Obamacare is DA BOMB! I Am On Cloud Nine!
I just got my mail delivery. Included was our family's approvals (as individuals) qualifying us for the Obamacare expansion of Medicaid (MSI - or MediCal here in CA) effective January 1, 2014.
What does that mean? It means that our family has health insurance under Medi-Cal, with the following costs:
Doctor visit - Co-pay $0
Emergency - Co-pay $0
Prescriptions - Co-Pay $0-$4
Prior to this, our family was on my wife's COBRA, which cost us over $400 a month. That COBRA ran out in September. My wife has a pre-existing condition: she is a breast cancer survivor of 8 years.
I have been out of work for almost 3 years. We have only my wife's income.
If not for Obamacare, our options would have been to go without insurance. To roll the dice, as it were.
The chances of us securing any kind of affordable insurance in the individual market with my wife's pre-existing condition were, well, nil.
Try being a father with a wife and two kids and no job these days, then tell me how Obamacare is worse than Hitler.
Were the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare in effect this year, it would have saved my family about $5000. That's no small change when you're unemployed and raising a family on a single, part-time income.
So thank you, THANK YOU President Obama, for laying it on the line and getting something done for people like me, people who never imagined that they would need the provisos of Medi-Cal back when Obamacare was being debated and enacted (ie: when I was working full time and had insurance through my job).
Oh, and all of you Republicants? You can go **** YOURSELVES!

I'm glad you are happy. People like me are paying for your healthcare. Here is thing that gets me... I'm paying for it, so shouldn't I be able to tell you what to eat, when to exercise, etc? No? You wouldn't like that? Well that is exactly what will happen when you get your single payer nirvana except it won't be me.
Hmmm. This is a DUmmy. How long before he welches on the insurance payments?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, welfare DUmmie. It's never a good idea to try and bite the hand that feeds you...Those are the ones they don't want to sign-up. They pay nothing.
The DUmmie should look up something called "Estate Recovery." But, he won't. He's a DUmmie. Hope it comes back to haunt him.

The pubbies are busy collecting Obamacare horror stories. The Dems need to counter with 10 stories like this for every one of theirs.
