The thing is, plenty of these stories are probably true. I don’t have insurance because my job doesn’t offer it, premiums too high, don’t qualify for subsidy, etc. BUT. Are these motherfuckers actually looking at what is wrong and making a good faith attempt to correct the flaws? No. Are they looking at the inherent…

Nope, know ppl who really did have to leave their physician/system and their premiums went up. I’m not going to blame people for being lazy from the comforts of my company insurance policy. For some the ACA was a life saver for others is was a nightmare. Let’s not pretend this was somehow greater than it really was…

I’m going to wager he might have some circulation issues to his extremities.

Yep. I’m in NC and Pat McCrory didn’t accept expanded Medicaid and there is NO state mechanism for insurance, no web site, no nothing. I’m self-employed and for me and my college-aged son, I pay $1, 206.00/month for very shitty health insurance. My older son lives in Maryland and has better coverage, lower deductible,…

it wasnt the only state but there are a multitude of reasons why it wasnt a one sized fits all solution for health care

Most of the people complaining about the change in their coverage after ACA live in states that deliberately rejected the creation of state insurance pools and the federal money that came with it.

Maybe it’s more Walgreens-caliber bronzer, instead of Sephora. After all, we know he eats KFC and Scotch-tapes his fucking ties, so dudebro never spent a penny on quality when he could save a buck on cheapshit.

One of my friends who is retired from running a business of 100 has been running the estimates for the insurance of his wife and himself. Currently they spend around 600 a months under the ACA, from the information that he gathered so far he is estimating between 1,600 and 2,000 a month, if the AHCA passes the way it…

He was making acid wash jeans.

Absolutely. This was an absurdly priviledged post. I’ve been very fortunate to have good health care available for my family. When ACA came along our plan move to high deductible and we grumbled a bit because that meant we pretty much didn’t ever get to use our benefits. We never maxed out the deductible and I…

Some of us rock Moto Gs since we’re just that cheap!

Yep, Obamacare is an absolute mess. Some portions because of poor design. In other cases because it was crippled after being created.

The individual mandate is not included in the replacement plan, so they definitely got rid of it. 😕

I’m really sorry that your caught in a gap between types of coverage and are on your own for expenses. I think we all need to remember that the ACA didn’t help everyone, and clearly changes are needed to fix omissions and unintended consequences of the rushed and incomplete job of the first bill. I wish the…

I would want these assholes to spend one day working in my hospital that services a poor community and watch me while I give people terrible news - the only comfort they and I have is that paying for care will not be part of their burden - this is so heartless and it makes me unspeakably sad and angry - so angry - 

Holy fuck. How old am I? And where would a late 40's, mother, wife to a disabled person find out about these bands (I assume they are bands, a few of them sound like new antibiotics).

As someone noted on twitter, I think, Keystone XL is a pipeline desecrating Indian lands, built with Russian steel to carry Canadian tar sands oil to be exported to other countries, and create jobs lasting an average of 19 weeks.
