Now either refute my findings on this eleventh hour,
Okay, as far as I can tell, these are your findings. These are your facts.
Somehow, you're to have me believe (based on ?) that a family that has a bunch of health issuescome up is going to have copays and deductubles, of several thousand dollars. The concept of trading premium price for deductible in insurance is nothing new with Obamacare. I for one am all for that. Copays are also nothing new. I am also all for copays that are at least high enough to make people think a little bit about taking a doctors valuable time because they have the sniffles, while also helping defray the cost of everyone's premiums.
NOW! I'm here to put it to you young man, that everyone will pay for it.
Everyone will be on the hook for premiums some more than others of course, but we will all be responsible for our Copays, CoIns, and Deductibles. Do you honestly think that a family making 75K combined can really afford to go to a Doctor for something they think would be routine, under the assumption that they are paying their monthly premiums, then get blind sided by a $3,000 bill for the hospital, $500 for this tech, $500 for that lab, $500 for some mysterious Doctor that you don't remember even being in the mix.But yet! Amazingly enough, Your Doctor that poor bastard all he got out of you was a measly $50 company, and is the only son of a bitch you are even aware of that performed the procedure. He did all of the fucking work and only got $50. Yet you'll see up to $4500 or more in bills nobody can verify are actually honest and justly due.
OBama and others note the need to bring health care costs down. I can see a common sense benefit of getting everyone covered, before being able to have some standardization of pricing.
Maybe I'm overly optimistic. But no, I'm just smart enough to see how it works out before judging it.

I hope you like chocolate, on your crow pie.
I feel sorry for your mother, but on the other hand please encourage her to register as a Republican. That way if the Republicans win she can have Cantors and Ryans Republican health care plan. You know, the one where we give seniors a voucher of up to $600 a month so they can shop for the best plan available to them that will probably costs $1500 a month. That will save the rest of us taxpayers a lot of money (sic).

So our health's fate is in the same Idiot logic that we chose Presidents now?
Which plan is the least fucked up?
You must be new, I've said all along for once when it comes to the Idiot Left....
You're God Damn RIGHT! Nothing is better than this.

In spite of what you Liberals like to think, not all baby boomers are loaded filthy rich greedy bastards, that spent the 80's raiding corporate bank accounts, and shoving it into their IRAs.
She lives on a fixed income of $1200 a month in Social Security. She has voted all her life as a Democrat, because it's been the Democrats todate that have made damn sure that Seniors would be provided for their golden years.
My Mom called yesterday and said her SS check was $400 less this month. She was hysterical, $800 is not enough for her to even pay her rent and lights. $1200 has barely cut it, every month one of us siblings have to send her a little extra money to help her make ends meet.
She called today, and was informed that the State of Florida has been covering her part B payments, but Rick Scott put a stop to that a few months ago, to put on a show that he is expanding Medicare as per Obamacare legislation.
SO this month they deducted 3 months of part B premiums from her check. Now going forward her SS payments will be $120 less every month.
Health Care Affordability MY ASS!!!
I doubt there will be one single Senior Citizen Democrat voter in the state of Florida come midterms next year.
Or any voter who will get the sticker shock from bills they didn't expect, after they redeem of that good ole fashioned Obamacare starting in January. People who will think being insured will mean not seeing a bill. Will be afflicted with the GOP voter syndrome.
OK Now is your turn to blame everyone else but the guy who promised affordable healthcare. The GOP needs fixing and all that. Bring it on, you damn fools bring it on.
