is it possible to ask the forum members about ACA without being political???

What's the difference if we bought & paid for private care ourselves last year & today making payments to Obamacare????

Besides not having the govt. involved/getting bigger, & having the problems enrolling on line. Oh, also having a $500 deductible instead of a $5,000 deductible. AGAIN, I'm failing in understanding this whole thing.

Just remembered(honest) Now we'll pay more for others that don't work to have/share our health care plan. Very nice....

If you have insurance already, then you already have insurance and this doesn't effect you, other than possible premium changes. You don't make payments to Obamacare, you make payments to an insurance company. Just like you did before the ACA.

You should really look at what the ACA does before passing any claims.
-the enrolling problems are due to high traffic. It basically means a lot of people are either enrolling or logging on to the site.
-The deductible depends on coverage and insurance carrier. You can't compare someone's insurance with currently a $500 deductible to one with a $5,000 deductible because the two are nowhere near the same level of coverage. The high deductible level will likely apply to those who'll need insurance for catastrophic care. In reality, this is actually a good thing for everyone else. People in this category would likely have been uninsured. If they end up in the hospital with a major illness or injury, they can walk out without spending a dime. I know a lot of people in the medical field and this happens a lot. Your insurance rates are high because the hospitals need to re-coup their losses. Don't you get it? We are already paying more for others. This evens the field by forcing the uninsured to pay in to the pool if they expect to have the same level of care in an emergency as the insured. There is very little effect on those that currently have insurance through their job.

It's well written & I believe you. I just don't believe or trust our government. History shows me lies & more lies & less freedoms for us. Sorry but that's how I feel.

That's a separate issue. That trust or distrust works both ways though. How can you honestly trust the Republicans after the current government shutdown fiasco. The ACA needs discussion and debate, but not like this.

Word. As a lifelong Republican, this current bunch of idiots sickens me. I can't tell if they're stupid or they think we are.

Did I say anything positive about the Republicans??? I think they are stupid! As far as the Democrats, pandering for self benefit not our country's comes to mind. I'd rather NOT talk about political parties cause that would make this political Plus in my book, most of the people from both sides svck!!!!
