[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ because Obamacare decreases access to care for the "just enough they don't qualify for subsidies" group, they are effectively uninsured.  Because they have a small amount of assets (probably only their house) they have a good chance of losing that to the combination of healthcare costs and disruption in employment.  So yes, then they'll have free healthcare. Yay.

I don't see why, if you support Obamacare, why you have such a problem seeing that the just enough group often goes without care now.  It's disingenuous to claim 20 million people now have care, when many more don't have adequate care as a result of the changes.  Now 31 million people are underinsured without adequate care according to Commonwealthfund.org which surveys insurance trends.

I don't think that's right.  However, I'm not attacking the newly covered.  I'm attacking the legislation which created the gap as not very equitable.

Agreed. In fact there's an article that describes "the reversal of fortunes" in which the previously uninsured lower class is coming in for all their medical needs while the previously insured middle-class is skipping appointments, exams, and treatments because it is THEY who now can't afford it. Why was there such an uproar about the lower class not having medical access and the "oh well" attitude toward the middle class who now are in the place the lower class was?
