Does anybody else find the irony in...

It being called the affordable care act? My employees just received their projected premiums for this years plan with the minimum government standard and many agreed they couldn't afford them. Many of my employees saw a substantial increase in compensation over the last year, and as a result their cost for insurance skyrocketed. Mine is downright obscene.
The government would #### up a wet dream.

that were able to scrape the premium together, they probably can't afford to use it because of the high OOPocket.
It was all a ruse to garner additional votes...

Are you missing the part where folks with pre-existing
Mar 3, 2016, 9:25 AM
|

conditions now can actually get insurance as opposed to being denied? I think they would tell you the ACA has been a literal and monetary life saver, but that probably wouldn't fit your narrative or agenda.
Folks get a less-than-standard insurance policy and it results in medical issues not covered and revenues that ultimately get charged off by the medical industry, which perpetuates rising health care costs.
Like Barry or not I don't care, but pinning rising health care costs on him is shallow. If you think this problem is within the control of the POTUS, you'd have to share the blame with every single POTUS since the 70s.

you know, passing repeal bill #37 through the house again with no backup plan. Monte Cristo, it's been YEARS and SCOTUS affirmed it twice. Time to roll up some sleeves and cut costs, and quit pretending like you are going to repeal it.

My understanding it that the malpractice insurance
Mar 3, 2016, 9:43 AM
|

has gotten out of control. This is a cost that get passed on, but really doesn't help anybody get better care. I don't feel like a doctor making a mistake should be a lottery win for somebody. Say I have to go have open heart surguery tomorrow and something goes wrong leading me having to have some procedure done once a year for the rest of my life but I can go back to work. Well, that procedure should be paid for by the offending hospital but I get to pick who does it. Maybe a little cash $100,000 or less for my troubles and go one. Now if I can't work at all, maybe throw in a couple of million based on my earnings potential.

Tort reform and allow interstate competition with insurance

companies.
Two of the bigger cost reducers and they weren't included.
Makes me think the real reason of that bill wasn't to provide "affordable care" at all.
