    The five points of Obamacare

    1. Overall policy cost goes up dramatically, not down.
    2. Subsidized cost of a policy more than doubles in five years
    3. Number of uninsured Americans remain about constant
    4. You can't keep your doctor, even if you like your doctor.
    5. You can't keep your coverage, even if you like your coverage.

    Other than being infinitely better than Trump's mythical plan, Obamacare does suck.

    We need to stop screwing around and adopt a UK style NHS.

    Even "medicare for all" isn't nearly good enough, but might be a good start.

    I kept my doctor. We insured 30 million more. Nobody took away company insurance, even though it is terrible.,

    Good for you. Obamacare ensured about 6 million more. The rest were people (around 12 million) that had to migrate to Obamacare from previous plans. In fact, almost all newly insured were people getting expanded Medicare not new insurance policy holders. In most states, the number of providers for Obamacare plans shrank from a dozen or more down to a few and in many cases 1 to 3. Here in Arizona it's currently two except in a few more rural counties where it's just one. Those that are now providing Obamacare plans are mostly second tier companies, sort of like say Titan or The General for car insurance.

    ObamaCare’s Medicaid Expansion was originally projected to provide health insurance to over 20 million uninsured Americans in its first decade.
    https://obamacarefacts.com/obamacare...aid-expansion/

    So, Obamacare really didn't do much other than expand Medicaid coverage, extending it to more people. Otherwise, it just forced people using individual insurance plans off their current coverage onto often crappier Obamacare plan coverage.
    Another Obamacare blunder was the allowing children to stay on their parent's plans until 26. This cut the pool of eligible 18 to 34 year old healthy persons who were desperately needed in the Obamacare system buying insurance out of the pool of insured meaning that the number of high cost policies went up. Since policy costs were constant, insurers were forced to massively raise rates and losses on policies skyrocketed. Insurers fled the system to cut their losses.

    Look, Trump has a great plan. A lot of people are saying it's the best plan, maybe ever. He just can't tell us what it is yet. But he's going to tell us real soon, he's only been waiting for about four years to let us know what the plan is.

    Exactly. I have had no issues with Obamacare whatsoever. The protection for pre-existing conditions is worth a lot.
    Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.

    Or become employed and no longer need a personal insurance policy when they can get an employer group one.
