Obamacare Kicking In (And The People Like It So Far!!)

[Trajan]

Survey: Significant drop in uninsured young adults

The number of young adults without health insurance has dropped significantly, a new survey finds, thanks to a provision of President Barack Obama's health care law allowing them to stay on their parents' plans.

The new Gallup poll findings translate to about 1 million more young adults with health insurance.

.....coverage for young adults has proven to be a popular and relatively low-cost benefit that families were eager to sign up for in these days of prolonged school-to-work transitions.

.

I am sure tyhe lik,e iot 'so far'...like the guy who falls from a high rise, on the way day you can hear him...."so far....so good"..

No matter what's said, if Republicans capture House, Senate, & Whitehouse, they will not really repeal it. They will amend it. It will be to late to repeal it.

What do you mean to late? Republican's have their orders they better follow those orders repeal all of obamas liberal agenda. Thats their mandate thats what they will be sent to do. If they don't they will be replaced by someone who will do it.

They can call it a repeal, but in reality it will be a replacement. The replacement would have to include the following or some people that have insurance would loose coverage. Also these are provisions of the law that have always had strong support by the public. In addition, I would think Republicans would add tort reform.

Access to high risk pools for those that can not get insurance

Bar insurers from denying people coverage when they get sick and from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions.

Bars insurers from imposing lifetime caps on coverage.

Requires insurers to let people stay on their parents' policies until age 26.

Requires individual and small group market plans to spend 80 percent of premium dollars on medical services. Large group plans would have to spend at least 85 percent.

you can call it what ever you want to I call it gone

And what generalization was that?

Are you saying people don't like to get free shit?

That people who can't afford insurance are "pukes" or "lazy slobs".

The only thing that is lazy is coming to a conclusion like that.

And you are assuming they're what?

What do you call a 26 year old "adult" who still lives at home with mommy?

Struggling, like MANY people are. Staying at home in this day makes a lot of financial sense for many people.

And what exactly is the problem with parents letting children stay on their policy until 26? You would think that you would be happy that these people are at least insured and not uninsured, "mooching" and adding to the problem we have. You people argue just to argue, even when what you're arguing makes no sense whatsoever.

Should we raise the voting age since children are now considered to be 26 years of age?

 

[Skull Pilot]

So you hate your kids then? You hate saving cash?

Wow hating obama really means hating everything regardless huh.


Because.you know.what? You are all fucking liars if you sit here and say you wouldnt let your kids stay on your plan, save cash ( with the.economy so bad you know.), and make sure they are covered.

Go ahead lie and say you would deny your kids.

I don't have kids.

The so called survey is meaningless or did that point sail over your pointy head.

EVERYONE likes to get free shit. So of course a bunch of slacker college pukes or lazy slobs who don't have a job at age 25 and still live with mommy and daddy are going to say they like Obammy care because it gives them more of an excuse to slack off and not have to take care of themselves.

you dont get laid at all huh

Are you so puritan in your thoughts that you don't realize people can have sex and not have kids?

Call the fucking whaaambulance.

Maybe if they stopped sucking mommy's tit and turned off the fucking x box they could get a job or 2 or 3 and start taking care of themselves.

But that's right, no one should have to work more than one job right?

Interesting question. Perhaps voting privileges shouldn't be based on age.

For example, if you are 17 and in the military, you should certainly be allowed to vote.

But if you're a drop out playing video games while letting your parents support you?

That would be a meritocracy and that's not fair

Children shouldn't be allowed to vote or drink or buy a home or car or make a binding agreement.

You can be 70 years old and still be someones child. What is your point?

When I was in my early 20's, I was invincible. Insurance was for old folks, not me. There is no way I would waste my money on health insurance. I needed to save my money for a new car and a trip to Europe.

For parents this option really buys peace of mind, knowing if your kids get seriously ill, they will be able to afford medical care and you won't have to spend your life savings trying to provide it.

For insurance companies it's not that big a deal. This age group is basically very healthy. They are rarely diagnosed with the really serious diseases and they are less likely to go to the doctor with minor problems.

For tax payers it's a win, because when young people without insurance get injured or seriously ill, they often end up on Medicaid and we all pay the costs.

Look who is generalizing again. That's a nasty habit you got there.

Did you notice that none of the crying nut-jobs answered why exactly they are against 26 year olds being allowed to be insured on their parents plan. They don't know why they're upset, they just like to bitch and moan.

I agree. Some people just like to argue about anything. However, I think most people that oppose this, and I don't think there are many, do so on general principal. It's part of Obamacare which they hate, introduced by Obama, who they hate, and passed the Democrats who they hate.

DaGoose.....

I know you are smarter than that.
Lets be real here.......2 provisions kicked in FIRST....

Children under 26 years of age get to be on their parents plan FREE OF CHARGE
Pre Existing conditions are no longer acceptable reasons for denial

Anyone who believes it's actually "FREE OF CHARGE" just failed the intelligence test.

Gee...ya think anyone is going to say..."wow, those two provisions suck ass"

Do you think it was an accident for those two to kick in first and the "negative" provisions slated to kick in AFTER the 2012 election?

All the provisions are negative. The downside of those two will take a few years to become manifest, however. People will discover why it's a loser when all the insurance companies start going broke.

Not to mention that with the economy being as it is right now, more and more kids are staying home longer.
