Whats up with Obamacare?

Do you believe that decent comprehensive healthcare should be a luxury item, reserved for only the rich?

That’s a baffling position to take, at this point in history.

Airyaman:

It can do that with a poorly managed healthcare system

As we are seeing with 'bambamcare.

Let me clarify then. Killing citizens of other countries.

Napalm sticks to kids and 'bama sucks.

Obama’s cool

We should get rid of EMTALA as well. Doctors are basically slaves being forced to treat people who can’t pay for their care.

Define decent and comprehensive please.

A system where people have the opportunity to see a doctor before they have a heart attack, and not just after.

Interesting. What stops them?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-10-06T18:03:39.279Z

The cost.

123

Are you sure? Aren’t wellness physicals free?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-10-06T18:07:45.872Z

Yes, I’m sure.

“Wellness physicals” are only free (or close to free) if you have health insurance.

Why does anybody not have health insurance now?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-10-06T18:08:51.538Z

See above. Cost.

If you have zero money, do you have to pay for health insurance?

Aren’t the people who don’t have it paying the tax penalty?

dantes · 2018-10-06T18:30:31.094Z

In many places if you ( depending on your exact circumstances) have zero money you will have to pay for health insurance.

Places such as Texas.

I said nothing else needs to be done. Does pre-existing conditions end in January?

No, just the provision that paid for it.

I don’t think Republicans are really worrying about the deficit at this point anyway so I guess that’s moot.

Several others have said cost is not the issue.

You’re paying double what the rest of the developed world is, cost is very much an issue.

Obamacare slowed down the raise in cost (arguably), certainly didn’t reverse it though.

Ok, thanks.
