Fear not!
Trumpcare will be better, fantastic, with the best people running it. it’ll be huge!
Then why am I hearing of people going to get health care and are told that the doctor doesn’t take obamacare?
Most of the uninsured would be eligible for Medicaid.
A far better value than Obamacare Silver.
>>Earlier this year, a report from the University of Pennsylvania found all but the most heavily subsidized Obamacare enrollees would be better off financially if they skipped coverage and pay for their own medical care out of pocket.<<
Wanna bet 75+% of those people voted for obozo?
Me? *pphhtt* a few hundred bucks a year. Not fun but no big deal.
You idiots that voted for Dear One: think about it. Do you think obozocare even slightly affected pelosu, feinstein or even sanders? HAH!
Own it, suckers. Long and hard.
Bingo.
See XerioCare tag line.
The whole concept behind ObamaCare is idiotic:
Have the insured pay out of pocket for smaller expenses (in effect discouraging them), and only partially cover ‘catastrophic expenses’.
When I joined Kaiser years ago, they mentioned that their approach to cut costs was to emphasize regular checkups and catch medical problems BEFORE they developed, since after they became a major problem is was too expensive to solve them (or would be unable to, in which case you died). It made total sense to me.
So now, Obama care is: don’t brush your teeth, and we will pay (after a large deductible) only when you need a root canal, major oral surgery, or all your teeth pulled.
Same as discouraging some one from regular oil changes, and only paying for a portion of the engine replacement after it burns down. What a waste!
Makes no sense. Repeal it!!
Any takers?
I have a $4500/year premium that doesn’t pay a nickel until I am $3000 out of pocket.
Wall.
It will be better because people won't be dying in the streets! They will be dying in waiting rooms and at home.
I hear ya. Now my deductible is $5,000 and my premiums just about doubled.
To top it off, DS1 just flipped his truck and we just got him home from 3 days in the hospital and a 7-hour emergency surgery.
Afraid this is going to be a bumpy ride :-(
Wall what?
What does a wall have to do with anything?
Here’s what I could never understand. Why couldn’t there be a kind of catastrophic health care umbrella policy? For normal cuts and aliments, you pay out of your pocket. Maybe you decide you can live with out those stitches in your leg (hey, life is fraught with economic decisions). You get cancer, or or in a car wreck, your catastrophic policy kicks in. Take advantage of the marketplace.
Completely predictable. Most of the left thought that the problem with passing HillaryCare was that Hillary left the big insurance companies out of the discussion leading to her bill. In fact, the architect of Britain’s healthcare system said they passed theirs because they got the insurance companies on board.
The insurance companies were major contributors to ObamaCare. Why is anyone surprised that the insurance companies protected themselves at the expense of those it was supposed to help. The only reason the insurance companies are losing their shirts now is the fact that Rubio stopped their subsidies.
Husseinocare was designed to screw businesses and hence the economy
Everything Hussein has done is to screw America. Why would you expect Americ’s first Muslim President to do anything different?
Our amazing family doctor of 30+ years just quit practicing medicine. We were always so thankful to have him as our doctor. He would take the time (usually an hour each office visit) to discuss health issues with us. He kept complaining about the massive paperwork requirements that kept building over the last 7 years.
Now he is gone.
Thanks, obama. And the cowardly GOPe that enabled him.
When I heard Donald promise us "everything" I pretty much gave up on any hope of repealing Obamacare if he wins. At best His Donaldness is going to waltz into office thinking he can use government to fix problems. The real problem is that strategy is liking pounding nails in with dynamite.
I am assuming this post was not in jest? Such policies were commonplace before "OCARE", they probably still exist but, since they do not meet "THE MANDATE". you would pay an IRS penalty if you bought one today!!
