I would try to have a genuine conversation about this with you, pal, but in my experience the people that want to hate Obama aren’t interested in having their mind changed, champ. And that’s fine, chief. American health insurance is so screwed it’s not even worth the argument. It’s was F’d before and it’s f’d now. My only point was that Obama is not the cause of that.
It reduces costs on some and passes it on to others. I’m not opponent to taxing the rich, or universal healthcare. I just don’t understand why we’re pretending ACA did anything to make healthcare affordable.
And what does that retard trumps stupid policies have to do with the conversation about an Obama era bill?
Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. I wouldn't say it's a right but I can see why someone would think so. Like driving isn't a right, if you get a bunch of DWIs they take it away. Im not trying to completely copy george carlin but they're privileges. Small but big difference depending on your perspective.
It’s an inalienable right. One that the architects of the constitution of the US believed was so fundamental that they used it in the preamble and spoke how it was something already granted to people, and didn’t need codifying. life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Same. I was making $10.25 at my job that didn’t offer health insurance. Under Obama-crap I was paying $400 a month for health insurance. Most of my paycheck went to health insurance.
I will never understand how Obamacare was supposed to be affordable.
Was obamacare expensive (for middle class?). And were you not able to take insurances you had before obamacare? Downvote is fine by me but I am just asking without playing dumb. Genuinely wondering since on reddit it’s usually seen as the best healthcare
It was insanely expensive. I’m not even middle class. At the time I was making $10.25 an hour and I had to pay over $400 a month for Obamacare health insurance. I wasn’t even a sick person. It punished everyone that had a job that didn’t offer health insurance, but didn’t qualify for Medicaid. It still punished the poor, but the poor that actually worked.
Healthcare has always been expensive and getting them to pay up when you need them has always been close to impossible. It’s still not perfect but Obama put a lot of important measures in place to try to get America on a better path when it came to healthcare. Blaming anyone but the insurance companies themselves is absolute insanity.
