ACA: My Experience


I'll keep this brief. Yesterday I had a nodule surgically removed at Hackensack University Medical Center. I'm fine. The biopsy said it was benign. MY POINT: I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD the GYN appointment that found the nodule, the mammograms, the ultrasounds, the surgical consult, the history and physical by my primary physician and lab tests for clearance, the cardiology consult, the stress test, the anesthesiology, the surgery itself, and the follow-up consult with pathology report WITHOUT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. I would have been bankrupt or denied medical service without ability to finance my care. My personal experience is enough for me to advocate for others to either continue the ACA, improve it, or REPEAL AND REPLACE WITH SINGLE PAYOR INSURANCE (a/k/a Medicare for All)

More and more government. We get it. Nice added bouncy that you would have been denied care and gone bankrupt.

7 years ago i had no health insurance and went to the ER because my heart was beating too fast. At first they thought i had a heart attack but luckily i was ok. Doctor forced me to lose weight.

Moral of the story was my bill was 10,000 dollars and the social worker at the hospital worked with me and i paid 0. Catholic Charity picked up my bill.  That why i get pissed when DUmmies say you will go broke if you go to the doctor or to the ER. They will work with you to figure things out if you can't pay.

As long as you are the person paying on your single payer insurance, then I have no problems with it.  If you expect me to pay for you, then not so much.

What did the useless and now expensive DUchebag pay for a deductible?

Kind of an important piece of the bouncy that proves it is a bouncy.

Bingo! If the DU-member could afford a plan with a low deductible, then the DU-member could afford the office visit and surgery.

These idiots have no idea how many people were told by their insurance company; "sorry, the ACA makes your plan null and void....have a nice day".  :hammer:

That's me. I had my own plan since 2002. Yes it had gone up but my age went up to. First year of Obama HellCare my premiums went up 40+/-%. The next year it was canceled. The closest plan of Obama HellCare was almost double with a more than doubled deductible. But hey I got eyecare of the kids I don't have. The democrat-media swept the 7 million people that lost their plans that first year and counted them as newly insured under HellCare.

The primitive was either newly covered by Medicare under Obamacare and paid the max deductible (Part A free with 40 credits and Part B max $134/mo), or they got a fully subsidized (or almost fully subsidized) policy with a zero (or very, very low) deductible.

No doubt they paid almost nothing. IOW, the primitive is a mooch.

Same thing happened to me when I was hospitalized for emergency gallbladder surgery. I did not have insurance, and I was unemployed at the time. The doctor did the work Pro-Bono. It was a Catholic hospital, and, like you, a Catholic charity paid my hospital bill.

Hospitals will work with you to pay your bill as well. My BF has a payment plan set up with the ER he went to for his back. He pays them 25.00/month.

Most DUmmies that claim to be benefiting from the ACA are simply on full Medicaid. No premiums and no copays.
