Has Your Health Insurance Been Cancelled by Obama?

[Ben Kenobi]

To sum up: You're from a family so well-off that it's better off paying out of pocket for non-catastrophic health needs. Your daddy doesn't qualify for an HSA but can keep his current plan, and you "plan to" have your own insurance by age 23. Therefore, the ACA is evil.

Translation: "I'm a know-it-all rich college kid and I hate Obamacare." Frankly, we've heard this unceasingly from you the past several years and it has no actual relevance to the OP question.

So the fact that the plan has no effect on him makes his opinion on it bad, while the fact that you're a direct beneficiary does not? Yeah, no wonder you're shilling for Obamacare. Your point is also moot, because it doesn't address his point about healthy young people, not folks who are so sick as to be uninsurable.

Yeah, it's a good deal for all the sick people - but here's the problem. It's a terrible deal for the majority who are not sick. Also - forcing people to buy insurance that they do not want or need is wrong. And it doesn't offer coverage for all pre-existing conditions - as we see from the folks dropped because they are 'too expensive', or in my own case, where nothing covered is actually relevant. But, again, this is hardly surprising. I've had to pay out of pocket for a long time. That's one of the reasons I left Canada, because I figured if I was getting ****ed, I'd rather get ****ed in Texas.

No one cares what you think or how little compassion you have for sick people.

Right. I suppose it would be compassionate for me to send a check for my bills to JR every month?

I wonder why Slowwy or DD haven't posted any positive stories about people who are going to benefit from Affordable Care Act?

[Guynemer]

Most people are better off paying out of pocket for non-catastrophic health needs. In fact, that's what would be optimal for almost *everyone*.

I think he's serious, guys.

When I find someone I'll be sure and let you know.

[Dr Strangelove]

We got notification from Anthem they they were going to cancel our insurance, but it turns out they merely wanted more money.

[SlowwHand]

MrFun can't count you as a success story either. Wow, this is kind of like Diogenes of Sinope.

[Ben Kenobi]

Psst, Mr. Fun's got a master's in history. No fair confusing him.

How people with HIV or AIDS will benefit from ACA

[SlowwHand]

Don't give me rhetoric. Tell me when someone actually benefits. You're such a sheep.

Gosh. Top priority for Mr. Gay.

[MrFun]

Don't give me rhetoric. Tell me when someone actually benefits. You're such a sheep.

How are the facts that I shared just "rhetoric?"

Anyway, I am personally benefiting, so there you have one.

[Sava]

No sorry MRFUN. You haven't provided a single example of one person benefiting.

Like life preservers. Seriously. So useless. Show me one person who was helped by it. I've never met one. It's a big scam. You are such a sheep.
