[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if this was posted but Bannon said at the "Values Summit" that the point of cutting off CSRs was to intentionally blow up the insurance markets (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bannon-admits-it)

Craig Garthwaite (a Republican health care economist critical if the ACA) said the same thing on twitter-- doing it two weeks before enrollment means it was intentional sabotage of the insurance markets.

It just boggles my mind that this Administration would be so blinded by its hate of anything Obama-related that it would intentionally hurt Americans who need individual insurance.[/quote]

What's happening today is perfect strangers are being intentionally hurt by the artificial consequences of Obamacare, which are crazy-high premiums and a mandate that you will give up a bigger and bigger part of your pay check for them.

Stop taking what Trump does personally. For every person you see hurt by him, he's trying to alleviate the "hurt" of another (much as Obama did - I'm going to levy a tax on person A for the benefit of person B).

Exactly! I was supposed to get PT twice a week, but at $160 each time (and that was the discounted rate with insurance!), I could only afford once a week. The poor people in the waiting room told me that they are going twice a week, as the doctor said, but Medicaid was paying in full.

And to add insult to injury, the self-pay rate was only $90. When I found out about that, I said I'd switch to self-pay, and then could afford 2x a week. (Funny....it COST me more to use insurance.) But they wouldn't permit it. They said I HAD to use the insurance, and that it was the insurance "policy." So the reward for paying $800 month in insurance is that I have to pay MORE than the uninsured?[/quote]
