Without Obamacare "I'd have lost the farm," says Alabama farmer.

[westwall]

The sixth generation farm of the op actually came into existence a few years ago. The op is garbage.

No link. No proof....just another GOP lie. You prepare Trump and Carson for debates?

I guess you missed this post. Here you go again... According to the records the farm came into existence in 2010 so the claim of a three generation farm at risk is horseshit. That makes the rest of the puff piece likewise horseshit.

Also please note the yearly income of the farm. You can get some pretty good health insurance when you make that much money.

Have someone with a brain explain the difference between revenue and income. You van have millions in revenue and NO INCOME. And how, exactly, does a farm come into existence? What you linked is an entry on a notoriously inaccurate web site that shows a particular corporate entity came into existence. Does not mean that the same family did not own that farm for three generations. Here is the Alabama Corporation Department site. Business Entity Search By Name
No corporate entity called "Adcock Farms." So, your Manta entry is wrong. And here is the deed records from Blount County Alabama. Blount County Alabama

So, you calling Hank Adcock a liar turns out to be another epic failure on your part.

I love it when lefties are caught in a lie and then desperately spin to convince you it's just an alternate truth lol.

Dumbass farmer wasn't in any danger of losing the farm. The article is a cynical piece of propaganda by a no name hack whose only other piece of work is a bit of propaganda about magic mushrooms. She was hired to concoct a happy story about Obama are, and she did.

What should give ppl pause is the fact that there are no real happy stories, or they would use them. Obama are was never designed to help people, poor or otherwise. It's a vehicle for the destruction of America.

You called him a liar. You claimed that he would not have been in danger of losing his farm if he did not have health insurance. You posted a bullshit link from Manta trying to prove that he lied when he said his family had farmed that land for three generations. I posted the official Alabama Corporate name search results that proved that there is no corporation known as Adcock Farms. I posted the land records that showed that Hank Adcock personally owned the farm land. I just posted his father's obituary that identified him as a farmer. You lied and got busted.

What personal tax info? I linked to the public record of the ownership of the property, which proved that the bullshit about the farm only existing since 2010 was bullshit. As for the deed being dated 2012, his father died at the end of 2010. Perhaps you were not aware, but when a person dies their estate passes the property onto their heirs. A deed from 2012 is consistent with the estate transferring the property to Hank Adcock. And the fact that there was revenue of 1 million, which was a estimate based on who knows what, does not mean that they profited a dime. He said that he could not afford the $1200.00 for health insurance before. You call that a lie without any proof. Had it not been for the ACA, he would have gotten the are and then the taxpayers would have been paying for it. Being a law abiding citizen, however, when the law passed he obtained health insurance and avoided the devastation of a large debt he could not pay.

My bad...once more with content:

Without Obamacare 'I'd have lost the farm,' says Alabama farmer

Sometimes it helps to put a human face on the reasons why access to health insurance and affordable care is important.

Hank Adcock of Nectar lost half his right hand in a farming accident in June – but he'll tell anybody who will listen that he would have lost a lot more if it weren't for Obamacare.

"I'd a lost the farm, I guess," said Adcock.

The farm has been in his family for three generations, and Adcock has been working it for most of his 62 years. In June, both hands got caught in a hay baler while Adcock worked alone on Straight Mountain.

The machine yanked off his right ring and pinkie fingers, along with most of the muscle and bones connecting them to his wrist. He pulled the right hand out with his left, which then got caught, crushed and cut in the machine.

Adcock estimates that it took nearly 10 minutes to free himself from the machine. Then he wrapped up his mangled right hand and drove his truck – a stick shift – to the nearest house.

"Us country folk are tough," he said.

But they aren't particularly rich, which is why the Adcocks didn't have health coverage since the late 1980s. The family couldn't afford to pay nearly $1,200 a month for a policy.

The Obamacare policy they signed up for last year cost $102 a month, and it completely covered Hank's $63,000 hospital bill. Without it, the family could have been financially ruined.

"I tell everyone I can about Obamacare, but some people don't want nothing to do with it." Adcock said.

This year, even fewer people may be open to hearing his story. Experts are predicting slower enrollment in Alabama and across the nation in 2016. Open enrollment begins on Sunday.

Officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released estimates earlier this month that only about 1 million to 1.5 million people would gain health insurance through the marketplace this year. About 9 million gained coverage during the first two enrollment periods.

Marketplace coverage in Alabama has grown more slowly than the national average in the first two years of the program. Only 28 percent of eligible Alabamians have purchased coverage on the insurance exchange, compared to 36 percent nationwide, according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

The uninsured rate in Alabama has fallen from 17.7 percent to 14.5 percent since the launch of Obamacare, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In Alabama, about 160,000 people who haven't enrolled are eligible for tax credits that would offset the costs of healthcare coverage through the marketplace, according to Kaiser.

Those tax credits made it possible for the Adcocks to afford their Blue Cross health plan.

"I tell everyone I can about Obamacare, but some people don't want nothing to do with it." Adcock said.

An analysis of premium changes in 50 U.S. cities for 2016 shows that the benchmark silver plan – which is the most popular, will cost approximately 9 percent more next year in Birmingham, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. But customers eligible for tax credits could end up paying much less.

"While you are seeing premiums going up in Alabama, it's pretty much on par with the average you're seeing across the country," said Cynthia Cox, associate director of the Program for Study of Health Reform and Private Insurance at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Growth has been slower in many of the states that didn't expand Medicaid. In many cases, people who would qualify for tax credits under Obamacare may not want to get coverage because they don't trust it, said Doug Hoffman, a navigator for Enroll Alabama.

Hank Adcock was wary of Obamacare coverage when he first spoke to Hoffman. His suspicions weren't driven by politics, but by concerns about the legitimacy of the coverage.

"There are just so many con artists out there these days," he said.

Although there is still distrust in Alabama, cost is not as big an obstacle as it is in parts of Tennessee, where premiums are expected to increase by more than 38 percent.

Many states with low enrollment are experiencing bigger increases in cost than Alabama, Cox said. One of the reasons that costs aren't increasing more may be due to the participation of the state's young people. Only about 28 percent of those enrolled nationwide are young, but in Alabama, it's 32 percent.

"Despite the relatively few people enrolled, Alabama has a large number of young adults," Cox said.

Many Alabamians who already have Obamacare coverage will be shopping for new policies this year. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama – which dominates the insurance market in the state – announced that it would discontinue its only platinum plan and one of its gold offerings. The more expensive plans are less popular with consumers than bronze and silver plans, and the insurer sought hefty premium increases in the summer.

The good news for customers who are reenrolling and looking for a different plan is that shopping on the marketplace seems to save customers money, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. In Alabama, customers who changed plans between 2014 and 2015 saved an average of $16 a month according to the department.

Hoffman said the state still struggles with a large number of people who fall into the "Medicaid gap." Since the state opted out of expanding Medicaid, many of its lowest-income residents who would have been covered by the program do not qualify for tax subsidies that would help them afford private insurance on the exchange. In Alabama, 185,000 people fall into the Medicaid gap.

"About half of them are working," Hoffman said.

The Adcocks could fall into that gap starting next year, with the decrease in income resulting from Hank's injury.

He and his wife Sharon will do whatever it takes to keep their income above the level required to qualify for tax credits. They are considering selling a couple cows.

"It's the best thing that ever happened to us," Adcock said. "We'll do anything to keep it."

The myth that "the only people benefiting from this are leeches who don't work and expect something for nothing" is just that.

I am glad he had coverage,but that's not the point of this OP,he would have treatment and healthcare,if he had coverage or not,you will never be denied necessary care ever,he is also a stupid dumb ass for putting his hands into a running hay bayor,rule number 1!!! turn off all machinery before you work on it.

The point of the OP was to lie about this man who dared to discuss how the ACA helped him. And, yes, he would have received health care. But he would then have been required to pay for it. People who owe others money are sued for that money. When they cannot pay the money, they can have their property seized and sold to secure payment. Perhaps you are one of those who prefer to have others pay for them. Most Americans prefer that you take responsibility for your own healthcare.

Hank is a nickname.

So we have established that either the family farm doesn't exist, hank adcock doesn't exist, or he does exist and was in no danger of losing the farm.
