[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, not going to read all this crap. I lost my company provided healthcare two years ago when the cost soared to twenty plus thousand per employee. That’s not what I paid but at some point our small company of thirty employees could not support a plan. Had a few individuals but my pop with deductibles was close to twenty thousand. I am now uninsured for the first time in thirty years. I use my money to pay for a concierge doctor and hope for the best for my long term health. [/quote]

Yup, another victim of Obamacare and Dem false promises.

Only Warren or Sanders would make things even worse.

Those DC folks who have never run anything don't know how to get anything done. We need some Governors in the race.[/quote]

My husband too. Owns a business with about 10 full time employees. Used to provide healthcare (paid 100% employee premium, but no dependent care- employee paid for dependents). The first 2? Years or so of ACA weren’t bad (and we got a tax incentive to help, also) but it quickly became unaffordable. We now buy a (worthless) plan on the ACA. The employees go without or buy plans on the ACA (heavily subsidized). In many ways this doesn’t make sense- we used to pay something (100% of employee premium) at least, but now that is all foisted onto taxpayers. This just makes no sense (from a public policy perspective). It almost as if the government doesn’t WANT us to provide insurance at al. So the taxpayers now pick up the whole tab. [/quote]
The government wanted everyone to have insurance. Hence ACA. Can you explain the R plan that allows everyone to buy insurance that actually pays for well checks, prescriptions, etc..?[/quote]

Hahahahaha the ACA pays for prescriptions? News to me. Sure- after I meet our 14k deductible, or whatever it is. We’ve been on ACA (pay full premium- no subsidies) since the beginning. Our insurance has never even once paid for anything besides “well checks”
And vaccines. Which is great and all, but those things are rather inexpensive. We have paid OOP for every.single.prescription. and every.single.sick visit. 100% of it. For how many years now...all the ACA is to us, is extremely expensive bankruptcy insurance. Mid 40s couple, 3 kids, all healthy no pre-existing conditions. [/quote]

Abh but you must be middle clsss. The group that now can not afford care. But if you were poor? Everything is free. Bill Clinton said it best. Absolutely insane d. [/quote]
