How can you regret a choice that was MADE FOR YOU?

You mean the choice that he and his fellow CEOs had a major part in crafting? And that doubled USHealthcare's profits quarter over quarter?

Well it sure isn't a winner for we taxpayers.

The CEO of United Healthcare only cares if you're a shareholder.

So are you actually being taxed more, or are you just reciting the usual talking points?

Nope not taxed more but I'm paying 30% more for my benefits. All because of the ACA. The only winners in the ACA are those the rest of us will paying for with our tax dollars.

Okay, then, let's talk about your real issue. May I assume that your employer covered your health insurance in the past?

My issue is very simple.

I see no reason for my hard earned dollars to bankroll those that can't take care of themselves.

end of story.

So you have no interest in options that might lower your premiums.

Fair enough.

If you change your mind, let me know.

UnitedHealth, the country’s largest insurer, announced last month that it would no longer advertise its ObamaCare plans over the next year and may pull out completely in 2016 — a move that sent shockwaves across the healthcare industry.

*********************

I don't think we let this story die.

This is just what was predicted.

I don't see the GOP leadership waving this as they should.

They are as corrupt as the rest of the morons on Snob Hill.

The symbol of the GOP should be the capon, not the elephant.

And...a reminder that before the Democrat onslaught and manipulation of the media....almost everyone was happy with their healthcare.

"When we started this health care debate a year ago, 85 percent of the American people had health insurance, and 95 percent of the 85 percent were happy with it."
—George Willon Sunday, February 21st, 2010 in a roundtable segment on ABC's This Week"
Will says that 95 percent of people with health insurance are satisfied with it PolitiFact



Here's what we found, poll by poll, in reverse chronological order:

•Quinnipiac University, Sept. 2009. "How satisfied are you with your health insurance plan?" 54 percent very satisfied, 34 percent somewhat.Total: 88 percent satisfaction.

•Quinnipiac University, June 2009. "How satisfied are you with your health insurance plan?" 49 percent very satisfied, 36 somewhat satisfied.Total: 85 percent satisfaction.

•ABC News/Washington Post, June 2009. "For each specific item I name, please tell me whether you are very satisfied with it, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. ... Your health insurance coverage." 42 percent very satisfied, 39 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 81 percent satisfaction.

•Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, May 2009. "Overall, how satisfied are you with your current health insurance plan?" 21 percent extremely satisfied, 37 percent very satisfied, 30 percent somewhat satisfied.Total: 88 percent satisfaction.

•ABC News/Washington Post, June 2009. "For each specific item I name, please tell me whether you are very satisfied with it, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. ... Your health insurance coverage." 42 percent very satisfied, 39 percent somewhat satisfied.Total: 81 percent satisfaction.

•Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, Aug. 2008. "Please rate your satisfaction with each of the following aspects of your health care. ... Quality of health care I receive through my (health insurance) plan." 31 percent extremely satisfied, 41 percent very satisfied, 23 somewhat satisfied.Total: 95 percent satisfaction.

•Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, Aug. 2008. "Please rate your satisfaction with each of the following aspects of your health care. ... Overall satisfaction with my health (insurance) care plan." 23 percent extremely satisfied, 38 percent very satisfied, 30 percent somewhat satisfied.Total: 91 percent satisfaction.

•Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, May 2008. "Overall, how satisfied are you with your current health insurance plan?" 17 percent extremely satisfied, 36 percent very satisfied, 33 percent somewhat satisfied.Total: 86 percent satisfaction.

If you average these eight scores, the total rate of satisfaction is 87 percent. In all but one poll, the satisfaction level was below Will's stated level of 95 percent.

One poll, taken five months before Obama was inaugurated, did come up with 95 percent satisfaction. But alone among these eight polls, that survey asked participants about the "quality of health care I receive through my (health insurance) plan." While we decided that the wording was close enough to merit inclusion on our list, the modest difference in satisfaction levels may stem from the way the question was phrased. Many people feel more warmly toward their doctors than they do toward their insurers.

So, while one poll with unique wording pegged satisfaction at 95 percent, the average of all relevant polls over a two-year period was eight points lower than what Will cited. However, Will is correct that the levels of satisfaction with one's own health insurance are consistently high. Indeed, they're extraordinarily high, when one considers how rarely surveys find such high levels of agreement among Americans. Since Will portrayed the larger point accurately, even while modestly overstating the number, we rate his comment Mostly True.

Will says that 95 percent of people with health insurance are satisfied with it




Clearly....the ACA is, in its every aspect....a fraud.

As is Barack Hussein Obama (peace be on him.)

I'm not offering counseling. I thought you might be interested in having access to affordable health insurance.

Yes you are offering counseling.

Could you define "affordable" for us ?

Without knowing your income and number of people covered? Of course not. And I certainly wouldn't expect you to tell me that here.

All I can do is give you information like the link to this site: Subsidy Calculator Widget and encourage you to take responsibility for your own situation.

I have insurance...good insurance.

I am asking a question as a matter of generalities.

Who defines what is affordable and where do we get those definitions ?

The answer is individual, as in "What is affordable for you?"
