Umm. You left out the part about the subsidies available for those income levels. Nice try though.A family of 4 with an income under $62k per year or 400% of poverty will receive free insurance from the exchange on a sliding scale.
Health insurance in the exchanges is not free. If that family is at three or four hundred percent FPL, it needs to spend at least 9.5% of household income on premiums before any premium assistance tax credit kicks in. The sliding scale you refer to is the threshold (percentage of household income) that the household has to spend before getting any assistance. Everyone in the exchange will be paying something.
When Seniors discover Medicare is going to be slashed to the tune of $500 billion to pay for Obama care, they will be marching on Washington with pitchforks in hand.
HealthBeatBlog reiterates this week: Health Beat: You Heard It Here First: Medicare Spending Slows
And all without slashing benefits (I hope Paul Ryan is taking notes).
the goal of business is profit
A private company's business policies are a societal issue? Really? In socialist societies, maybe.
56 is not old....Shit I play ice hockey , softball and golf with guys older than 56..I just hit 50!...
Lace 'em up!
Society has ZERO to do with it.
The rub of the green is this: The democrats have turned the debate over health insurance into a debate on whether the government should create another social program.
Only a flaming lefty would label business as a societal issue. Please....

I agree.

No. Health care is a societal issue.
Health care in general might be. The conduct of specific businesses and business segments is not.
I find it interesting to the point of distraction how the Left has transposed the terms "health insurance" and "health care"..the goal of business is profit

Younger people don't always agree.

The issue is how people can get health care. Because they are humans, with bodies, and bodies need health care.

I'm not labeling business as a societal issue. I'm calling health care a societal issue.
Perfect example..I have yet to come across a doctor that did NOT cut prices for cash patients. It isn't a discount price, it's that so many people do not feel they have to pay at all. My gynocologist has a flat $50.00 fee for office visits. If pressed, I can split that into two payments.
I used to live in the South Carolina Low Country..
Our local paper ran a story on medical care and price.
Here's the short version.
An elderly couple arrives at the hospital. One spouse has chest pains. The patient is admitted immediately as the attending saw a potential emergency.
Meanwhile, the admitting nurse took the required info. The non patient forgot to mention what type of insurance. The Hospital handed them a bill for about $190....The spouse went back and told the admitting nurse that they were insured. A new bill was made.....For THREE TIMES the original bill!
Yeah.....Health care in general might be. The conduct of specific businesses and business segments is not.
Most of us get our health care by having health insurance. Otherwise, most of us would be impoverished by meeting some very ordinary crises.
There are some folks who don't have health insurance at work, or who have preexisting conditions, or who work and don't qualify for Medicaid.
So what are they supposed to do? Suck it up and die?

If they had medical insurance accounts with high deductible policies we would pretty much solve this issue. Of course obamacare has made those illegal.
another non sequitur...Since Newt Gingrich has a history of supporting the "individual mandate", maybe a President Gingrich would give us a "single-payer" system - like Medicare for all. Gooo Newt.
You lefties are really lost on this deal.
What's the matter. Your favorite lefty blog hasn't come up with a talking point for you to use in response ?

Republicans don't want any health care at all. Any is too much.

You do realize that a bald face lie. Hell some were for obamacare even before obama was for obamacare.
Yep but he needs to check with his handlers in order to make sure his talking points are some what believableRepublicans don't want any health care at all. Any is too much.

RDean gets his information from former Rep ALan Grayson.
It's easy to mistake the early signs and symptoms of meningitis for the flu (influenza).
Bacterial meningitis is serious, can come on very quickly and requires prompt antibiotic treatment to improve the chances of a recovery without serious complications. Delaying treatment for bacterial meningitis increases the risk of permanent brain damage or death. In addition, bacterial meningitis can prove fatal in a matter of days.
My point in posting the above, is to drive home how many of these type of people clog up emergency rooms, and create more work for the already overworked physicians.
