Alabama Mom's ObamaCare Horror Story

What is it going to take to stop the horror stories?

Skimpy health law plans leave some "underinsured"

For working people making modest wages and struggling with high medical bills from chronic disease, President Barack Obama's health care plan sounds like long-awaited relief. But the promise could go unfulfilled.

It's true that patients with cancer and difficult conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Crohn's disease will be able to get insurance and financial help with monthly premiums.

But their annual out-of-pocket costs could still be so high they'll have trouble staying out of debt.
 
I read he whole story
that's tragic
how did they not see all this coming?
what to do?
Just go naked, pay as you go
Insurance is now for very wealthy individuals to protect their net worth
not for common hardworking families
the idea of insurance is not to cut costs or make money
just go naked baby
just you and the doctor

I've only had one trip to the hospital
the bill came to about 10k
took about 6 months to get it
I called up the billing department
It was like talking to a used car salesman

it ended with him saying, "Well, what can I do to get you to pay in full today?'

we settled on 5k on my credit card

done
 
my doctor charges $35 for an office visit
not only does he not accept insurance
he won't take a credit card or even a personal check

just green cash

and he has a bag of it in his desk

he answers the phone personally when you call and can usually see you that same day

if you need a prescription he knows all the prices at all the local pharmacies

in his words, "CVS? nah, I'm not going to prescribe you there, that's for people on Medicare, I can get you better price somewhere else."

You do know there are thousands of medical insurance and uninsured people with horror stories pre ACA. Bankruptcy, untreated disease, and deaths were all here before ACA. The website rollout was a failure and there are flaws in the ACA are we better or worse off than before. Probably worse in the short term and will get better once the majority are insured and once they get the bugs worked out much better than before.

Yes, but the ACA was supposed to make things better for people, not worse. Instead, it had taken people's lives that were sane and flipped them upside down.

You can state how many issues there were before, but there are more now - for a law that was supposed to fix things, not break more.

Yeah Obama fucked up and most are in agreement on that but that doesn't mean the original objective can't be met. I don't know how much of a rewrite it'll take but heck congress doesn't have anything else to do. They should get to work. And going back to the previous system which was also at least as fucked up shouldn't be an option. Of course IMO.

All the ACA did was take money from hard working taxpayers and their good healthcare plans and lower the standard for everyone just to insure people who won't get off their ass and get a job.

Socialism- equal distribution of misery.

Yeah, that's just what we need. Because Congress does such a great job when they "get to work" on things.

This is why liberals like yourself fail at most everything. You rely on the government to spoon feed you and make everything better. When anyone with common sense or a history book can see that the government fucks up almost everything they touch.

That was an irrational personal attack that has nothing to do with the subject.
