Trouble Is Even Presently Insured Not On ACA Will Be SCREWED ROYALLY.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Employers will opt for cheaper insurance without the coverages if repeal passes. Why would they cover all those services when they would no longer have to. This bill screwed everyone everywhere in the nation. In essence there will be no affordable health care insurance for I believe 75% of the country once the GOP is done.

Then you have Medicare and the VA that the GOP will be after to put on the "free market".

1. Not many people are aware of this ramification

[democratisphere]

6. Doesn't matter how current healthcare is done; the whole damn healthcare system is in a crisis.

The idiots are not doing a thing to solve the real problems of healthcare which include outrageous prices and their continued escalation combined with inadequate funding to pay for it!

[Merlot]

7. All those people who have insurance through their employer

The ACA is also for people who are self employed, and for people who really want to quit their jobs except that they need insurance. People who were secure (and dare I say a little smug) in their employee health plans and thought voting for repubs wouldn't affect them.

oh well, welcome to the real world!

2. Two ways it will go for employer plans

1. They will completely drop coverage for employees.

2. They will offer plans, but you will end up paying the vast majority of the premium.


Either way, we all are screwed.

3. A very nasty surprise for the middle class.

4. Especially ones with children.

5. Absolutely

And they won't have a choice, really

8. Why aren't people aware of this

Why aren't the democrats yelling this from the rooftops. I daresay most people with employer plans are blissfully unaware.

9. That's why unions are so important

Our union threatened to strike last contract over health care, and won most of our demands.

10. The ACA extended my private corporate healthcare to allow my kids to be on until 26.

11. Yes -- and employers will be able to go back to policies that have annual and lifetime limits.

And the Medicare "trust" will be depleted years earlier because Obamacare included a tax on the wealthy that was directed to Medicare.

12. Good! The sooner these RW extremists show

people unmistakably where they intend to take us, ultimately the sooner people will throw them out of power and the fewer will have been hurt.

The conservative-created Great Depression was terrible, but:

1929 crash -- 1932 FDR elected -- 1933 beginning of 50 years of the liberal progressive era.
