Nice while it lasted We really liked having health insurance. And in fact, thanks to an employer who believes in radical socialist ideas like paying a living wage, we'll probably be able to afford it even when the R's repeal the Affordable Care Act and we return to the bad old health insurance "system" we had before. Or whatever
Yup,My wife and i are considering getting a divorce so she and our younger son can get covered and also so that when i lose it they do not lose everything. Put the house in her name and rent from my wife.. No coverage for me,too many broken bones, skin cancer, and high blood pressure.Thanks America!!
They liked the parts with the end to pre-existing conditions, the kids staying on their insurance until 26, and stuff like that. They simply didn't consider that stuff part of "Obamacare"
Modern Healthcare has an excellent blog today about this. It's pretty long, but the very last line is the clincher:
"Perhaps everyone's worst fears won't be realized. But it's inevitable that big changes are coming to healthcare, and they are going to present huge challenges for every institution and special interest in the industry.They'll survive. But the saddest part is that the biggest losers from those changes will be the very people who put Donald Trump in office."
I knew three people who died because they didn't have health insurance--all three had symptoms they ignored until it was too late, rationally avoiding medical attention because they couldn't afford it--just as the Free Market solution intended. That was before Obamacare. I don't know anyone who died from lack of medical attention after the President signed the ACA. Thanks Obama!
speaking as an ACA navigator (and i'm with a very aggressive advocacy org), i'm hopeful that 2017 is in place and can't be fucked with. we're urging everyone to sign up no matter what.

There's a place in Austin called Foundation Communities that helps with ACA. I was going to call them tomorrow and see what I could work out. My income is $1,007 a month so I should get a subsidy.
Were I a good Christian, I'd say something like "forgive them, father, for they know not what they do"
As an atheist other sentiments are tempting. Sympathy would be so much easier if it was just them being hurt, but their little temper tantrum at being asked to share the country is going to hurt millions who never did anything to deserve it.
Meh, Obamacare hasn't done anything positive for me—I've been paying the penalty rather than paying for lousy mandatory coverage that I still can't practically afford to use on $9/hr. I'm on board with contributing to a system that benefits others, but my imposed contribution level has been too high and my amount of benefit derived too low given my meager income. In my personal experience, Obamacare places too high of a burden on healthy low-income individuals who can't really afford to bear it.
I'm planning to ask my doctor if she can get me a 12 month supply of my medication, because it's $375/month without insurance.

Thanks! We appreciate it, we really do. This place matters to us.

Anyone feel sorry for those people?

speaking as a health care navigator, i'm losing both my job and my insurance.

Nope. They voted for it.
Cally, I'm 69, and now missing my ascending colon because cancer. It is, for real, now very unlikely that I will live to see a woman become POTUS.
Please plan to witness that, on my behalf. Thanks for your great efforts, and take care of yourself (and your doggies).
I'd say more like Reagan. Drumpf will just wander around "being Donald", and the coterie will run things (into the ground).
IN-LAWS???
