    No way did you work in insurance if that's what you really think. I call BS!

    My plan was really good with a low deductible. It did not have maternity coverage which is why it had to end due to ACA rules. I had the plan for years, used it many times without issue. Take you BS somewhere else because many of us know better.

    Clearly your plan did not meet the minimum guidelines set by ACA. If it did, you’d still have it. The plan I was on met the minimum which is why I didn’t lose it.

    I already stated, it didn't have maternity, that's why it had to end. I don't need liberals to try to explain to me that I saved money by paying double the premium with 3x the deductible. Liberal math doesn't make sense, never has.

    Adding maternity didn’t double your premium. Seems your math is a little suspect

    Results show that record use of pharm products does not improve public health. In fact, Americans are sicker than ever. There is no profit in a cure, so pharm products mask symptoms and create dependency.

    It is not possible to support what is being sold as healthcare and claim to care about public health at the same time. ACA is about power, not health. Results speak for themselves.

    You had better options..you just chose one that made you pissed at the ACA for what ever reason. Im sure you have a plan that works for you now. Wanna go through all that again?

    You obviously have no idea what happened when the ACA became law. This response tells that.

    There is only one power; the dollar. The level of government power is in direct proportion to the amount of money they take in. ACA costs you and I a lot of money, creates record profits for the "healthcare" and pharm industry, and American health continues to decline. We are already at 1/3 of our population diabetic or pre-diabetic.

    Results speak for themselves. One doesn't need to be a doctor to look up our growing level of illness. That doesn't mean denying meds where it is helping.

    Why do I need to have my taxes go to schools in my town when my kids no longer go there? Why do my taxes go towards public transportation when I don’t use it? Health insurance covers lots of things no one will ever use. We can’t have hundreds of millions of individualized plans based on what each person would like covered. Administratively and price wise that couldn’t work. Pooling lots of people helps keep the cost down. Economies of scale.

    But one does need to be a doctor to diagnose why. Taking away access and denying people coverage based on pre existing conditions will not help.

    Huh? Insurance companies and pharm companies were already making lots of money. ACA hasn’t cost me more than pre-ACA. The US will always have high health care costs and it has nothing to do with ACA. Our lifestyle is very unhealthy. We’re a fat f u c k nation where billions are spent on health care due to obesity related illnesses.
