WHat we need is some ACA success stories


Still waiting............
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

WHat we need is some ACA success stories

Umm, Dumbass? Don't you think that, if there were (un)Affordable Care Act success stories, the Empty Suit in the White House would use them as props....err, have them on stage with him while he gives a speech?

That can only be determined when we finally have a confirmed success story.  So Far we have NONE!

Actually from everything I've heard and read? NY/NJ are supposed to come down rate-wise, but as someone put it "those States have been so over-regulated for years now" that the rates are supposed to come down. The problem for the Democrats is this, the rates are supposed to go up high in most States, and when the mid-terms come around? people in those States will vote with their wallets.

I've heard that, too.  I'll believe it when I see it. ::) :whistling:

Premiums always go down when deductibles go up.   Right?   :thatsright:

Just went through my open enrollment at work, guess this is my Obamacare "success story:"  Last year was $111 a paycheck for a family of five w/ a "platinum" HSA, Vision on myself and wife, dental for all, etc....  This year is $133 since I added on my oldest to the vision, also changed the company sponsored life insurance, but that was a freebee.  So what's the success in all of this? Obama didn't manage to double my premium like so many other workers.  I set my bar pretty low.

Not trying to be nosy.  I was just trying to figure out how much a year you had pay and if your employer paid for yours or a portion of it.  I worked for a large company that had great insurance.  They paid the employees' part.  I think one reason it was so cheap was because they got a good rate with so many employees.

I think it's great that so many democrats will be hit with these crazy mandatory premiums at the same time they're being cut to 29 hours.

Most democrats are on the Medicaid dole, but the few who work are going to be crushed.

They're going to enjoy the full effect of the magical negro.

I found one success story on twitchy, it seems that Patti Davis the leftist daughter of Reagan was asking why she lost her policy.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.
