Obamacare/Trumpcare Horror Stories

Thanks, I will be ok, I am thankful I have time to look and figure things out.  Could be way worse.

I'm sure the government will have an opening for you once they completely take over the system. Just think of the lax work schedule and the bennies you'll have. We'll be sitting at work bitching about the Angels while you and your family will be sipping cocktails in the caribbean on the taxpayer's dime.

This recent news of United, Humana and Aetna significantly lowering their Obamacare footprint is very bad for me.

I feel your pain. I have watched my business slowly go downhill since day one of ObamaCare, and this is not going to help.

For this reason alone, Trump has been getting my vote from day one. It is the most important issue to me, so he can insult whoever the F he wants, as long as he follows thru with his promise to repeal ObamaCare.

I hope there still is an ObamaCare left for him to replace.

Brace Yourself: How You Will Pay To Rescue ObamaCare

 

probably reason #1 I won't vote for Shillary.

Either it can scrap the idea that everyone needs to buy insurance. That seems entirely unlikely especially in the case of Hillary Clinton winning the White House.

Dear God, who wrote that pile of garbage?  I get some of the points he is getting at but it reads like it was written by a four year old.

He still needs to be able to see over the cash register to ask if they want fries with that.

Massive Obamacare rate increases are a good thing, White House says

It looks like the administration is taking steps to head off the coming disaster. They're issuing new regulations, and if you look at #3, I'm reading it as requiring companies to share the burden of very sick, high-cost enrollees. Can they do that? I would think Congress needs to weigh in on that.

Well, that's one way to get rid of all issuers of Obamacare.  Hey you all have to share in the losses.  Or you just drop out of Obamacare, so you are no longer an issuer.

These are mostly good changes.  In all the report was 300 pages so everyone is still absorbing it.

FIFY

But yeah, there is a huge problem with how much doctors and hospitals are allowed to charge.

Think about it, there is a huge governing body in charge of approving and regulating insurance rates but nothing at all for RX and Doctors/Hospitals.

Cambodia is sketchy but Thailand has very good hospitals and medical care.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Why the hell don't people go on vacations and pay $100 for crap like that instead of paying 5k here more often? I'm pretty much certain that's what i'd do.

Not much different here.  Best care is in the big cities.
