ACA Continues 'Non-Collapse' - Obamacare insurer pulls out of rural Virginia leaving coverage gaps

[easyt65]

ACA imploding is not a bug, it is a feature.

Design Flaw

Actually it is not even a flaw. Reid came out months later and declared the ACA was 'DESIGNED TO FAIL', a 'stepping stone to Single payer'.

 

[Brain357]

It's truly mind-numbing how ignorant Gruber snowflakes continue to Justify Obama / Democrats ramming the ACA into law against majority citizen opposition, defend how it was / is such a 'great law', and continue to deny what a f*ing LIE / MESS it was / is while trying to push the blame for the whole thing off on the GOP.



Six Broken ObamaCare Promises: A Retrospective on the ACA's 6th Birthday


PROMISE 1: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period.”

The reality is that millions of Americans have lost and will lose their coverage due to Obamacare.


In 2013, Politifact rated this the number one lie of the year. Politifact found at least 37 instances when President Obama made this vow to the American public.

What the public found was millions of cancellations from insurers who could no longer offer popular health care plans because they did not meet the new requirements imposed by Obamacare. By that November, the president admitted this key talking point was false, saying: “I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurance they got from me.”




PROMISE 2: “I can make a firm pledge: under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase - not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." –President Obama, Sept. 12, 2008.

Not only did ObamaCare take $716 billion out of Medicare to help pay for the health law, it also created 18 new tax hikes to pull in $836.3 billion during the first 10 years. The new taxes hit Americans for $36.3 billion in 2013 alone.




PROMISE 3: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future.” – President Obama, Sept. 9, 2009.

Less than four years later, the Government Accountability Office announced ObamaCare would increase the federal deficit by $6.2 trillion over the next 75 years.




PROMISE 4: “You should know that once we have fully implemented, you’re going to be able to buy insurance through a pool so that you can get the same good rates as a group that if you’re an employee at a big company you can get right now -- which means your premiums will go down." --President Obama, July 16, 2012.

Not only did premiums go up, they have continued to rise. Some have risen 60, 80, 120%.




PROMISE 5: “Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” —President Obama, Sept. 9, 2009

A Government Accountability Office report shows that ObamaCare does, in fact, force taxpayers to foot the bill for abortion services. The Department of Health and Human Services simply ignores strict regulations and laws put in place to prohibit subsidization. According to the report, more than 1,000 Obamacare-sanctioned insurance plans fail to separate funding for abortion services from coverage as required by law.




PROMISE 6: “The implementation of this is fabulous.” — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, June 26, 2013

The launch of the ObamaCare insurance exchanges was a huge flop. Healthcare.gov only enrolled six Americans at the end of its first day and had massive online glitches that took months to address. And while the Obama administration claimed in 2014 that healthcare.gov costs were around $800 million, an analysis by Bloomberg Government shows the actual cost to taxpayers was double that at over $2 billion.

Most state exchanges fared little better; some did even worse. Oregon’s online enrollment system never worked. Fifteen months and $248 million after launch, the state finally pulled the plug.

We got ACA becaus healthcare was a mess. What repubs going to do?

It wasn't a mess but it sure as hell is now. Why is it always up to republicans to fix the stupid shit democrats do?

You don't live in reality? Costs were skyrocketing. People were filing bankrupcy from costs.

 

[RASTAMEN]

We were told for eight (8) years that the GOP had The Plan. We were mocked when we asked for details.

It seems the plan is to continue to whine about it.

Beats doing the hard work.
.

The GOP doesn't understand HARD WORK.

 

[Brain357]

The Republicans' decision not to repeal Obamacare has given them ownership of everything that's bad about it.

Bullshit. You wrote it and passed it and your favorite democrat McCain voted to keep it. You democrats own this. Forever.

Pre ACA we had skyrocketing costs with people going bankrupt trying to pay. Was shit before and shit after. Now where is the great healthcare trump promised?

Ask Merkowski, Collins, McCain and the rest of the democrats they're the ones that decided what you have now is great.

The proposed change sure wasn't popular.

Because it wasn't a repeal.

Repeal just brings us skyrocketing costs and bankruptcies. Think that is popular?

 

[Weatherman2020]

"Optima also said it would be raising premiums by 81 percent for any customer who doesn’t qualify for subsidies from the federal government."

 

[Brain357]

Was this thread really needed? Repubs have whined plenty about ACA already. We need affordable healthcare.

Obiecare is the skyrocketing. How does repealing it raise costs even more?

No, costs were skyrocketing long before ACA. You live under a rock?

The GOP DOES have a plan and implementation is under way....

How do you like it so far?

Then why did Democrats give us Hopeycare if we need affordable healthcare?

They already admitted they lied and laugh at you sheep for being so stupid and gullible.

Doesn't say much for Republicans that they couldn't come up with anything better, now does it?

Obama and the democrats built a submarine out of cardboard...there ain't no fixin' it...it will work for awhile but comes apart a little at a time until it implodes catastrophically.

7.5 years to go.

Democrats had a super majority and changed the rules to pass Hopeycare.
It is obvious they had zero intention of making healthcare affordable.

From 1999 to 2009, Kaiser found that the insurance premiums had climbed 131% or 13.1% per year, and workers’ contribution toward paying that premium jumped 128% or 12.8% per year. In 1999, workers’ average contribution to the premium was $1,543, and in 2009 it was $3,515. For employers, their contribution was $4,247 in 1999 and $9,860 in 2009.[5]
