Anyone on this thread that is speaking ill of the law is lying, trying to spin, or just spewing partisan slander.
i remember not long ago, "If you like your present plan, you can keep it." Not sure what he meant by that. Guess it was a lie or just smoke and mirrors, because he sure didn't say that we could afford it.
Somebody has to pay for those who cannot afford health insurance,
I think your job and your family's relationship to health care makes your opinions on health care costs an expenses too biased
What exactly is the definition of someone who cannot afford health insurance?
For the record, my education on healthcare comes from reading legislation (really, as a policy analyst perspective not "news" sites), family members in healthcare including two physicians, a RN, an administrator, an assisted living director, a best friend in oncological surgery residency and as a consumer. I'd love more quality resources, though, if anyone of good report has some recommendations.
I suggest that if the Government wants everybody in the US to be covered by health insurance, then they should pay for it they have plenty of it, they just need to stop sending $$ Billions to Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries to try to buy their friendship.
Why are we borrowing money from China and then giving money to other countries while the US government has so many financial issues that there are constant cut-backs in government services and obligations to our own citizens?
As another example of how out of control our system is I just received the bill for my back brace. The initial bill from my neurosurgeon's office to the insurance company was $1,120. That was negotiated down to $956 of which I am responsible for $191. All for a bit of nylon, velcro and plastic. It's a nice brace but $1,120? Seriously?
BTW, the same brace is available on Amazon for $302.99.
Our healthcare system surely needs a lot of reform, but ObamaCare does not address what needs to be done to clean up this mess. It only requires everyone to have Health Insurance whether they can afford it or not, and requires employers to provide some sort of healthcare plan for all employees??
