So how many of us didn't get Obamacare?

[Lucy]

I did it for me and mom (applied, but didn't enroll). Minimum premium of $450 a month for my mom.

I tell her "we have to treat ourselves then".

It's cool, I go to the library, gets some books on microbiology and organic chemistry.

Be self-taught medical personal. Harvard has great info on medical stuff.

I got other medical bills to finish paying up as well.

This definitely changed my opinion of Obama. These healthcare plans aint shyt. I recently got an income increase so my son was dropped from Medicaid. The price for him, his mother, and myself for a silver plan was 500 minimum. Thats a fukkin carnote

Wait, so you'd rather drive a car you can't afford than be able to go to the hospital if you're sick?

it can be read that way

But the car would be something that gets everyday utility from. I haven't been to the hospital since I had asthma in elementary school.I'll be damned if I spend 6 grand a year for a couple doctors checkups ...I'll just wait till I get off temp at my job

 

[Ohnoits]

I already have insurance via my job

 

[JBoy]

amazing how we live in the wealthiest damn country in the world and we have some of the shyttiest social services in the developed world
hopefully some how the ACA can be a start towards a much improved health system

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

Guess what I'm paying for healthcare in Toronto?

 

[GoogleMe]

So you would have rather he did nothing because he damn sure wasn't getting a single payer plan passed.

Job coverage is

This.

Like, how do most of y’all NOT have benefits through your job?

I mean damn, even retail chains got medical benefits.

It's shyt like this that pushes me more towards the middle. I was all for this at first but I hear very few people say their insurance prices dropped. Obama really bent us over on this one.

Luckily my job has good benefits.

 

[DStyles]

Shut the fukk up. nikka far from the worst president you dumb fukk. Take that bullshyt to foxnews.com

Has kept the country on debt
Wants to go toe to toe with my trill ass nikka Putin for no reason.
Is forcing its citizens to get health care... expensive health care.

Should I continue?

Obama and his whole family.

you like most are looking at it wrong.

lets do the math for you. real simple.

your old crap plans that most people had. even some of those people that were contractors or folks that own their own business. they had crap plans too.

crap plans cover some things if something crazy happens. but what you never looked at is that these crap plans dont cover a lot of other things. like if you end up having to stay in the hospital for more then a couple of days. they would kick you off the plan cause you're too expensive to carry. these same crap plans would never cover anyone with a pre-existing condition. the ACA also forced the insurance companies to carry you on your parents insurance for a few more years. look at the trend with how many young adults are broke right now staying at the house trying to make ends meet fresh out of college. so thank obeezy for that for sure.

see people are comparin their old 1995 geo metro to their new 2014 ford focus. there's no comparison. of course the 2014 focus costs more. its a much better car, its more reliable. shoot it looks better and its brand spankin new.

so if you were paying $150 per month for your crap car. and you get that new car your montly will go up to $250.00 per month. but look at the difference in value you are getting. you are actually getting more bang for your buck. but just because you dont see a direct savings you cant see it. yall have to learn to pay attention to details and not just the fluff.

the crap plans most people had before the ACA were so bad. to the point yall would've done better back then with no insurance at all and just run to a county hospital if something happened. cause those plans were a waste of your money anyway. but you dont know that cause you were lucky enough to never have a serious illness.

fukk that shyt I voted for this fool cuz I thought we'd get single payer, I abstain, nikka fukk insurance companies.

believe campaign promises, brehs.

you realize he isnt King of America right? whats he supposed to do when the sole purpose of the GOP is to oppose everything he proposes?

and what does it say about a segment of our population that hate the fact that a black man is President so much that they would vote against their own self interest? its baffling and amazing to watch at the same time

I never thought he was, I thought he'd be able to mobilize his own party enough to bring some real changes. Blue dogs fukked it up in the end more than the GOP did, dude had a majority and still wanted to play nice with the GOP knowing damn well they wanted to sabotage everything he attempted to do. Not to mention it was Obama that ended up taking SP off the table without a fight and eventually the PO was doomed to not make it. I understand it wasn't just Obama at fault, but his pandering to Rethugs and willingness to go back on the things his campaigned on was a huge letdown. Honestly, I only voted in 2012 so Romney wouldn't get into office. From here on out if I do ever vote I'm choosing the most progressive candidates if I vote at all.
