Is a $5,000 deductible Obamacare policy fair to the poor?

[gallantwarrior]

Obama, et.al., could give a flying rats ass about the poor. The "poor" are useful idiots who will blindly follow his edicts, primarily because he's "just like them". Really?

Some conditions may apply to you, others may not

"I don't want pregnant women in my pool" is not an option

I never paid for it before, when I could shop for insurance and pick and choose my options it worked very well. Now, I pay higher rates because I'm in a pool and pay part of my taxes to help subsidize those in the pool that increase the costs.

You are free to buy any insurance on the open market that you please. Why don't you buy an individual policy?

Blocking women from an insurance pool because they may get pregnant is not in our countries best interests

ALL plans now include Maternity, it is one of the ten required coverages, even the single males plans covers it.

As it should be

Single women can't get pregnant without single males

You think they should pay less for coverage?

Your attention span is showing...policies have been dictated and there are certain things required to be covered. No one participating in the mandatory obamacare pools have any choice what conditions are covered. Oh, wait, you don't read the policy, you simply accept it because your messiah has told you to.

Diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy

God forbid you have to cover that

How much does a condom cost?

Been free by the handful at Planned Parenthood for decades.

You don't think low class, self-centered young studs use them do you?

Where's the personal responsibility part?

He who plays, should pay.

$5k vs $5 (not sure just a guess about pricing of a condom)

Condom use, or rather, the lack of condom use, has nothing to do with the price.

Self-centered bastards aren't taking a shower in a raincoat, and mindless silly little bitches can't see past the moment or say no.

Free? Now I know you're joking

True...

Please check the title of this thread.

I see what you did there, lol.

o hell it is more than that....if you figure out the premiums vs the deductible.....they are all the same....you either pay the high premium or you pay a high deductible...i am in debt to the high deductible but it beats no insurance at all...the plan i have is the basic bronze.....after a lot of research its the best plan with the 11 grand deductible for hubby and i....so it left me basically holding 11 grand in medical expenses....for last year....the one thing i do not think most people realize however is once i reach the 11 grand....i do not pay anymore...where the other plans all have high co payments even after the deductible is met...

the average bankruptcy is due to about 11 k in medical debt....i wonder how they figured that deductible...

 

[strollingbones]

yes i love the maternity coverage....i am 61 and the hubby had a vas years ago.....33 to be exact

All self-inflicted problems. Really, though, $5,000 is pretty steep for most middle class people, too. Don't you think?

Yup nobody should have to pay for something they'll never use.

 

[Greenbeard]

That is what we used to call "catastrophic coverage".

We can still call it that. Not sure what you're getting at--do you think the option to buy it should be taken away?

 

[HenryBHough]

Socialism has advanced to an extent that "universal" health care will be along before you know it.

And with it a litany of issues already confronted by other countries. But you'll get used to it. Or, if you have the resources, become a medical tourist. At the end of the day it will still be a two-tier system but it will be an official one.

 

[SwimExpert]

A $5000 deductable policy is not fair to anyone

That is why we need Universal Healthcare

So that's the whole fucking plan?! Force a piece of shit mandate that forces people to buy something they can't afford to buy, much less afford to use, so that you can use it as an excuse to force through universal health care!?! You're putting people into poverty so you can score a political victory!?!

My friend, a single mom, working as a bank teller can't even take her kids to the doctor now that the bank dumped them all onto Obamacare.

She tells me she struggles to pay the premium, and still can't see the doc.

I didn't ask what the premium is, will try to remember when I go to the bank today.

What kind of working class people can handle a $5,000 deductible.

That in itself is a catastrophe.

Mine, through the evil Blue Cross/Blue Shield is $300.

The (inevitable) move toward high-deductible insurance is the fairest thing that can happen to the poor. It's only thing that will make health care prices affordable again.
