More Obamacare fuckups

In my opinion, you are completely wrong. This doesn't affect the rich at all, they can pay for the healthcare they want. This specifically affects the middle and poor. The poor can get subsidized health insurance and the middle class gets to pay for it.

Did I write that the rich are going to have to pay the freight because I'm reading the post you quoted from me and I don't see it.

Mostly, i was just pissed because her pediatrician was the shit and doesn't accept MediCal so I had to find a new one.

And just wait till those 9.5 million more Americans find out that they also can't go to decent DR's because good Dr's generally don't wana deal with the shit the Government does. My Sister's pediatrician told her that out of her two practices (she has a separate one for medicaid for tax purposes) she would have to work 80 hours a day 7 days a week to break even on the medicaid one. The Government reimburses her less per patient then she pays her staff.


(The above evidence will be dismissed by WB, Back, Cwolff and likely Latrine. Then WB will post something opposite and say his is valid. This is standard procedure, do not be alarmed.)

It's not employer based insurance. It's the plan I chose through the ACA/CoveredCA that was comparable enough in co-pays and service to what was previously an employer health plan (That jumped from 487 to 1011 a month concurrently with the ACA becoming law). Except for the $1500 Deductible it's now $7500. So I got a $166 a month healthcare plan now through the ACA for Sharp that doesn't allow for my lazy, unemployed 4 month old daughter to be covered by it.

Why pay for a kid to be insured when the Dems want to insure them for free!!! (except then EVERYONE pays for it)

So it's an exchange plan that doesn't allow for dependents? Something sounds off. Is it because of some sort of means testing or something? Did your employer drop insurance coverage or did you lose/change jobs?

Did you read what you quoted? :/

Nope. Nothing on my end changed. The ACA passing meant more out of cost to my employer and we're a non-profit so it's not like we have a whole lot of money to begin with. So they had to lose our employer provided subsidy and then our Healthnet provider for the company brought their Family Plan costs up from $487 to $1011 which forced almost the entire company onto the ACA. And guess what? Almost every single person with kids is either paying through the nose for their kids to be on their private plans or the kids are on MediCal, which sucks.

Ya I read it. He previously had insurance through an employer. Doesn't now.

In the meantime, ACA passed because the # of poor voters >> the # of middle class voters. It was strictly a political gambit for votes, and not something done with the sustainability of the U.S. economy in mind.

Well Ninjas they set a goal for Obamacare to get X number of people enrolled through the website so they had to force people out of their employer plan to meet this goal.

Because his premiums more than doubled because of Obamacare.
