And PolitiFact Named "Death Panels" Its 2009 "Lie Of The Year"
But somehow I doubt you'll listen to either of these sources. Sigh.
I'm thrilled about the Affordable Care Act and am waiting until the website is improved so I can buy my coverage. I have individually purchased coverage now and I'll be saving several hundred dollars a month with my new plan. So I can now purchase dental insurance with my savings. I love the ACA!
FWIW, no one has tried to repeal Romneycare in the 10 years that it has been the law in Massachusetts, and we have a lot more insurance companies (and therefore more competition and lower $$) offering policies than we had before.
I only offer my personal experience and observations.
It's also interesting that the Canadian firm, CGI, paid to create the website is in part run by Michelle Obama's college roommate and friend. Why did our government outsource $634,000,000 of our tax dollars to CANADA to create the website? Shouldn't OUR money, our hard-earned tax dollars from We The People stay in our country? That's ludicrous! They're are plenty of people in the U.S. that could use jobs.
Follow the money and the Chicago way. The answers lie in big payoffs to political cronies. The government and this administration couldn't care less about us little people that fund all their cr@p at our expense.
800,000 people in N.J. are receiving cancellations on their health insurance because their current plan doesn't include the required Obamacare standards which require coverage for birth control, maternity and the like.
I know not many elderly are concerned about that type of coverage.
Thanks jinx for starting this thread. It will be interesting, indeed. :)
But I highly endorse keeping the discussion of it out of other posts.
We needed reform very much. I was personally hoping for universal healthcare, which would have been a lot less confusing.
The vice -president n question was a classmate (not roommate) at Princeton the same time that Michelle Obama attended. Princeton's undergraduate enrollment is above 5,000 students.
As for the New Jersey-ites. They haven't been cancelled, just informed that their current policies do not conform to what will be required. That's 9% of New Jersey's 8.856 million total population. Whether this is good, bad, or indifferent is too soon to tell. None of us know how their individual policies will be changed or whether there will be an increase/decrease in cost/coverage, given subsidies and other benefits available. FYI, 1.3 million are currently uninsured in New Jersey, 15% of the population. New Jersey did expand medicaid, so no donut hole problem there.
Yes, the federal website roll out was absolutely horrible, no doubt about it. Heads should roll. But let's be accurate and not create boogey men.
I could add more about other false statements I've read on here, but I won't. Except to say that only one adult to child lung transplant has ever been done before, and the efficacy is unknown. What is known is that when one person moves up on the waiting list, another person moves down. Read more about the OPTN and its protocols - and who developed them.
I sometimes get irritated since many funds are wasted by folks without insurance or money who head to the emergency room for anything. And it seems to need to be a better way to handle the huge problems associated with addictions. I guess I think the real issue is not the insurance,affordable care act but the insurance industry. they are for profit. As long as profit is the driving force, how can it work? Making huge amounts of money off of sick people just seems wrong.
this is the panel of 15 that will determine whether you live or die, thank you Obamacare!
