn right I would.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Christian coverage share groups

You should check it out. It's really not good to leave yourself exposed like that.

"Medishare" is one such group, for Christians. It's probably around $100 mo.

[al_c]

1. RED: Note that there are ALREADY 29 million who are not covered. They are going nuclear in the news today about 14 million uncovered, but the stats say 29 million are uncovered right now. EVER hear them talked about...except the 11 million illegals?

That begs the question ... are they saying that 14 million on top of the already 29 million not covered would lose their coverage?

[novemberslady]

Thanks to both of you for the suggestion
