April 6, 20179 yr If Obamacare fails and people can't get insurance...How is that good for the American people? I can't even fathom how that's going to work. :idunno: Seems like some of you are cheering for anarchy.
April 6, 20179 yr I saw a survey that said nearly 60% of physicians now want a single-payer system so they don't have to deal with Obamacare or insurance companies. Some physicians now take cash only for services because they are so fed up with insurance companies. If Republicans at this point let Obamacare collapse when they have the power to fix it it would look very bad on them
April 6, 20179 yr I guess that's a no, then? :idunno: From a purely personal standpoint, that would be absolutely correct. When I retired in 2008, our health insurance premium was on a trajectory to double every 6 years or so. Before Obamacare. My premium has stayed the same, with a small increase in deductible.

April 6, 20179 yr You're welcome. I, along with 20 million or so who now have insurance, thank you.:thumb:

I can't figure out how you and a few others have it better now than majority of us. Even still, it's an overall failure.

I think the main thing was it went from covering unlimited kids to a multiplier as the number of kids went up.

I am happy that everyone has "coverage", but I absolutely won't use mine, because I now have a $5,000 family deductible so it is more of a stop loss than anything else. Additionally, because I had a one-up record year, my tax bill was considerably higher in 2016 due to additional provisions of the AHCA. To me making healthcare affordable and providing insurance aren't necessarily the same thing.

Those tax things have never affected me. Haven't even itemized for years.
April 6, 20179 yr I guess that's a no, then? :idunno: Just drive by one liners is all you will receive.
April 6, 20179 yr It seems like only people that voted for Obama has had no change or better coverage, at least in Kentucky. :lol2:
