In the wake of the potential repeal of Obamacare, South Florida residents who are dependent on the law are considering, what they are calling, the potential devastating effects of repealing the law.
People who own local clinics where Obamacare is the norm are watching President-elect Trump very closely. Two thousand patients at one Wynwood clinic have Obamacare, and they are worried about what happens next....
Absolute hit piece. Never recall a special investigation being done talking to the people who lost their doctors and their plans.
Oh that is right, the left doesn't care. He doesn't vote the way they want him too, so "Can't Make an Omelet with breaking some eggs" thing.
I shouldn't be surprised, these people are the heirs of those who explained away The Ukrainian Starvation, what is loss of good Health Coverage of Millions of Americans because of their schemes to them?
And these people did what for 20 years before Obamacare. It’s called Medicaid.
Whether or not those wards of the state recognize that they should feel emasculated by being dependent on welfare, they should be grateful for being freed from a condition of dependency.
My premium went from $20 a month to $100 a month and deductible went from $1500 to $6500....and that was without a Prescription plan.
Just warming up the presses for hit piece after hit piece featuring all the people who will lose their freebies. I sure hope Trump can get ahead of them.
Obamacare — its “too big to fail”!!!
I really like Trump yesterday explaining that it’s such a disaster that he could just wait it out and have it totally implode in 2017. People would be losing huge money. People would be begging him to repeal it. But he’s not going to just watch it hurt people. Trump is going to step up and put something better in place. He’s not going to wait.
A lot of the people who have Obamacare are responsible citizens who are buying insurance for themselves without any subsidy.
Where is the story about my widowed friend Theresa, who saw her deductible go to $11,000, her monthly premium go to $1100, and now can’t afford health insurance for her and her 15 year old son?
Where is the story about my friend Debbie, a home care nurse who simply can’t afford Obamacare, so she just goes without and pays the fine?
As for what that “something better” is, he’ll let congress figure that out. He’s giving them 18 days. Sounds reasonable.
Obamacare-damaged people outnumber Obamacare-dependent people at least 10-1, so...oh, what? They are middle class whites? OK...then never mind. :)
I still don’t understand the money-flow of Obamacare.
People who have been paying for their insurance got screwed.
People who got “price support” used to use Medicaid or go to the emergency room. How is this different, except that the price support now comes from increased premiums on the struggling middle class rather than from state funds?
ObamaCare did one thing - it made medical care more expensive and actually decreased access for millions more than it “helped”. (I guess that’s really two things....).
No, I think you understand it perfectly.
You mean a return to those devastating dark ages before Obamacare, way, way back in 2011? Those days when the sick wandered the streets like zombies and bodies piled up in the gutters and doctors still used leeches and bloodletting because Obamacare hadn't yet lifted us into the light? /s
What did the ACA have to do with this? Most companies stopped providing retiree health insurance long before Obama.
Stats?
I'm sure the homeless will be back soon after being out of the news for 8 years.
Then they should be THRILLED to see it repealed, since the bulk of the program has been a big wealth redistribution of wealth.
