This thread is THE place to come if you are a "conservative" who has written or copied some bogus information regarding the costs, coverage, deductibles and max out of pocket amounts of insurance plans that are available on the ACA exchanges.........and have since learned that they were mistaken, misinformed or otherwise ideologically bound to post bullshit.
You know...premiums going from $3500 to $13000 per year.....or deductibles ranging from $13000 to $30000. You know who you are!
Cleanse your souls, people. You will feel great!
please provide the link to any one who made those claims you have stated im calling you out
im more incline to believe you added to many zeros to you hyperbole claim
Dear LoneLaughter and TRF: It doesn't take that much to make the point.
Some people ALREADY can't afford insurance if it doubles/triples from the 100-200's
to 300-500's a month. They are already out of the loop.
I heard on the radio from a caller who lost her "high risk" insurance plan days before
going into bone marrow surgery which is time sensitive. She did not have time to go through the ACA website.
So she paid for this herself. And will try to get some coverage back before any other procedures.
So LL if you are going to make people pay for their own health care anyway,
why not make that an EQUAL CHOICE? Why penalize them for that?

But some Americans are reporting sticker shock about the new plans their insurers are offering.
Kevin DeLashmutt, 53, who is self-employed in real estate in Seattle, Washington, said that over the summer he received a letter from his insurance company saying the plan he now has is no longer available.
The cheapest plan he could buy would cost $411, about twice his current premium, while the plan most like the one he has would cost about 150 percent more - $542.59.
"You used to be able to choose what to get based on what you need and what you can afford, including a high deductible," DeLashmutt said. "Let me manage my own risk. Those people in Washington, D.C., shouldn't get to make that decision for me."
It's that simple.
