Will Obamacare get its act together in time?

[MrFun]

Wouldn't it have been nice to put through a reasonable bill rather than the ramrodded piece of **** we got?

It's the result of having to compromise with the opposition.

[MrFun]

Well we are nearing the deadline when the people who lost insurance due to Obamacare are due to be punished by Obamacare. I'm placing my bets on them not being able to fix the Federal exchanges in time.

If they live in the right state, they will be able to go to their state's own health care exchange website.

Of course, if you live in any other state, your governor and congresspersons have screwed you over.

Of course. It's not like the Feds had 3 years and millions of dollars with which to set this up, right?

Like Vermont, right?

Cause you're awesome, even if you say stupid ****.

MrFun, you are almost as intelligent as my pet guinea pig. And he died about 3 years ago. He also ate his own **** and pissed in his food bowl.

1. You don't need to be this mean, you ****ing obnoxious *******.

2. I'm sorry about your pet guinea pig.

a ****ty $50 policy with a $6000 deductible that basically offers no purpose other than to prevent them from having to go into bankruptcy if they get seriously sick

Insurance, in other words.

Obamacare basically forces everyone to purchase an expensive pre-paid health plan in order to subsidize the medical expenses of the old and the sick. Health "insurance" in any real sense is now effectively banned.

[regexcellent]

Yeah uh for everything else, if your insurance covers it, you are basically just paying for your healthcare through a middle man. Your yearly doctor's checkup is not a risk and therefore 100% of what the insurance company pays for it is coming out of your premium and yours alone.

Thank goodness people like kentonio are around to take people's insurance away from them.

I’ve been skeptical about media stories featuring those who claimed they would be worse off because their insurance policies were being canceled on account of the ACA. In many cases, it turns out, the consumers could have found cheaper coverage through the new health insurance marketplaces, or their plans weren’t very good to begin with. Some didn’t know they could qualify for subsidies that would lower their insurance premiums.

So I tried to find flaws in what Hammack told me. I couldn’t find any.

• The couple’s existing Kaiser plan was a good one.
• Their new options were indeed more expensive, and the benefits didn’t seem any better.
• They do not qualify for premium subsidies because they make more than four times the federal poverty level, though Hammack says not by much.

...

I asked Hammack to send me details of his current plan. It carried a $4,000 deductible per person, a $40 copay for doctor visits, a $150 emergency room visit fee and 30 percent coinsurance for hospital stays after the deductible. The out-of-pocket maximum was $5,600.

This plan was ending, Kaiser’s letters told them, because it did not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. “Everything is taken care of,” the letters said. “There’s nothing you need to do.”

The letters said the couple would be enrolled in new Kaiser plans that would cost nearly $1,300 a month for the two of them (more than $15,000 a year).

And for that higher amount, what would they get? A higher deductible ($4,500), a higher out-of-pocket maximum ($6,350), higher hospital costs (40 percent of the cost) and possibly higher costs for doctor visits and drugs.

I don't get it.

You just dropped a couple spots in my Poly knowledge rankings.

Thanks Obama

I get that it's making fun of somebody who blames everything on Obama; and I get that it's done in the style of an infomercial; but why is the woman cramming a banana into a beer bottle?
