Obamacare still going strong and rates are dropping another 1.5%!

Trump might not mind if people starting calling Obamacare Trumpcare, because the controversial health program signed into law in 2010 is finally stabilizing.

Obamacare has been very good to me. I had 70,000 dollars worth of surgery last fall and I only paid 5000 out of pocket.

This is because the insurance scam is scared shitless of Democrats and their rhetoric now. Trump has done everything in his power to cause a raise in premiums.

Obama Care is fine. Time for a public option that supplements whatever private insurance ass fucking rightards want to buy.

Makes no sense. Why do poor people need healthcare when they already have it for free?

I'm talking about the middle class. I'm talking about the fleecing of the American people.

Including dumb asses that vote Republican the more Republicans fuck them.

America was "fleeced" when the ACA was implemented against our will by a bunch of ill bottom-feeding Democrats. If the ACA is so good, why doesn't congress use it as their medical plan?

What are the deductibles this year?

What are the out-of-pocket caps this year?

Rates are only a small part of the costs involved.

More political bullshit of Ds and Rs. Debate the issues, use your brains, think for yourselves.

Here is the link the article touts as evidence of price drops:
https://www.cms.gov/sites/drupal/files/2018-10/10-11-18%20Average%20Monthly%20Premiums%20for%20SLCSP%20and%20LCP%202016-2019_0.pdf

Does that look like price stabilization? It does not to me.

Some rates are decreasing because states are backstopping the insurance companies
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2018/07/29/scott-walker-gets-ok-200-million-plan-lower-obamacare-costs/859014002/

Monopolies are a cost driver.

https://khn.org/news/government-protected-monopolies-drive-drug-prices-higher-study-says/or

Single payer will exacerbate, not solve, this problem. It will result in lower quality, fewer choices, less innovation. Politicians will keep their grubby hands in the pie, demanding stupid costly stuff like everyone needs this new inoculation somebody's cousin invented, while saying many life-saving scans for brain injuries are unnecessary.

Oh, wait, that already happened.

I think government should fund free clinics for the poor and have government subsidized private insurance cover only major, non-routine care.

The government should not completely take over 20% of the economy for crying out loud.

gerrymanderer2 (OP) posts several lies on ffu daily - many\.10think he's a fx co gov worker who is getting paid to do it for false DNC democrat "advertising". he floods ffu with useless posts to bump down major news, posts fecal matter, mutilated bodies, child porn, foreign drug ads and sneaker ads, tells people to kill themselves and government should seize them and put them on psych pills in prison - decided by democrat gov of course, promotes kangaroo courthouse trials, gives anti-religious rants, gives satanic ritual rants, posts black males with large dicks on white young females, portends white low birth rate and fall of USA, and anything possible to DEMORALIZE white people on ffu. (perhaps a chinese prisoner or isis member - but definitely knowledgeable of fx co gov from the inside at times). the website operator has told him "not to post or return" which are still posted - not removed, by the sysop: not because of a political leaning but for continual illegal and gross spam along with messages that are only to demoralize if not kill others.

OBAMACARE was the 21st Healthcare bill that provides Congress with free healthcare insurance and regulates heath insurance and welfare / emergency care (which btw George Bush started*, not Obama).

it had ZERO to do with obama, and obama didn't put a dime into paying for it from his camp



* under Bush, hospitals could not turn away emergency care of personals with gross injuries or near death for lack of being able to pay. Bush should have been awarded a peace award for it. obama was awarded a peace award - but no one knows why yet except that corrupt democrats are in control of the peace award bond payouts. no excuse for obama winning has ever been given or proved.

If you need $70,000 worth of surgery, you aren’t long on this earth above ground.

70k in medical expense is pretty cheap. The surgery must have been fairly minor. The average hospital stay in the US is $3,949 a day.
