Millions across the country will discover just how much their plans will cost when open enrollment for Affordable Care Act insurance plans begins on Nov. 1.
It’s not called Obamacare, it’s called the affordable care act and every time a media outlet does this it hurts the program that helps millions of people.
Obama care and aca is the same thing. Maybe it confuses people but how does calling it Obama care make it sound bad? For me Obama care sounds like a compliment to Obama, like he tried to do something good even though it was gutted by Republicans. That $500-1000 fine for not having insurance really pissed me off though. I worked overtime to make 30k annually and wasn’t offered health care but also did not qualify for affordable insurance
Do you have any idea how ‘Obama care’ started? Because it wasn’t his idea, it was Romney-care first. Kicker here is that Romney-care was spawned by the Heritage Foundation. The ones responsible for Project 2025.
I didn’t know that. I don’t remember specifics anymore, I remember the aca was revised over and over before it was approved. Should have been called the pos act
Ya the penalty was such a slap in the face. Health tax for being healthy. Helped to pay for these fat MAGAs who probably would have succumbed to diabetes by now.
No, it was meant to feed the fund like safe drivers do for liability insurance. Leaving only sick/older adults in (like only bad drivers) means that pay outs for claims would have to drain the fund. But you go on thinking you’ll be healthy for the rest of your life.
Remember when Obama wore a tan suit and Republicans were ready to burn the white house down? That’s why. For a minority of Americans they think Obama was the anti-Christ. That’s why.
Leave aside how flawed the bill was, but call it what is is: the affordable care act.
helps people to purchase insurance with subsidies but does not help citizens have healthcare
minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25 and any healthcare solution involving subsidies that go directly to megacorps that are actually causing the healthcare crisis while still requiring massive payouts from citizens just to have healthcare does not help at all
democrat mindset of less bad=good enough is not sufficient to tackle the healthcare needs of any country
throwing some Febreze on a pile of shit definitely does not help agree but at the end of the day no matter what do or don’t do still a pile of horseshit and bad for you
I feel like my health care situation hasn’t changed in 20 years. It keeps getting more expensive and the care is worse. So idk I’m ok with “fuck you die in the streets” that was also their message from the War on Drugs. They are a consistent party.
The Affordable Care Act “enrolleee sees premium spike over 300% as sign-up period begins: ‘This will devastate us.’”
-You’re right, that does sound nicer
/s
I’ve used the program for both market insurance and medicaid and beside the expanded medicaid I consider the program a failure from inception. -Insurance doesn’t have to pay if they refuse to acknowledge a person’s claims which renders all other benefits a moot point.
Expanded medicaid was the point, we were supposed to have single-payer and mandated insurance with ACA, and then Republicans stripped those out, which hobbled the program and took away the main advantages. It’s worth revisiting this because this is how 32/33 of the most developed nations on earth do it, surely there’s something worth salvaging and trying again on.
Quick edit just to add, during the first year of ACA, I had to get it due to the mandate even tho I was healthy and young. My lung spontaneously collapsed that year, and I had to have $330,000 worth of surgeries. I paid $19 for a medication that was optional, otherwise I saw no bill. The program can work.

You draw whatever conclusions you want from that.

The social contract means something.
Your ignoring how it is for profit by private insurance companies.

The Nazi party uses Obamacare as a boogeyman scare tactic fueled by racism and a desire to split the population more.
Its better to remind anyone using Obamacare that it in fact, Romney Care.
That’s the point.

Amen.
How do you feel about the Republican’s healthcare offerings and solutions of “fuck you die in the streets?”
I feel like my health care situation hasn’t changed in 20 years. It keeps getting more expensive and the care is worse. So idk I’m ok with “fuck you die in the streets” that was also their message from the War on Drugs. They are a consistent party.
Do you always let the Republican’s define your stabdard of living?
I asked someone else’s opinion of something to gauge their views
Not sure why you decided to take a trip into fantasy play land, but have fun
What a strange and off-topic retort.
I was thinking the same, weirdo
Wait, I was told everything, even including Faux News, was the "liberal media, though…

This is how it was supposed to be.
when the democrats had control of the house and senate? -That’s akin to the current repubs blaming the democrats for the shutdown.
-Also if it’s really about expanded medicaid then it’s not particularly related to the post. Medicaid premiums I highly doubt are going up 300%
Nor are the VA costs. Turns out the government is very good at negotiating its own costs and passing them along to the taxpayers
