If so many people have signed up for obamacare, why are there still 30 million uninsured?

All some of us want is reasonable cost of reasonable health care (being very careful to stay away from "affordaable"). There will always be those who can't afford it no matter what. Are you willing to pay for theirs? There will always be those who do not want it whether they can afford it or not. Very many folks would rather spend the money on something else and then let the hand out system work when they need something. And as far as those who are illegal....of course they can have it if they pay for it.....at least can get a subsidy. Oh, I guess we are paying for it....eh? The old system was working as well or better than anything since. Instead of fixing that part of health care that was working, why not come up with something for those who don't have any. Nope...we are forced to fix it all and it is now on it's way to being all |

The old system didn't work for me. I have a pre-existing condition.

The old system was if you get sick, just show up at the emergency room and we'll let the hospitals eat the loss.

the old system worked quite effectively for most of the population. Yes it did contain and generated high cost health care.
And of course SOME with pre existing conditions had difficulty finding reasonable coverage (it was available). And who said the ACA was going to eliminate the glut of uninsured at the emergency room. Those that do not have or do not want to pay for health care will continue to do so. And some forget to note that I did specifically state FIX the parts of health care that needed fixing. Using the word universal makes for pretty (they think) speeches. It also is a platform for the single payer system the current aministration wants and is moving toward. There STILL has been nothing done to get the ever rising costs and abuse of health care charges under some control. Remember the $500,000,000 cost reduction in medicare that was going to offset some of the cost of ACA? How are we doing against that farsical commitment? |

I understand that it is a pretty safe bet that the WH will indeed grant this exception. Other sites are reporting that democrats in congress got their ears and this will happen to prevent a lot of shock...
"Hypocrisy: If ObamaCare is so great, why do Democrats repeatedly try to hide its more unpleasant features? The latest example is their desperate effort to grant still more exemptions to the law's individual mandate. This week, three House Democrats who helped usher ObamaCare through that chamber — Sander Levin, Jim McDermott, and Lloyd Doggett — sent a plea to the White House, asking it to grant the uninsured another chance to enroll. Their concern: Millions who are about to file taxes will learn they owe a penalty — sorry, "shared responsibility payment" — for not having coverage. At the same time, they'll be out of luck getting coverage this year, since open enrollment is already closed. Which means they will owe a far bigger penalty next year, when it more than doubles. "Without a special enrollment period, many people (who will be paying fines) will not have another opportunity to get coverage this year," the Democrats said in a statement. Boo hoo. When ObamaCare was put together, these same Democrats insisted that the law would only work if everyone were required to buy insurance. That's because ObamaCare bans insurance companies from denying the sick coverage or charging them more, thereby encouraging people to wait until after they get sick to buy insurance. As in states that had already tried these reforms, the result would be a death spiral of rising premiums.

I think it is quite un-American of the Democrats to want to renege on the provisions of the law that they passed. Now they want to "just say no" to a part of the bill they don't like and for which they are taking he** from their constituents! I hope they get their "butts" handed to them come the next election!
