Obamacare is one of the biggest examples of false advertising in history. In 2010, Democrats passed the “Affordable Care Act.” But in 2024, CBS News reported, “Americans spend more on health care than any other nation. Yet almost half can’t afford care.”

Mine is $500 a month w/ $12K deductible (catastrophic care policy), and I have zero medical issues and never have. I don’t know what to do. I can’t afford this.

Kind of explains how Osama and all his cronies can afford to buy and build all those mansions.

There should be NO Exemptions of any kind for anyone and every Public Employee in America should be enrolled in Obamacare, then it will work.

What's sadly ironic is that the bill was originally called the PPACA, but nobody ever talks about the "Patient Protection" part of the Affordable Care Act.

AHort and simple way to show people that the gov is completely and utterly incapable of being successful at doing anything other than stealing your money or bombing countries we shouldn’t be getting involved in is to simply try and use their new, improved and approved gas cans.
Sorry, you can’t make a better gas can you are incapable of doing anything more complicated PERIOD!

Medical insurance is so high that it is causing people to live less healthy lives (poorer quality food, using less AC/Heating during temperature extremes, spending more time depressed and/or anxious) that even if the care were better, there are more symptoms and ailments to treat.

Mine is $800 a month and $15,000 deductible. Granted, that was a Cobra quote. I figured I’d do just as well putting that money in a savings account just for medical costs.

Don’t forget, traitor McCain cast the deciding vote in the Senate against legislation that would have killed 0bama Care.

No, we shouldn’t need to pass it to see what was in it. Something stated that way is nothing but fake insurance; a sucker policy. That’s like paying $40000 for a brand new used car that is a wreck. There is a saying for those schemes...”Buyer Beware”. It’s hard to believe anyone fell for Obamacare, but I guess under certain circumstances it sounded attractive.

ACA also allowed competition to die by giving insurance companies the opportunity to buy hospital networks, which bought up other networks (our local hospital has been bought three times since 2012), which bought up doctors’ practices. The newly-formed networks owned by insurance companies are forced to accept only certain insurance plans and not others, to further eliminate competition not only among hospitals, but insurance companies as well.

It’s the biggest reason why it’s so messed up; competition is gone.

I remember Obama in his usual mocking tone right after he signed the legislation saying something to the effect of, “see, the world didn’t end!”

Well, no $#1t, Sherlock. The legislation didn’t instantly eff things up. Just give it time. And here we are.
