Don't know where you guys are at with Obamacare. Thanks, POM
In 2006, I had an insurance policy for $67/month. It covered everything I needed.
After Obama care, the cheapest I could find was $300/month. Since I'm just over the income limit, I don't qualify for subsidies.
As a result I don't have insurance at all. Can't afford it.
Well Andy. Since you are a male, that 300 dollar premium includes your yearly breast and gynecological exam even though (I hope) you never need it. Don't worry, you're wife or girlfriend has her prostate exam included in her premium. You could never get that kind of coverage at 67 per month couldja even?...This statement requires some brain cells because it is really F up ain't it????
But please. I know S about health insurance. You need DebbieDowner to counsel you on that.
I don't have a wife or girlfriend.
But I agree with your point (assuming I understand it correctly). There are tons of requirements on insurance, that are ridiculous. And some states have additional requirements even over what the Federal Government requirements are. Like I know some states require it cover mental illness, acupuncture, alcoholism, and even marriage counseling.
Well of course that drives up the cost. Idiotic. I don't even drink alcohol. Why do I need marriage counseling and alcoholism insurance?
Did you read the bill Nancy was talking about?
No. The bill was too large for anyone to read. Which by the way, was intentional. They even said openly they made the bill huge and insane, specifically so that no one would read it.
That's one of the problems with a democracy, which is why we were not supposed to be a democracy.
At the start, you can whip up support for anything. Democracy is a rule of the ignorant. You can say "Yes we can!" like the Obama slogan, and when you do those empty slogans, everyone imposes on that "Yes we can!" what they want it to mean.
But if you pass a bill that is easy to read and understand, then you can't make up your own views of what it is supposed to mean. You end up with people reading it, and finding things they disagree with.
Democrats know that. So they made a bill that was massive intentionally, so that when they pushed for it, the people wouldn't have time to read it. So everyone just assumed it was going to do what they wanted.
I don't need to read the bill now. Because the bill has already passed, and is law. All I need to do now, is look at the market, and see what the results were.
The results were, I can't afford health insurance now. That's it. That is all I need to know.
