Why the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a.k.a., Obamacare bites the big one!

The ACA was rammed through Congress like poop through a duck!

Many people think they like it.  Many are liberals who think it's the greatest deal in the world for poor people, so they can afford to buy health care.

I'm here to tell you that the Affordable Care Act STINKS!!!

Because:
We were told the premiums would be significantly lower and they are NOT.
We were NOT told that out-of-pocket expenses would increase dramatically.
We were NOT told that yearly deductibles would escalate absurdly from where they were around $250 per year way up to a high of $15,000 per year, depending on what sort of coverage you want and what premium you want.
We were NOT told about all the hidden costs we would have to pay for services and that we wouldn't know about them until we are billed by doctors, hospitals, et. al.
The AFA is a terrible concept and it is failing Americans on most levels.
If you want to pay a small premium for poor coverage, it is possible to get a slight deal.
We were told that insurance companies must cover preexisting conditions; however, many people are finding that their preexisting conditions are either NOT covered or they must PAY MUCH MORE to have it covered.

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU AS TO WHY THE ACA STINKS FOR MOST AMERICANS???
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore, health care providers are playing end-around games with patients and charging more for their goods and services, plus, the costs are rising every 6 months!
If Obama and Congress wanted to provide everyone with cheaper insurance they should have extended Medicare for all Americans.
People could have been charged the same amounts Medicare recipients are paying for the same Medicare benefits and affordable deductibles.
It's all a fight to pull-in the mighty dollar!
But, the health providers would throw a major fit.  They couldn't charge high premiums and deductibles; they couldn't charge elevated costs for medications; they would have to take in less profit under a Medicare for All program.
Medicare works well for most people on it; it is a proven system and they had it right in front of Obama's nose!!!
Health care was much better BEFORE Obama sold our nation a bill of goods.  It was cheaper and more affordable.

Both President Obama and his Obamacare have been a HUGE disappointment.  Interestingly, many people still don’t know it, but in time they will.

A quick word about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a.k.a., Obama-care

The ACA was a rushed plan.  Many legislators could not / did not read the bill in entirety, but it was approved.  There were also some measures tacked onto the bill that had little or nothing to do with the actual bill.

There are more people unemployed, lacking health care than since the Great Depression.  There are more illegals in our nation than ever before.

People who do work can't afford health care because the costs have escalated so much re: premiums, co-pays and out of pocket expenses.  Even if you have health care you can't afford the out of pocket.

And since the health care industry will not deal with all these issues themselves, the government needed to step in.

I don't like the ACA, but I recognize the need for us to do better.  Health care is unaffordable for the majority.  That definitely says something.

It seems like the Republicans continue to bad mouth the ACA and are trying to panic the public with their "information" which is not factual and actually is mis-information.

However, if the majority of our nation does not have health care the rest of us are going to suffer for it.

Extreme Republicans need to stop being idiotic and trying to scare the people.  It's time for both parties to work together.   This hasn't been done in at least 2 decades and it's one of the reasons why Americans have fallen to new lows.

Working together used to be what we did best.   Now we just bickering and disrespect each other.   It's time to change that.

Part of me hopes that the Government does shut down this weekend.  Government may need a vacation so that the rest of us survive a little easier.

My advice to Congress:   Work together you morons!
