I'm still waiting for my company to get off it's ass and tell us what's going on with our health care plan.
I'm paying $80.00 a week now.I would like to know just how much more I'm going to have to ante up
thanks to ObamaCare.
Dream on. Even if Republicans get the presidency and both sides of Congress, they'll do nothing but make superficial changes to ACA.
Dream on. When 100+ million employees lose their HC insurance next year and see the high rates, deductibles and copays on the exchange, and the number of young healthy folks enrolling remains minuscule, as those being dumped into Medicaid continues to soar, the ACA house of cards will crash.
That seems very likely. Opposition to ACA, from the public, will be very real. The political will to do the right thing, among Republicans in DC, is what I'm questioning. I hope i'm wrong.
From what people have been saying so far I expect
to have to pay at least twice what I am paying weekly
and I'm sure there will be a deductible and prescriptions will no longer be covered.

Question:
Once obama is out of office, can this supposed obamacare be dumped?
If Republicans take back both houses in November next year, it could be dumped as soon as January of 2015. If they have enough votes, they could even completely override a presidential veto.
Aren't there a lot of democrats also unhappy with this obamacare? Personally, I think he just wanted it to pass because his name is attached to it.

Am I a bad person because this made me laugh?
Many in New Yorks professional and cultural elite have long supported President Obamas health care plan. But now, to their surprise, thousands of writers, opera singers, music teachers, photographers, doctors, lawyers and others are learning that their health insurance plans are being canceled and they may have to pay more to get comparable coverage, if they can find it.They are part of an unusual, informal health insurance system that has developed in New York, in which independent practitioners were able to get lower insurance rates through group plans, typically set up by their professional associations or chambers of commerce. That allowed them to avoid the sky-high rates in New Yorks individual insurance market, historically among the most expensive in the country. But under the Affordable Care Act, they will be treated as individuals, responsible for their own insurance policies. For many of them, that is likely to mean they will no longer have access to a wide network of doctors and a range of plans tailored to their needs. And many of them are finding that if they want to keep their premiums from rising, they will have to accept higher deductible and co-pay costs or inferior coverage.
I couldnt sleep because of it, said Barbara Meinwald, a solo practitioner lawyer in Manhattan.
Ms. Meinwald, 61, has been paying $10,000 a year for her insurance through the New York City Bar. A broker told her that a new temporary plan with fewer doctors would cost $5,000 more, after factoring in the cost of her medications.
Ms. Meinwald also looked on the states health insurance exchange. But she said she found that those plans did not have a good choice of doctors, and that it was hard to even find out who the doctors were, and which hospitals were covered. Its like youre blindfolded and youre told that you have to buy something, she said.
The people affected include not just writers, artists, doctors and the like, they said, but also independent tradespeople, like home builders or carpenters, who work on their own.

At least there are some fairy tail endings in all this.
What makes it even sweeter?...it doesnt affect me at all.
Not gonna happen. Libturds and obamamaniacs are convinced that the passing of time will vindicate their stupidity.
I don't see it lasting through next year without either being repealed, or severely altered. I also see serious investigations and maybe prosecutions of Sebelius, Obama and others over the massive fraud conspiracy they've committed on America.

More on the mother-in-law. (cancer)
Twice now she has went to the emergency room in the past week, and twice stayed overnight in the hospital due to chronic vomiting which of course makes her dehydrated.
This is due to her reaction to the chemo. They have given her medication for the stomach problems, but it is not enough.
IMPORTANT PART -> There is a much better medication that is made specifically for chemo induced severe acid reflux. It is not cheap. She needs to take two pills a day, Medicaid will only pay for one a day.
So in the evening/night she is ok. Every morning/eary afternoon she suffers terribly and vomits 2-3 times an hour. She needs two a day. Medicaid will not pay it.
I got an idea...let's expand Medicare/Medicaid.

medicaid pays for ondansetron which is now generic and it can be injected preventively as well.
change the hospital she goes to - it is more beneficial to drive further but end up in a teaching hospital which might admit her and tune the side effects care of the chemo ( it is common) - as teaching hospitals are dealing with medicaid all the time and sometimes have more possibilities as well.
she can also cut the pill you are talking about in 2 parts and take it in the morning and in the evening.
I was paying cash for my father for the needed medication when he needed it and insurance won't pay for it.
So if there are just few rounds of chemo left and you can buy the medication and pay cash for it - it is worth it.

I was in physical therapy yesterday, and I couldn't help overhearing this woman talking to someone in the next room. She was upset, she was crying. I listened closer (call me an ass, but it is human nature)..and I heard her say that she would have to stop coming to therapy in January. That she is losing her insurance and cannot afford to come anymore because the only insurance she can now afford will never pay for anything.
She was speaking of course of the outrageous $10,000 deductible and 40% copay.
She can't afford to go to the doctor next year.
And that....is Obamacare.
And take that liberals and shove it up your ass...you caused this. Because you wanted something for nothing...and instead got nothing for something.
I'm sure glad I have a "different" ObamaCare than the rw's do.
