Storm-walloped Floridians Bend/Grease Up!

[HenryBHough]

OK, so a lot of people in Florida had their homes damaged and lost their jobs but that wasn't punishment enough.

Hope. Now they get to pay up to $17,000/year for a family of four for their woefully inadequate, high-deductible Obamacare! That's, for some, 71% more than last year.

Where are the "Thank You ex--president Obama"? Or are there just none because nobody left in Florida can afford a sheet of cardboard, a stick, or even a felt-tip marker?

 

[Crixus]

Yeah I get to do Obamacare now. Man I hope I doesn’t suck.

There is no such thing as Obamacare. He gave us a choice, Insurancecare, or Welfarecare...

 

[Missourian]

I just have to go without. Either pay an exorbitant amount for something I likely won't need, or go without and hope nothing goes wrong.

Hell of a situation. The catastrophic care insurance I used to carry at a reasonable rate is no longer offered.

But, the silver lining is concierge doctor care for $60 a month takes care of all our preventive medical needs. Plus, there is no collection mechanism in place for the feds to collect the penalty..sorry guys, as long as I owe ya, you'll never really be broke.

Do you know what percentage of Floridians actually purchase insurance via the ACA exchanges?

Go ahead. Learn something.

I call BS on your catastrophic insurance .

Hey, should the real question be how much they pay in flood insurance? Cause they all seem to suck off FEMA every time a storm comes bye.

Catastrophic Health Plan - HealthCare.gov Glossary

"To qualify for a Catastrophic plan, you must be under 30 years old OR get a "hardship exemption" because the Marketplace determined that you’re unable to afford health coverage."

Hardship exemptions, forms, and how to apply

I'm over 30 and hardship exemptions are only for things like homelessness, bankruptcy, death in the family...etc.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

So, the GOP has had the Executive, the Senate, and the House since 20Jan17. And the governor of Florida is Rick Scott, a Republican. Republicans have a majority in both houses in the Florida legislative body. But you want to blame ex-President Obama for the current cost of health care in Florida? How much has the GOP done on a Federal level to fix the problem? Seems to me that what has been done by the GOP is exactly nothing. How about Rick Scott? Or the Florida legislature?

You mean you can have majorities at both the Federal and local level, and still blame the minority that nothing has been done? LOL

Well now, vote GOP and see the little that you still have go away. LOL God, I love to hear you GOP suckers whine because you got what you voted for.

 

[Old Rocks]

Having seen the total fuckup of the GOP and the treasonous fat senile old orange clown concerning health care, the Democrats should be ready with a universal single payer plan when the pendulum swings back their way. Since the GOP threatened to take away the little health care that the ACA supplies, people have come to realize that the ACA is a better deal than anything that the GOP offers. Time to give Americans as good a deal as all the other citizens in first world nations have.

I had insurance before Obamacare. Now I don't. Only one party to blame, and it ain't the GOP.

Trump is making headway...it won't be long before the requirements will be gutted and I can get my old, completely adequate insurance at a reasonable cost. Keep the concierge service coupled with catastrophic insurance, and continue eating healthy and exercising regularly.

If I was really forced to buy Obamacare, it would have cost the wife and I $20,000 over the last four years...we actually spent about $2,000, most of which was the two years of concierge service after our doctor increased his cash prices to insurance bloated prices.



Before Obamacare, a doctors office visit cost $50. After Obamacare, all the small doctors offices were forced to join the large local heathcare provider to have access to their billing department. The cost of an office visit just to get my wifes inhaler perscription written jumped to $180. With the concierge doctor service, we get office visits and very affordable preventive medical testing AND email, text and video appointments for things like prescription writing and such...much better service than we used to receive...and WITHOUT Obamacare.

If I wasn't self employed, the government would take at least a $700 penalty for nothing!

What a government mandated waste of my money that would have been. There is no way to convince me Obamacare is anything but an unmitigated failure. A huge government over-reach...one that liberals are only beginning to understand as Trump guts it one piece at a time.

Dumb ass.

The premium increases you speak of only effect 12.7% of Floridians ( % who buy insurance on the individual market ) and 90% of them get subsidies to make the cost manageable.

You. Don’t. Know. What. You. Are. Talking. About.

Looks like more Americans like the ACA than dislike it. And they will like full universal single payer healthcare even better.

Have to give credit to Trump and Republicans where it is due. In just 6 months they managed to do what Democrats could not do in 6 years - make Obamacare popular.
