busterbrown's JournalSo, many around here feel we are now the bad guys...
The ACA is apparently leaving a small percentage of people out in the cold. These are people who are in the age group of 55-65 who don’t qualify for federal subsidies and are at the age when the Healthcare companies put the screws to them..Probably 600-800 for a reasonable plan with a S2500 deductible and reasonable Hospital Coverage.
Close to $10,000 a year. These people will definitely get hurt...But how many have been hurt before this plan was enacted.. Over 49,000 people dying each year because of finances and thousands upon thousands being thrown into financial ruins because medical bills surrounding huge unfortunate events..
You would think Obama could have done a better job putting this together? Republicans did everything they possibly could to destroy the ACA and to this day have not let up. Not only did they want to destroy the ACA but they wanted to destroy this Black Kenyan Socialist President who in their minds should not have been allowed to occupy the White House.
Our Healthcare system was a total disaster before the ACA was enacted. It was heading down a road that would have eventually put 45% of the American people( with the economy being ignored) in a hopeless situation which they could have never dug out from..
So now it seems that everything is Obama’s fault. He lied, he misinterpreted, he wasn’t informed it goes on and on
and on. Many here felt he should be held responsible because he seems insensitive to those who have fallen through the cracks. Almost as though he does’nt care about those who will left out in the cold.
That in my mind is complete bullshit. This thing was so freaking complicated that it had to be done on the run. And it was.. But this highly imperfect plan is only a beginning, but the alternatives were inevitably going to put the whole country at risk..
So quit your complaining and stop with crap that we do not care about those who will be hurt by the plan.. We do
but we’re on that road now and we better not stop and detour because that can and will end it all.
So yes, the ACA is imperfect and some will get hurt and we all must be deeply concerned about these people.However ,if our President didn’t stand up and fight like hell for the ACA and begin a process which will hopefully stabilize our healthcare system, in the manner in which our country is currently heading politically, there would probably be no movement on this issue for at least the next 20 years..
I’m so happy for the batkid and the support was fantastic
but wouldn’t it be nice if every kid straddled with a serious/terminal disease could have such an event and each parent who has such a child could receive this kind of attention and fun...
However, my real issue is that wouldn’t it be even nicer if our country had a healthcare system which would take the care out of the for profit conglomerates and put it in the people’s hands (govt.) so the parents would never have to worry about Caps, Co-pays, limits, or any other bullshit which is now presently imposed.. Their lives would probably be so much easier and would enable them to devote their complete attention to their child w/o worry about finances..
Anyway..

For all my Jewish Brothers who thought George W..
was supportive of the Israeli State... What do you think now.. A little confused?
You all should be ashamed for supporting this right wing war monger who now is publicly supporting a group trying to convert all Jews to the Christian Religion in order to prepare for the rapture.. They are freaking serious.

Are you as sick of the Rob Ford Story as I am?
My God, we have our hands full of lunatic right wing politicians who are probably crazier than Ford. At least he has an explanation for his insanity..
In my mind anyone who receives a good deal from ACA
should post their story on social media or just tell a neighbor/friend.
If they don’t and keep it to themselves.. They are nothing but selfish...
"The ACA has been a God Send to me, but I still can’t stand Obama”
Do you think there are people like that out there.
Now this a lie!.. A real freaking lie...Boehner
confronted by kids, lies straight on into their faces...
Now watch the MSM jump all over this...

AHA is fairing better than Mass. on first 30 day sign ups numbers
1 1/2% total sign ups as opposed to Mass. numbers of .03% L.O. Show tonight..
That should take some of the sting out... But need to address the issue of those who are being thrown off insurance plans who do not qualify for fed subsidizes.. Very small percentage but needs to be addressed.
My own take is that most of these people are young and will be extremely grateful when they get older and don’t have to deal with the freaking crooked HealthCare companies.. They need to hear and understand this..
ACA is going to be fixed soon!
I have never doubled down on a thread until now.. Posted this yesterday on Political topics.
From the Daily Kos:
written by a tech guy who knows what he is talking about..
Its long... but so freaking encouraging...Made me perk up when I read it..
Would be good if we kicked this around and up during the day.
It needs to be spread around..
