My Health Insurance Went Up $300/m Because Of Obamacare!!!!

Not surprising, but you fail to accurately describe my background. I have voted for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents depending on the candidate. Not sure what "creationism type beliefs" you believe I hold. While I have read/studied the Bible in religion classes as an undergrad. and enjoyed the classes, I am not particularly religious and don't attend church. (no problem with those who do). I have undergrad. degrees in Biology and Accounting and later earned an MBA. After working as a CPA for years, I have witnessed how difficult it is for small business owners. The tax burden can be overwhelming. However, the personal attacks - while ignoring the problems with the ACA - don't surprise me.when cons say this kind of sh*t they look like idiots - if you are wrong, you are wrong and deserve to be bashed. stop acting like your creationism type beliefs about economics, war, and human relationships hold any merit; they don't and deserve no respect. I would classify myself as a libertarian, and wish I could vote for a republican, but as teenager put so well, they have moved into the mental ward!

this is how the left thinks wrote:

I am correct in observing that Obama and the Democrats are more interested in destroying others than creating an environment in which high quality healthcare can become affordable

No. You are correct in BELIEVING that.

That's because Obama is a fcuking as$

hole and all those who support his socialist big govt ideaology.

Obama is center right, but keep up your delusional thoughts

My brother is self-employed and not only did his premiums increase substantially, his out of pocket costs have skyrocketed, and his doctor, as well as his children's pediatrician don't accept his plan.

The only "winners" were the ones who expect the taxpayers to pay their premiums by getting a "subsidy" - in other words, another "freebie" from the hardworking, productive taxpayer.

Your brother gets a massive subsidy in the form of dozens of tax breaks that apply ONLY to those who have kids. Why should I, a single male with no children, pay MORE than he does? He's already getting a subsidy I don't.

BAMA said there would be CHANGE!

I am a small business who started with nothing 21 years ago. I know have 41 employees. I am drastically affected by Obamacare and so are my employees.

Please let us know how you are drastically affected.

It's working. No one in this country should have to go to an emergency room for primary care, and no one should go bankrupt because they got sick. We have to take care of each other, because the truth is that when we let our fellow Americans fall through the cracks, it brings the rest of us down. We have to have a base level of quality of life that no American falls beneath. It's not a poltical issue, it's one of morality.

Also when the vast majority of our citizens have at the bare minimum decent healthcare and are not falling through the cracks, it will be economically beneficial in the long run.

False. Ask any healthcare worker for info on why it will not save money.

It's ridiculous how uninformed the media makes us.

I could have saved money by going on the exchange but I would have lost my doctor and my network would have been severly limited so I decided to pay extra.

This is the only part of your rant you needed to post.

thanks for playing - You may be in for a rude awakening the next time you get sick and have to drive 50 miles to get treatment. Or have to pay for out of network treatment. No doctors or dentists in my town are participating in Obamacare. This is the new Obamacare reality in rural areas if you earn too much to get Medicaid.

Whose fault is that? Why aren't they parcitcipating in obamacare (tell me cuz I genuinely don't know)? And from what I know bamacare seems to be working in blue states and not working in red states where the governors seem to be doing anything to stop it from working

My insurance policy was dropped due to Obamacare, it said so right in the letter that the insurance company sent me. To get a plan on the exchange, my rate would have more than doubled, and I would have no access to any doctor nearby. Is that truthful enough for you? I was lucky enough to get a full time job where I have company insurance, but if I hadn't, I am not sure what I would have done. Obamacare drastically affected me by taking away a good plan that I chose to have and forcing me to pay for services that I would never ever use.

You were already paying for services that you would never ever use. Even now, you're probably paying for services that you will never ever use.

OP,

I lost my health insurance because of Obamacare and now I pay $200 more a month for health insurance.

Obama is a joke.

I'm with you. I don't know anybody who lost their coverage or had it go up. Mine personally didn't go up or down. It remains the same. No changes for me, my family, or anyone I know, but if I turn on the AM radio, all I hear is how this law is ending with America, how it is a job killer, how bad Americans are suffering under this president yada, yada, yada. While Obama hasn't been the perfect president, personally my life under this administration is better than under any other. I make more money that I ever have. My stocks are doing better than ever. I live in a comfortable home, have a good job, pay my taxes, have no debt, take vacations every year and am able to save money for my future. Life is good. It wasn't like this under the last administration. I almost lost my job in 2008 and most surely would have had the economy remained on the same path as it was when Bush left office.

I'm not an Obama lover by any means, but I have to say my life is good under his administration. Got to give credit where credit is due.

You're not a libertarian, nice try. I'm a libertarian and know other libertarians, and none think that the ACA was a good idea. Go to any libertarian page on Facebook...you won't find any of them defending any part of the ACA. The fact that you defended a neoliberal in a thread about the ACA is a sure fire sign you are not a libertarian. Libertarians want LESS government in people's lives, not more (which is what the ACA is.)

I know you're trying to pretend to be libertarian so it looks like people who are traditionally "middle of the road" lean left, but sorry, no one is buying it.

No one is buying the mostly fabricated right wing spin either. Most intelligent people know that the mainstream conservative faction in this country has become extremely conservative and religious, and the democrats aren't really that liberal anymore

Obamacare is a Ponzi scheme and liberals are anti-American socialist retards who should shoot themselves
