https://www.healthcare.gov/ Now OPEN - Cheap insurance

Just posting to make sure you know about the issue that if your employer offers "affordable" coverage it would make you ineligible. That is screwing me from getting the subsidy since they think ~$85 a month for a 23 year old that doesn't smoke, drink, doesn't take unnecessary risks and has only bad acid reflex is affordable to someone making $8 an hour. So I have to buy it through the exchange at full price, cut my pay to make under $15,800 a year to be eligible for medicaid, buy it through my employer, or pay the penalty tax.

You have no idea what you are talking about? How can you say this is something good when our politicians exempt them self from it. When unions are not supporting it. When company after company ( Disney, Walgreens ) are offering less hours to their employees just not to pay for their medical benefits. When every single person that had medical insurance before has to pay more under obamacare for same or less benefits. Do you pay less now? Please tell us how you do it, maybe you found the sweet spot. Before if you could not afford the healthcare was ok. Now you gotta pay a fine.

CNN is an entertainment company too by that definition, as is ESPN, so is NBC which blasts news. Your point? You're adorable, but not too bright. As far as the facts go, I have checked. The increases and horrible economic effects are indeed true. Hell, I know several people who are going to have their premiums go up by over double, and one guy who's losing his job because his employer needs to keep it under 50 full-time.

What state are you in?

Um, what?? Please provide some proof to back up this statement.

I'm not quoting CNN, ESPN, or NBC. You're the one quoting entertainment companies as "news". Grab a mirror and chat with that.

Is that insurance subsidized by your employer? I don't know of ANY Blue Cross plan that's $63/mo a lacarte. Enlighten me with actual facts and details of this magical plan you have now for $63.

Quoted for truth. You can find this kind of info all over the internet and cable news, but people are just that ignorant somehow that they buy whatever tripe is thrown out at them as sound-bites.

More misinformation. This doesn't change health care, just how it's paid for. Under the old system, I was already waiting 3 months for an appointment with Blue Cross.

You mean premiums that are from 70%-300% higher for most working Americans is more affordable, and that's those who aren't just losing their jobs or hours due to the huge cost to employers if they have 50+ "full-time" workers?

But hey, keep dreaming that dream as American power is shipped overseas, and he negotiates with the Iranian regime instead of Republicans in Congress!

what A$$ backwards thinking is that. Go look at European countries or Canada where you pay higher taxes and everyone gets medical. Are you telling me you want to only see people who have money and can afford insurance to get treatment and the rest of the suckers just die. I have amazing farking insurance right now for dirt cheap..... I call it the Cadillac plan aka Gold (actually tempted to look into the platinum plan aka Bentley through obamacare ). When I was in high school at the age of 17 my family was not doing that well financially and we had some sort of medicare medicaid chip program.

Either way when i was literally about to die and puking up my guts. We went into the ER 10 hours later and after an immediate CT scan they gave me 2 hours to live due to an inflamed appendix (Appendicitis) that is on the verge of rupturing. I had that sucker yanked out right away and went on to complete college at Mizzou with 2 degrees working at a Fortune Top 50 investment bank with an awesome insurance policy (apparently I earned the right to insurance which I had a long farking time ago in Canada as a kid).

I would not want anyone who does not have access to medical treatment to experience the pain of an inflamed appendix. I would not want anyone's appendix to burst I don't care how much you abuse the system or ask for freebies / handouts. There is a human thing to do and a ruthless thing to do. What you are saying is flat out ruthless that "everyone doesn't have a right to healthcare" . My family would technically have no right to insurance when I was in high school and with your thinking I would have never made it to first day of college. Now how the fark am I suppose to try and be a contributing member of society if I can't even get my appendix look at since my family did not earn the right to insurance

They aren't an entertainment company, son . No more than CNN, NBC, ABC, etc. are. That was my point, but I guess you're too enamored with HOPE AND CHANGE to use your brain before spewing drivel that is nonsensical.
