How much damage from Obamacare?

[DavieD55]

Many people are blinded by the BS and don't understand that this is meant to be a failure. Considering how gullible the American people have become nowadays they will expect the same people who brought us this monstrosity to fix it too... Unless many states band together and nullify it we're fukt!

My employer is self-funded. The plan I'm on now is being cancelled, next year the plan won't be nearly as good and it will cost the same, I might get a discount because of my excellent health.

If only 6 people actually signed up for ACA, how much damage could there be?

Six was the first day.

By the way, to meet their goal, they have to sign up 39,000 every day from now to the end of March.

We count our blessings that my wife's insurance is self funded by the hospital group she works for - Centura - and our costs are minimal if we stay in network. I do have to pay a little more for an office visit as my Doc is now out of network, but that's a small price to pay. My super awesome Ortho guy and one other Doc I see twice a year are both in network.

^^ Us, too. My wife works for a Centura hospital and we have excellent and very affordable coverage that is O'care compliant. I hope it stays that way.

Millions of Americans were surprised to learn this month that their insurance companies won’t renew their expiring private health plans next year, despite President Obama’s frequent assurances that people who liked their coverage could keep it. What’s mostly been lost in the well-documented outrage over the cancellations is that they’re a feature, not a bug, of the Affordable Care Act. Some policies are being canceled because the law is doing precisely what it was meant to do: create an insurance market where Americans share the cost of getting sick more broadly....

...It wouldn’t have been hard to explain. “Ideally they’re changing into a plan that’s going to provide greater value over time,” says Elaine Corrough, a fellow at the Society of Actuaries who consults with insurance companies and medical providers, “and, frankly, that’s going to allow more people to be covered.”
Although it’s a small percentage, the group represents millions of people who took the president at his word that their coverage would not have to change. Martin Klein, a 54-year-old psychologist in Fairfield, Conn., got a notice from Anthem in September that his health plan is being discontinued because it doesn’t meet the ACA’s standards. Klein, who describes himself as liberal and says he supports universal health insurance, nonetheless blames Obama for a reform that will drive his premiums up. He says the new plans he can buy all have higher deductibles for rates as much or more than the $554 a month he pays now.

“If he told the truth, I would not have voted for him,” Klein says of Obama. “This is hurting my family.”

*break break*
So you want universal health care but you don't want to pay more-should have gotten a degree in economics not psychology...dumbass

Figures the dumbarse is a psychologist. Stupid fsck is getting what he deserves but unfortunately, a lot of clearer-thinking people are getting something they DON'T deserve.

Health insurance does not equal access to Health care.

When will they figure this out?

It's beyond my comprehension how they got away calling this the Affordable CARE Act when it is only insurance, and certainly not affordable.
