November 23, 20169 yr Not if we can weed out the freeloaders. So they show up at the emergency room, which is what they do, and we kick them out. Hospitals won't do that. Freeloaders aren't they main problem with costs, it is preexisting conditions that drive the costs up. Any actuary I have seen or read verifies that. Double edge sword with that component. Let's talk about the real cost drivers, it is too easy to say freeloaders when most have no clue who those are and how many. The freeloaders weren't taking ObamaCare they git sick and showed up at the hospital like always.

Let's talk about the real cost drivers, it is too easy to say freeloaders when most have no clue who those are and how many. The freeloaders weren't taking ObamaCare they git sick and showed up at the hospital like always. This is much of the problem. Nobody wants to take the time to find out. My bet is it is 100's of thousands. If you don't think that drives up costs, SMH. I worked in a part of healthcare for 25 years, my wife has been and RN for 25 years. This is more of a problem than you think. Real cost drivers? Let's do away with the taxes on medical equipment. Let's do away with the parts of healthcare plans that people don't need. Like I said, I'm a 56 y.o. male. Why do I need a plan that requires me to have women's care services? These plans drive up the costs. Let's face it. The ACA was a train wreck from the beginning. Those that put it together knew it would implode.

There are lots of cost drivers that are there I am sure most of us do not know. However, everything that I have read says the main one is preexisting conditions. I don't believe it has been a train wreck. It could have been very very good if both sides would have worked out the problems and made it better rather than the "all or nothing" approach.

November 23, 20169 yr I'll never forgive Obama and the dems for the way in which Obamacare was passed . Legislation that affected every American passed without a single vote from the minority party . In a nearly equally divided senate as well , not like to was 58-42 or something. I cant think our founding fathers would have approved of that one .
November 24, 20169 yr Won't really know how it has effected me. How many lives have not been brought into this world that could have made a difference in this world?
