"ROFL I was totally trolling"2001400ex said:
Are you most people? Why do you think your actions are encompassing of the rest of the country?SFGbob said:
Which state isn't that statement true in liar? I didn't have health insurance liar, but that didn't mean I just ignored my "oil change" needs. Shitty and stupid analogy dumbass. Let me guess, I missed your "point."2001400ex said:
That is true in most states. But you miss the point too race.RaceBannon said:Hospitals and Emergency rooms can not deny care based on inability to pay
hondoFS as usual
Here I'll give another example. So you change the oil in your car? Or do you let it ride until everything breaks? Most people without insurance do the latter.
But basic concepts are lost on you and such fag Bob.
Here's a pro tip for you. I misspoke on health Care versus health insurance. Any rational person would have realized that. When you started arguing trying to prove you are right, I have been trolling you ever since. Which is what hardly clothed is referring to. And you still don't see.

I still know gobs of people that just end up not buying insurance because they can't afford it and just pay the penalty instead. They are forced to pay for all of their healthcare out of pocket at offices that will take cash.
My favorite part of this is how someone like Hondo or one of my liberal friends will try to explain to me how this isn't actually a problem at all or how it's just a misconception on my part. It has nothing to do with actual rates skyrocketing or actual experiences...
Ok now that that's out of the way. It didn't kill the private market. There's like 11 million people buying insurance through the exchanges. That's substantially higher than bought on the private market before.
But you bring up a good point. Why is health Care tied to employers? I know the history of why but is that a good system? There are better ways but that's where we are now.
Your friends that don't have insurance..... They are the exact people a national health Care system would help. That being said, they are in the exact same place they were before Obamacare. Well other than the penalty.... Guess it sucks to be them. -

My own rates went from $70/month to $450/month. My family rates went from about $200 to over $1200 per month. I have lots of friends that it's even worse for.
This is directly because of the subsidies and "one size fits all" policies Obamacare put in place. -
Wait wut? They are private insurers. With plans in accordance with requirements by the government. So they can't rob you by kicking you off insurance if you get sick, for example.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Read for comprehension. So you were privileged. Most people can't afford to pay hospital bills. And when they get sick, therefore don't go to the doctor if they don't have insurance. Then what happens, shit gets worse.... So instead of a $300 visit and it's done, now it requires surgery.SFGbob said:
I always love it when the liar accuses you of doing exactly what they really are doing. How was I able to access healthcare during my 20s despite the fact that I didn't have health insurance liar? Essentially, you're a lying fucking moron Hondo.2001400ex said:
You are playing semantics with insurance vs health Care.SFGbob said:
It's almost like you pull this very same Kunt act every time you're caught talking out your ass. I read what you said dumbass. You lied about 30 million people not having healthcare prior to Obamacare. You then doubled down and restated pretty much the same thing. I didn't have health insurance through out my 20s. I always had access to healthcare. Liar or moron Hondo, take your pick.2001400ex said:
It's almost like you don't read. But if you had great health Care. Why did you bother with insurance?SFGbob said:
Bullshit. I didn't have health insurance until my early 30s. I always had access to healthcare. You're essentially a dumbfuck.2001400ex said:
If you don't have insurance. You essentially don't have health Care. Not many people have the cash to pay for anything at the hospital. And doctors/hospitals will bankrupt you to get paid.SFGbob said:
Notice how this dipshit never addresses the instances where he puts his head up his ass. Claiming that 30 million people didn't have healthcare before Obamacare is pure bullshit. But being the mouthy little dipshit he is, Hondo just acts like he never said it and powers through to a new and better head up the ass moment.2001400ex said:
HTH
Appears the "you didn't read it" Kunt dodge didn't work. Hondo's now claiming that I'm playing a "semantics" game.2001400ex said:

The real reason the prices went up is because with unlimited government involvement came unlimited government money!UW_Doog_Bot said:

Yay.
While the law was shit and there's lots to do to fix it. It's better than the old system.
Funny thing one must realize: Money doesn't grow on trees, except in Socialist utopias, like Venezuela, which I hear is nice.

This has become a very common problem, those numbers are in line with what many people have experienced as a result of the "Affordable Care Act". Anyone with half a brain could tell that Obamacare was headed this way, destined to fail from day one. A healthy dose of suspicion might lead one to believe it was designed to fail with enough pain to get the masses to agree with the left's long term goal of single payer. Or it is just a reflection of the idiots who put it in place. Or abundance.UW_Doog_Bot said:

I still know gobs of people that just end up not buying insurance because they can't afford it and just pay the penalty instead. They are forced to pay for all of their healthcare out of pocket at offices that will take cash.
My favorite part of this is how someone like Hondo or one of my liberal friends will try to explain to me how this isn't actually a problem at all or how it's just a misconception on my part. It has nothing to do with actual rates skyrocketing or actual experiences...
Ok now that that's out of the way. It didn't kill the private market. There's like 11 million people buying insurance through the exchanges. That's substantially higher than bought on the private market before.
But you bring up a good point. Why is health Care tied to employers? I know the history of why but is that a good system? There are better ways but that's where we are now.
Your friends that don't have insurance..... They are the exact people a national health Care system would help. That being said, they are in the exact same place they were before Obamacare. Well other than the penalty.... Guess it sucks to be them.
My own rates went from $70/month to $450/month. My family rates went from about $200 to over $1200 per month. I have lots of friends that it's even worse for.
This is directly because of the subsidies and "one size fits all" policies Obamacare put in place.
Looks like it worked -

Exchanges - Government set up "markets" where the government directs who qualifies as a provider, the government directs who qualifies as a purchaser, the government directs who can purchase what, at what price, with what level of profit, with what coverage, all with underlying taxes and subsidies for different purchasers dictated by the government, all on a government set up website.
Sounds about the same as people who claim that single payer isn't socialism. It's a "free market" solution. Sure.gif -

Wait wut? They are private insurers. With plans in accordance with requirements by the government. So they can't rob you by kicking you off insurance if you get sick, for example.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Except that it completely killed the private market(see unsubsidized) for healthcare. It's part of why I won't go back to being a consultant. It's impossible for me to afford health insurance that ISN'T through an employer.2001400ex said:
I don't have time to research this. And this is from 2013, but it illustrates my point. Yes Obamacare didn't reduce health insurance costs. But the actual increases now are lower than they were in the past. In other words. It had Little positive effect but the many peoples perception was it had a negative effect. Which isn't true. The bill was shit but better than what we had. At least people who don't have employer provided insurance now have an easy way to find insurance.TurdBuffer said:
Right. Obamacare was supposed to stop the skyrocketing and bring it under control. With a true "public option" it had a chance of making an impact on costs. That's why Obama's Wall Street banker backers told him to drop that fucking shit yesterday as soon as he took office, and he obediently did so, handing it off to Harry Reid to give it the Fredo treatment. Nevadans are known for that.2001400ex said:

I still know gobs of people that just end up not buying insurance because they can't afford it and just pay the penalty instead. They are forced to pay for all of their healthcare out of pocket at offices that will take cash.
My favorite part of this is how someone like Hondo or one of my liberal friends will try to explain to me how this isn't actually a problem at all or how it's just a misconception on my part. It has nothing to do with actual rates skyrocketing or actual experiences...
Ok now that that's out of the way. It didn't kill the private market. There's like 11 million people buying insurance through the exchanges. That's substantially higher than bought on the private market before.
But you bring up a good point. Why is health Care tied to employers? I know the history of why but is that a good system? There are better ways but that's where we are now.
Your friends that don't have insurance..... They are the exact people a national health Care system would help. That being said, they are in the exact same place they were before Obamacare. Well other than the penalty.... Guess it sucks to be them.
But ok!!
Exchanges - Government set up "markets" where the government directs who qualifies as a provider, the government directs who qualifies as a purchaser, the government directs who can purchase what, at what price, with what level of profit, with what coverage, all with underlying taxes and subsidies for different purchasers dictated by the government, all on a government set up website.
Sounds about the same as people who claim that single payer isn't socialism. It's a "free market" solution. Sure.gif -
Um no the market is not efficient. It actually would definitely be way more efficient as a true free market. They'd profit a shit ton by overcharging people and kicking sick people off their plans and dictating to doctors what treatments are the cheapest option.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Ah, so it's not a "free market". So would you say the government's regulations are doing an effective job of making the market efficient?2001400ex said:

The Great Society Theory of Obama care is that once most everyone is insured, people will be healthier, diseases will be caught and treated earlier, and there won't be as many catastrophic, expensive to treat health conditions. Great in Theory, not gonna happen in practice, as anyone who's been to a Seahawks, Sounders or Storm game knows, because people are fatter, lazier, and unhealthier than ever before, and that's compared to our parents' generation that smoked, drank and procreated while popping large amounts of prescription drugs and diet pills.UW_Doog_Bot said:
