OT: Health insurance

[krw]

I'm sure you do. You are a common loser, after all.

It's a shame you can't even spell "Obama", though. Perhaps you should go to a re-education camp. You'd love it.

that's what you radicals would love, put everyone that disagrees with you in "re-education" camps, give them striped uniforms, make them work for little or nothing and then give them a free cremation when you've used them up

We're no longer together. Was fun while it lasted.

The only problem is, who do you think the suckers are going to be who will be paying for most of the newly insured? It's the same folks already paying high prices, one way or another, for healthcare.

I've seen nothing under Obamacare that changes any of that. There were a lot of vague promises about how it was all going to save a lot of costs. But in reality, people's costs have escalated. And despite being assured that anyone that had insurance and was happy with it, they could keep it, nothing would change, well a lot have learned that isn't true. People have either seen their policy costs go up, their companies drop or lessen coverage, etc. Now many people are starting to see their work hours cut to 29.5, so the companies won't have to provide insurance. So, those poor bastards still don't have company provided insurance, but now they have less pay.

One would think so, with a reasonable plan but this atrocity puts the costs onto those who can least afford it; the young. Those just out of school (and paying for the loans the government is pushing on them) will bear the burden of the older, richer people, as well as the bums.

Since the young tend to be leftists, maybe this isn't a complete nightmare. Maybe they'll learn.

You can't educate a leftist. They won't listen.

Good points. And I see Massachusetts costs are still rising. There are some benefits, but the goal of *reducing* costs have still not been met.
