Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

The worst thing this country has had to face since... ever ? Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.

Quote:"your so smart...go take a vacation" "You Liberals are the assholes not Ted Cruz" "cant wait until we take 6 seats from you commies this November" "An Obama shill pitching Obamacare imagine that!!" "Good grief no one believes these lies. No, you aren't better off and you're a troll."
Quote: "Yes. Costs stopped climbing. I'm a small business guy and I don't have to worry because insurance companies can't drop us anymore." "You're a small business guy huh, That's funny because then you would realize how full of crap your original post is full of. Typical lib acting like they are for "small business" all the while taking all of the money out of them." "A Liberal who owned a business for over 30 years, and my old employees still come and visit me. So, what is this crap about Liberals not owning business'.....Costco is run by Liberals you knotheads." "Right, there ISN'T a single 'lib' small business out there, seeing as how we're all 'against' them. The ONLY people who are competent enough to conceive or start up a business are god fearin' far right winger nuts! I'm on my 5th small business and I am a 'lib' so maybe we should have a category called 'miniscule' businesses and compartmentalize all 'libs' with their own businesses." "Small businesses like mine can get a 50% tax credit if we provide health insurance. We couldn't get that before. This applies to companies with fewer than 26, which happens to be where the vast majority of hiring takes place. The Affordable Care Act is good for small businesses, good for me, and with those tax cuts the REAL job creators can do more hiring."
Quote:"When the government gives you something, they own you. This is not a good thing ... costs are going to keep going up." "It's good to hear from a small business. Dorothy, he just said his costs stopped rising. You must garner a new talking point lol." "Dorothy, for the first time in about 40-50 years costs have been coming down. The Affordable Care Act includes a rule that no more than 15% for a group, or 20% for an individual can be spent on administrative costs. 26% of health insurance costs were being burned on things like executive pay increases before the ACA. The 80/20 rule requires as least 80% be spent on health. Well, I got a check for several hundred dollars back from my insurance company for that. (Note: There is no government run plan, no government control. My plan is with Blue Cross Blue Shield as it has always been. Would you say... BCBS owns me?)" " "costs are going to keep going up." Of course they are. Question: do you think it would be any different without Obamacare?"
Quote:"I don't have Obamacare, but someone I know who had bad mouthed it for the past for years, recently had to get coverage after her husband passed away. The first words out of her mouth, "Thank God for Obamacare." She is a staunch Republican and believes everything she hears on Fox News. And those who are saying they won't comply are cutting off their noses to spite their faces." "Give me a break. After my experience on ACA success page I don't believe anything. Sorry you feel so threatened by FOX news that you need to call them out! Try not watching them. I am a Proud Republican and I support healthcare reform, but not they way it is being done." "I don't feel threatened by Fox, I'm just very upset that so many people believe their lies." "What way would you like to see it done? We've been waiting for alternative answers for five years and haven't been getting any. This is clearly a better option than what we had before, even if 100% of the people aren't happy with it." ""Obamacare" is not a thing. There is no such thing as "Obamacare." You do not sign up for "Obamacare." Citizens purchase insurance through private insurance companies, none of which are called "Obamacare." Republicans have had four years to exercise their FREEDOM to become informed yet many have abandoned that FREEDOM and still are massively uninformed. How can you be "against Obamacare" when it isn't even a real thing? The ACA reforms EXISTING FOR-PROFIT INSURANCE. It is sad that Republicans willingly swallow lies designed to harm them." ""Obamacare" is not an insurance policy. You don't "have" Obamacare. You buy health insurance from private companies, which are REGULATED by "Obamacare" and prevented from SCREWING YOU nearly as badly as before."
Quote:Dave, the crazy thing is that we already paid for all of those people, but the stupid way. You see Reagan passed a law that said everyone could get free treatment at the ER if they couldn't pay for it. Reagan set up a massive case of socialism; so Americans who paid were socializing the losses of the irresponsible, or those who couldn't afford, didn't get insurance. So, in some cases 30% of hospital bills go unpaid and Government covers it through higher taxes and hospitals increase the fees on the insured who pay. Here is a study of the uncompensated care costs that would spike up to about $700 billion without the Affordable Care Act. It is actually cheaper to help them buy insurance!

Quote:"That could very well be possible in a state where medicaid wasn't expanded like mine. But if you are in the in between spot (somewhere where you would have been covered by the expanded medicaid) then you wont be required to pay the fine." "Not true, David. If you simply cannot afford any of the plans offered, you are exempt." "You don't have to pay a fine if you have a utility shut off notice. Don't pay your electric bill. Get your shut off notice in the mail. Keep it. Pay your bill so your lights don't get shut off and then since you have electric, go to the website and actually read it. There are a bunch of exemptions, like if you've had a death in the family or are Amish." "David........ I can see that you live in Maine. Maine's Governor. Paul LePage has not allowed the free expansion of Medicaid under the ACA. About 25,000 poor and uninsured Mainers will miss out on health insurance under the Affordable Care Act because the state refused to expand Medicaid, according to a national study by the Kaiser Family Foundation." "Call 1-800-318-2596 and ask for help." "if you have that low of an income you will be provided it free from the county, look into if you are serious" "Get an agent to help you! I thought it was awful at first and when the agent showed up it was like a miracle. I have a great and affordable plan."
