zybathegeek Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 This chart indicates why young people 27+ are not signing up for ObamaCare. The chart speaks for the reasons why. Seniors are not impressed either... Obamacare is certainly not popular amongst the general population as well. Is it because we are too stupid to know what is good for us? Politicians and diapers should be changed often and regularly, invariably for the same reason. ______________________________________________________________ "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

mlhm5 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Obamacare is the Heritage Foundations solution for health care in the USA and now they are pretending that they never had anything to do with it. The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard, and the shallow end is much too large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zybathegeek Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Obamacare is the Heritage Foundations solution for health care in the USA and now they are pretending that they never had anything to do with it. Finish your sentence please. While parts of Heritage Foundation form the basis of the Frankenstein bill known as ObamaCare, the rest is pure Democrat wishlist, gerrymandering, and ideological input. They own it. Now the worst is happening, the very people needed by Obamacare to survive - the young contributors - are avoiding this like the plague, no amount of rhetoric will save it.

Young people don't ever think they will get sick. The simple point is that the key to Obamacare’s success isn’t getting young people to sign up. It’s getting healthy people to sign up.

Best you do some research on age related health actuarial tables, before spending more time defending this financial fiasco.

dreamcaster Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 The aca is not about reducing the overall costs of healthcare, it is about means testing and subsidies. It does nothing to help some folks, if anything it hurts them, my policy went up >$600 for this year, which is about a typical increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamlet Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 A single payer would have reduced overall health care costs. Obamacare is a reward to private enterprise. so would many other things. Competition, for example. Or the consumer being forced to shop and pay attention to price, for example. Single payer is the "its lower because I say its lower approach". It also leads to reduced quality and rationing via committee (as opposed to rationing via the choices of the individual being served). "Single payer would reduce costs" is similar to saying "staying home cuts travel expenses". True, but not useful. I won't tolerate your intolerance, because I hate hate.

Right, only paying health care providers for 50% of billed services will make things better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltydawg Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 A single payer would have reduced overall health care costs. Obamacare is a reward to private enterprise. Yes it would. It has been proven. A single payer system is cheaper and the rationed healthcare is why. So if, as a first-world country, we want to go backward and get a fraction of the care we have now, we should move to a single payer system. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it named the Affordable Care Act if the intention was not to reduce overall costs? So what you're saying is that "affordable" really means "redistribution" Lying bastages. America, the country so great that even its haters refuse to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're saying is that "affordable" really means "redistribution" Lying bastages. Under Obamacare, your income (can afford) and age (young are healthy) have a big affect on the amount of money you pay for a comprehensive policy. So for most people making $75K a year their pricing structure won't change unless they were buying one of those catastrophic policies where they only thought everything was covered.

Kings over Queens Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I for the life of me don't understand why some people not only feel it's acceptable, but almost embrace, having the government tell them which type of health insurance they should carry. Can you not think for yourself, and if you can't, is it too much to ask that you stay the **** out of the business of people, like me, who can? #otterlivesmatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
