    ACA caused us to switch prescription drug carriers and has made it much more difficult to get even the basic of procedures done because of some pharmacist thinking he can make more educated decisions over my doctor. Remember when health care was based on what was best for the patient? I do, it was before this law.

    I'd disagree that health care was that much better before the ACA. It was still a business with doctors pushing medicine on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies. I'm not saying it's better now, just that it has been broken for a long time. In your specific case that sucks.

    Have a loved one that signed up and has insurance for first time. Payments reasonable and dr visits went great. And she's actually paying into the system

    Another friends life probably saved cause he's getting care for his bladder cancer. He had blood in urine and would of just sucked it up till pain so bad too late and expensive ER visit.

    Obama care gives me the option of leaving my employer and still get decent coverage even with preexisting conditions. Very liberating.

    awesome news ! I really would like to see it work for those that need it.

    I second that.It has some flaws but hearing some real stories of people who have been really helped makes it seem like most parts could be worked with.

    Was healthcare based on what was best for the patient back when pregnancy, cancer, diabetes, glaucoma, you name it, were considered preexisting conditions and didn't have to be covered at all?

    So, is StummeyCare or North Charleston Care as bad, worse or needs work? Should their city council vote 58 times to overturn it? Just wondering.

    What does this mean?
    I find it ironic or perhaps the height of hypocrisy that the mayor of North Charleston and the city council of a city in a heavily republican state decided to continue the health insurance coverage of their fired police officer, after he shot an unarmed black motorist in the back five times for fleeing because of a tail light being out, because his wife is 8 months pregnant. Where's the republican outrage?

    I had a friend that I knew from when I was six months old. He woke up one morning in May pissing blood. Didn't have health insurance so he didn't go to the doctor as he was going through a divorce at the time and the soon to be ex was really sticking it to him with a restraining order, accusations of violating said restraining order, all the while living in his apartment in a three family house. By the time he saw a doctor in August of that same year, his bladder cancer was too aggressive to be treated. On July 16th of this year, it'll be ten years since he passed. I can only think what might be had the Clinton's health plan act or some version of it had been passed in 1993-1994. I'm sure others may do so as well.

    Americans sure do like eating their young when it comes to healthcare.

    Up here, sure we pay taxes up our wazoo but when it comes to receiving care of health the collective mindset is to help first and do not ever worry about financial status.
    Sure our system has flaws because like anything that involves money status levels occur.
    It is a benefit to us all up here to never have to weigh the option of going to the hospital/er/doctor whenever we want or paying bills.

    I would hope people wouldn't be angry about this. It certainly isn't the wife's fault. I haven't heard any of my republican co-worker complaining about this.

    I lost my work benefits when I made the decision to go back to school and work less. The cost of my work sponsored plan had gone way up after the ACA which is a drawback. However, I have been able to get a more affordable plan through the market place. My brother is a diabetic in college and the ACA has eliminated hundreds of dollars a month in medical costs for him. It seems I've heard a number of good and bad things. Hopefully they can keep fine tuning it until it helps more people than it hurts.

    That's it. It needs refinement and happy for all to put in their input.

    And RR's frustration of him having to pay for his employees healthcare taking real PJ concert traveling money out if his pocket just reinforces thought that we should break tie between healthcare and employers.

    It should be separate, but not sure about the f-rr-ustration comment - he takes good care of his employees and knowing what I know of him, guessing if he made that comment somewhere, it was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

    (feel free to correct me, rr!)

    I thought part of the ACA was that big pharma had to stop spending money on advertising and spend it on r&d instead? I still see fucking pill commercials out the ass!

    Oh how you mis read what I said cal.I have paid my employees insurance for over decade.100%. I do it because I want the best for my people.I also pay them extremely well way over my industry standards and give them Benny's out the ass.
    Spending my tour $ on the well being of those who give so much for me is a no brainer.And I have always advocated for taking care of those that take care of you.ai also pay most sick days of my employees.But my Wife and I make that decision.My point is I don't need the govt mandating it.If I have an employee who is not working hard,fucking off,coming in late a lot and leaving early.Then no sick day pay.that simple.
    You want to seperate the employer/employee insurance deal.Fine.Whats your solution.

    Too bad you are in the minority, otherwise we wouldn't need legislation to keep shitty employers in-line.

    Not sure how this came out wrong. was attempting to simply say if healthcare wasn't tied to employers you'd have more bucks to see PJ. Maybe it was the word "frustration" that I added for impact that may not actually be the case. Humor fail.

    I lost my work benefits when I made the decision to go back to school and work less. The cost of my work sponsored plan had gone way up after the ACA which is a drawback. However, I have been able to get a more affordable plan through the market place. My brother is a diabetic in college and the ACA has eliminated hundreds of dollars a month in medical costs for him. It seems I've heard a number of good and bad things. Hopefully they can keep fine tuning it until it helps more people than it hurts.

    That's it. It needs refinement and happy for all to put in their input.

    And RR's frustration of him having to pay for his employees healthcare taking real PJ concert traveling money out if his pocket just reinforces thought that we should break tie between healthcare and employers.
    Oh how you mis read what I said cal.I have paid my employees insurance for over decade.100%. I do it because I want the best for my people.I also pay them extremely well way over my industry standards and give them Benny's out the ass.
    Spending my tour $ on the well being of those who give so much for me is a no brainer.And I have always advocated for taking care of those that take care of you.ai also pay most sick days of my employees.But my Wife and I make that decision.My point is I don't need the govt mandating it.If I have an employee who is not working hard,fucking off,coming in late a lot and leaving early.Then no sick day pay.that simple.
    You want to seperate the employer/employee insurance deal.Fine.Whats your solution.
    Not sure how this came out wrong. was attempting to simply say if healthcare wasn't tied to employers you'd have more bucks to see PJ. Maybe it was the word "frustration" that I added for impact that may not actually be the case. Humor fail.
    All good dude.Now go take Your car out for a spin and enjoy your weekend.

    I thought part of the ACA was that big pharma had to stop spending money on advertising and spend it on r&d instead? I still see fucking pill commercials out the ass!

    no...the insurance companies have to spend 80% of their expenses on health care....pharmaceutical companies aren't insurance companies

    So, is StummeyCare or North Charleston Care as bad, worse or needs work? Should their city council vote 58 times to overturn it? Just wondering.

    What does this mean?
    I find it ironic or perhaps the height of hypocrisy that the mayor of North Charleston and the city council of a city in a heavily republican state decided to continue the health insurance coverage of their fired police officer, after he shot an unarmed black motorist in the back five times for fleeing because of a tail light being out, because his wife is 8 months pregnant. Where's the republican outrage?
    I would hope people wouldn't be angry about this. It certainly isn't the wife's fault. I haven't heard any of my republican co-worker complaining about this.
    She needs to pull herself up by her bootstraps and get a job. Can't have a freeloading society full of Leeches.


    Just think if a teacher got charged for murder and their family continued to get benefits. The outrage!
