6 Million in 6 months
 

Thank you America for the Affordable Care Act.

I can visualize the mother being able to take her child to her doctor on a scheduled appointment. This WILL speed up the time spent in emergency rooms for true emergencies.

This humanitarian act took less than 6 months. We humans are slowly becoming more Humane.

golfingnut, I agree
 

could not agree more

I think this country has been humane way before the Affordable care Act. Through my lifetime, I can not write down all the humane help we have given, from the United States of America! We Americans have always been Humane. Just my point of view.

ditto

NOTE

From the OP.
WE HUMANS ARE SLOWLY BECOMING MORE HUMANE.

Thank you Golfingnut.

April Fools! Good one think ing Obamacare has something to do with healthcare.

Boy Howdy!

I would never use saving lives as a joke. The ACA is a wonderful thing for millions of our fellow Americans, especially the poor and the children.

6.56 million gets insurance cancelled. 6 million allegedly signed up. Traffic last couple days surged to check the opt box created last week to avoid the mandate. Nice work.

Methinks some folks are in denial or perhaps there just in a trolling mood?

I got to get ready for golf now.

I am so sorry you think that is true.:sad:

So agree Golfingnut.

Know quite a few on minimum wage that can't afford and won't sign up..costs less to pay the "fine" that will be levied to "punish" those that didn't sign on the dotted line. All of you on medicare can rest easy...

Not true.:read:

Millions more than those have been dropped because of Obamacare. So because of ACA millions of Americans are now uninsured!

Sorry, not true.

I'll be paying the fine thank you very much.

Exactly

Hey golfing nut.....How do feel about Veterans applications for assistance being shredded to "clear" the backlog. I guess it's OK to screw those who served with us right?

:agree:

Lou:

i just love the way you start something. that could be political, without taking it over the edge. :smiley:

"I've always depended on the kindness of strangers".

Yes, let's force Americans to buy health insurance (oh, that's right.....it is a Tax according to the US S.Court) or fine them if they CHOOSE not to purchase.

Sounds like a vampire needing fresh young blood.

For the people that like Obamacare.............have them pay for it (and for those who can not afford it).

Virginia has had a plan in use for many years that take care of the all the poor children for free. We did this and didn't have to ruin health care for all the rest.

Lou. I know you are a kind and good person, but not everyone agrees with this controversial subject. You may believe with every fiber of your being that it is the right thing to do, but not everyone thinks this is the best answer.


Your feelings will be hurt.


And you will get angry at people who can't help believing the way they believe.


We are a bunch of stubborn old-er people who at our age aren't likely to change our minds. AND we all believe that we know what is right.


This subject is very inflammatory. I can't believe this thread is left to stand.

Thank you. I tear up when I think about what this law does for so many.

I also tear up when I read the untrue spin on this wonderful law.

I commit here and now to apologize from the gazebo in the Square at Lake Sumter if this law turns out to be anything but helpful to the young and the poor of this great country. I also worry about the cost to all of us as individuals and the country as a whole. I sincerely believe this is the moral and financial approach to the medical care problems so many unfortunate poor and young people face every day.

true that Gracie. I'm for taking care of those who through no fault of their own get sick and need coverage. We already have this in place for those who seek it. Wealth redistribution is what Obamacare is all about. Tax credits not deductions is what this is all about.

Do I hear the mating sound of a vulpine creature? I doubt if vulpine creatures would have been in favor of Social Security or Medicare at their inception but now fight tooth and nail for every penny of their benefit.

:BigApplause::BigApplause:

Most of the posters criticizing this law, probably prefer the single-payer socialized medicine, commonly known as Medicare. The majority does support the ACA in case anyone missed the big poll taken in 2012.

This could get ugly real fast. You're either pro this plan or not. I personally do not support it. It's wrong to mandate what people do for health care. I chose to ignore the nonsense.

No, I will not be hurt, the maximum hurt has been done to me already. Everything in my future will be positive. I will not get angry any more, I know it's not their fault, it's their misunderstanding. I will forgive them of their misunderstandings. I have said many times on this site that my Hero is Jesus Christ; therefore I will follow his teachings by both turning the other cheek and giving to the needy.

Love
Lou

Great Britain avg wait is 197 days for doctors appt, similar to Canada. Do this call your doctor here in the villages about your health concern and guess where they'll tell you to go because the schedule is booked: the emergency room.

And they said the same about Medicare years ago and the same for Plan D... I'm happy we finally have "something" on the books to help those who need health care. I hope in the coming years our nation will expand and streamline our healthcare programs so that everyone (not just us oldsters) have reasonable and affordable coverage.

We already have something on the books. Health clinics, Medicaid are all available now. Obamacare in the form of tax credits is redistribution from one individual to others.

Very long waits in Austria where income tax is fifty percent.


Friend in Netherlands was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to wait three months for surgery. Meanwhile the little cancer cells are growing, growing, growing and traveling, traveling, traveling.


Socialized medicine is not what we are used to. But I guess we will have to get used to it.


My husband worked long hours and stayed with a company through very difficult bosses so that we could have the excellent health benefits that Helene's life depended on. Everyone makes sacrifices to protect their loved ones. At least everyone used to. Now fathers don't even marry mothers and there are multiple parents who do not look out for the lives of many children brought into the world.


It is no shame to be poor, and many cannot help themselves out of it. But some can. Many of our immigrant parents and grandparents did. Those of us who can afford to care for those who cannot care for themselves have an ethical responsibility to share their wealth. However the welfare system is so abused that it is a mockery and an enabling agent for many who use illegal drugs to live comfortably and pay for their habit with welfare funds.


Now perhaps this thread will be closed.

:thumbup:

This is a "no win" thread. You are either for it or against it - nothing in between and it is becoming political real fast!

Well, the 6 million that have it now is a giant leap for mankind for what the MAJORITY fasted for and won in 2010. The only thing left is whether it works or not. I am putting my belief on it working. Let's not fight, about it, let's all join in the hope that it does work.

I'm not sure if this post is made in jest. Quoting a 2012 poll on ACA just goes to show how illiterate the average American really is. They don't read and most don't even listen to news on television. As usual, they don't know much of anything about anything until it hurts them personally. As the current polling shows, it now is beginning to hurt. March 6, 2014 Gallup polling shows the number of Americans disapproving to be 55% and 40% approving. In a way watching this disaster unfold has been quite comical. Listening to the excuses reminds me of the days of Baghdad Bob.

Number of Americans Saying ACA Has Hurt Them Inches Up

Sorry but I hope it will be a total failure that needs to be rescinded
