What's not to understand? WHAT'S NOT TO UNDERSTAND?!
Were we not told that this law would lower healthcare costs because a lot of young and health people would be forced to pay into the system and thus lower healthcare costs for everyone?
How does that work when half of the people who have gained health insurance so far are receiving Medicaid? How does that work when a million people have already lost their insurance? How does that work when 3 million people are just being put back on their parent's plan?
What happened to your "Read the numbers! READ THEM! Then come back and post." And here I am after reading the numbers and making a counter argument and all you got is "Dude, no."
!!!
I get that you're ranting about something but I wonder what it really is? All the features that you're harping on are bi-partisan. I think that what you're trying to say is that in your gut you feel that it'll raise health care costs. Is that right? You just don't believe that it will end up working and that we'll all have to pay more for it without getting the desired results? Is that a clear understanding of your position?
Wow what a dumb bitch. Why do the people of California keep voting for this waste of skin?
"It's called affordable for a reason." Oh okay. So if they just pass a bill called "Eliminate unemployment problem" then I guess that means it'll eliminate the unemployment problem.
Holy shit! Why has no one ever though of this before? Maybe I should run for Congress.
See I've been listening. IMO it's too soon to answer those questions. We may even have an increase in rates offered on the exchange next year, maybe the year after too. The ACA is going to take time. The good news here is that it's proof positive that your President is not in fact a socialist dictator. If he were he'd just force everyone that doesn't have the right coverage into the exchange and back that up with confiscations, jail terms and general dictatorish hassles.
