6 years later and the knocks on the ACA are still fraught with lies.
The best is when a person who previously had no insurance or shitty insurance whines about high deductibles.
The only time you will ever pay a lot of your deductible is when you or a family member is really sick or injured. In which case....you'll have your economic health saved by having a quality insurance policy.
The reason we even have deductibles is because jackasses don't understand that profits and health care don't go together well.
Read this. Try to learn something.
Japanese Pay Less for More Health Care
One, if people didn't have insurance in the past, it's because they couldn't reasonably afford it, and is probably still the case with the tens of millions that still don't have it.
Two, this law gave employers the opportunity to drop coverage for their employees (which is what happened in my case) and now we have to buy insurance with after-tax money instead of it being a non-taxed benefit the way it was before.
Three, those of us who got cash instead of insurance had huge deductions taken out before it even hit your paycheck. The morons that wrote this law never gave employers the option of just giving you a separate check towards your insurance. All they could do is increase your wages. Before an employer can give you that increase, he has to deduct: matching your SS contributions, matching, your Medicare contributions, the increase in unemployment and workman's compensation insurance, your retirement plan if you have one.........
Then after all those deductions, the employer can pay you what's left towards your insurance, and then that gets taxed. It really ends up being nothing.
Four, Commie Care also increased your medical tax deductions to 10% whether you are using it or not. Even more windfall for Big Brother on top of keeping your income tax refund.
Five, it's an economy killer. Instead of that money going into circulation in our economy, it's now being sent to insurance companies instead. It greatly reduced residual income for those of us that got screwed by the plan. But what the hell........at least your french fry maker now has insurance!
Six, never vote Democrat unless you are a lowlife that is going to reap the benefits of their scams. If you work for a living, Democrat leadership is going to cost you one way or another.
