[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under this bill, pregnancy will cost you an extra 17K. Metastatic cancer 172K. Autism 5K. Asthma 4K. This isn't a healthcare bill.[/quote]

Neither is my health coverage real at the ridiculous sky higj premiums I am paying under Aca. Affordable my ass. They better do something or I'll kick them out of office.   There are just as many of us who have been hurt. Y this monstrosity as you who claim that it is your saving grace.  It needs a full repeal [/quote]

A full repeal means no coverage for prexisting conditions or lifetime maxes.  That's gonna cost you.  Premiums have gone up every years for the last 30 years.  This isn't the ACA it's the reality of a for-profit healthcare model.  You're directing your outrage at the ACA.  In fact, millions more have coverage under ACA AND the breadth and depth of coverage is better.  [/quote]
The "security" that comes from knowing pre-x conditions are covered is false. It's a big rallying cry of the D's, but did you realize that the ACA plans are so limited in networks that 15% of them are missing key specialists? It's a big LIE that insurers have to cover pre-x conditions, since they aren't required to have a specialist for every condition. So you could buy into an ACA plan for $10k a year, thinking you're now protected in case you develop....whatever.....a serious thyroid condition.....only to find that, when you do, your plan has no endriconoligists. [/quote]

Oh please.  15% of America does not have an endocrinologist within a reasonable drive.[/quote]
That was only an example. [b]But another common specialty that is missing are psychiatrists.[/b] So.....Obamacare requires that mental health be covered, but does not require plans to have a psychiatrist? Obviously, that was another "gimme" to the insurance industry that had donated heavily to Obama & Co. (Rs are guilty of the same thing....bribed by health industry officials.)[/quote]

I have an employer sponsored plan through UHC and there are barely any in-network psychiatrists and I live in close-in Maryland, not some rural town.  Psychiatrists are hard to find under in-network coverage because they don't want to be bound by the measly payments they'll receive.

Needed to find a speech therapist for my son that was in network and there are only two that are in network in the 50 mile radius where we live and the waiting time for an appointment for a diagnostic was three months.  Again, I live in a close-in suburb of Washington, DC and have problems finding and securing an appointment with a specialist.

This isn't the ACA, it's the structure of our healthcare industry.  [/quote]
