NOTHING!!! Except a quicker road to bankruptcy when they find out that $6000 has to be paid by them for their NEW FREE Obamacare...
Nobody thinks Obamacare is free (except maybe some ultra right-wing idiots), and everyone is aware that some policies have deductibles. It's VERY clearly spelled out, in a huge font, on the exchange websites.

BenghaziCare is either free or not free!
If it's free, then ZOMG WELFARE WELFARE WHO WILL PAY FOR THIS COMMUNISM FASCISM WHERE'S MAH GUN?!
If it's not free, then ZOMG GUMMINT TAKE ALL MAH MUNNAH COMMUNISM SOCIALISM FASCISM WHERE'S MAH GUN?!
Get the difference?
This is just not going to work. I predict that the ACA will be repealed. Even the libs are not this stupid, er ah I hope?
Seeing as how the GOP basically stopped doing whatever it is they did before and just spent the past 4 years trying to repeal it and failed Its clearly not going anywhere. When even the tea party and various wing-nut sites stop posting "repeal Obamacare!" stories you know the game is over. The GOP has long moved onto other time-wasting efforts.

If you're happy with your Obamcare plan you can keep it.
Huh? Huh? Yeah?
When even the tea party and various wing-nut sites stop posting "repeal Obamacare!" stories you know the game is over.
Maybe they can start holding up "Get your government hands off my Medicare" signs again like the ones I saw back in the day.

IMO opinion the ACA is a country ending event not quickly or soon but slowly and surely, it will end this country. You don't think so, but you ARE economically illiterate.
I'm actually waiting for the "Keep you GOP hands off my Obamacare" signs come next election season. Self employed folks showing up with one of those signs at a Republican rally is the GOPs worst nightmare.

I would be careful with the words "nobody" and "everyone".... There are NUMEROUS examples so far where that ain't true...
So, @ call it crazy, you've played twenty questions w/my new health care coverage - let's hear your story. Is it provided through your employer, therefore you don't have to worry about it?
Is it a terrible rate increase due to the ACA if you're self-employed?
Are you firmly planted in the 1 percent and don't care what it costs?
Do tell.

Not my problem if you don't know how to read what you're signing up for.

Did you zone out again, Cap'n? You and Call it Quits are the ones who seem to be worried, not me.

I'm not worried...
Yes you are. You wrote this:
Have you had to change your doctor or hospital selection on this plan and what else changed in coverage on your plan?
worried
and this:
a quicker road to bankruptcy when they find out that $6000 has to be paid by them for their NEW FREE Obamacare...
worried

Yep, those multi-thousand dollar deductibles are a bitch!!
worried
And who's going to be paying for the Millennials who don't have insurance now when they get older?
worried
Virtually everything you're written here shows that you're worried. Then you write that you're not worried. WTF?
You're the one doing all the name calling...
Buh?

Yes, you're worried that there will be high deductibles, that people will have to change doctors, that they won't be able to afford to pay for treatment, that they won't understand the policy they're signing up for, etc.
You are aware of the definition of "worried", are you not?
By the way, in English we only use one question mark or one exclamation point at the end of a sentence. Sometimes, people may use multiple ones in order to make a particular sentence stand out, but when you do it in every sentence, it makes no sense.

Wow, you're more twisted in the head then I originally thought!!
Mmm hmm - whatever you say, sweetie.
I hope YOUR Obamacare policy covers mental illness!!
ALL Obamacare policies cover mental illness. That was part of the reform. Not sure if you need it, though - is mental retardation considered an illness? You know, there are other places to get information besides Fox News.

O.K., Call it Quits - it's time to move on from grammar to logic.
See, if you would stop your love fest for Obama and take these off once and a while, you would see the true reality...
Wait, so the guy who ADMITTED that he was married to the proposition that Obamacare would fail, before it even became law, and who will always hold that view no matter what the evidence, is claiming that I'm looking through colored glasses?
(And here is where I use multiple punctuation marks to make this one sentence stand out):
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay Classy Homeputz.
I'm not the one who has an irrational insane hatred of the president just because he's black.

No, but it pays debts that need to be paid an any given point in a generational cycle. With this in tow, this particular ponzi scheme has the capability to live forever.
The number of monetary units is irrelevant. Printing money does not create wealth.

I'd like to put forth a comprehensive coordinated statement of fact, but marcus has me ignored...
Wow. We finally agree...
Dan doesn't seem to realize
What further indication is required that you are both wrong?

But the great majority of those who signed up did indeed pay up, and we now have multiple independent surveys — from Gallup, the Urban Institute and the Commonwealth Fund — all showing a sharp reduction in the number of uninsured Americans since last fall.
