Happy 14th Birthday The Affordable Care Act

Shame that healtcare costs have more than doubled since then. Thanks Obama.
That can easily be fixed with REGULATION. Would you agree with that?
that one of the main problems is that U.S. hospitals, doctors and pharmaceutical companies charge much higher prices for their services and products.
While most countries can strictly regulate the prices health providers are allowed to charge, there is no such regulation here, and price negotiations between insurance companies and health care providers in the U.S. happen largely behind closed doors.

If insurance companies have an insatiable appetite for money then perhaps Barry shouldn't have given them a blank check via ACA.
I was just thinking that the problem with Healthcare is not enough government regulation.. 😂🤣😅
Premiums are through the roof.
One positive is the up to age 26 for kids.

LOL...watching you argue with yourself is hysterical.
So the ACA made no difference in the trajectory of price increases.You halfwits…
This farce has cost the average, American family that works for a living, $10s of thousands while disrupting the secure healthcare networks they had built for themselves.
I had to get a tetanus booster last month and my PCP office doesn’t carry the shot. Off to UFHealth I go. Quick service and super nice staff. I’m on Medicare but I got a bill for my share: Billed Medicare $861.
For a tetanus shot. A vaccine that’s not a new whizbang cure. I paid $10.00 by the way.
Seriously? That’s crazy.
And Obamacare is saddled with issues too. Premiums can be high and the deductibles high as well.

Consisting of 10 separate legislative Titles, the Act has several major aims. The first—and central—aim is to achieve near-universal coverage and to do so through shared responsibility among government, individuals, and employers. A second aim is to improve the fairness, quality, and affordability of health insurance coverage. A third aim is to improve health-care value, quality, and efficiency while reducing wasteful spending and making the health-care system more accountable to a diverse patient population. A fourth aim is to strengthen primary health-care access while bringing about longer-term changes in the availability of primary and preventive health care. A fifth and final aim is to make strategic investments in the public's health, through both an expansion of clinical preventive care and community investments.
joboma did that........... Also, that $861, probably purchased tetanus shots for 100 ILLEGALS!
No, but that a) wasn’t necessarily the intent of the law (as was pointed out), and b) wasn’t what they were claiming. Single payer if the ultimate way.
Again, the intent of this sham "law" that was passed on Christmas Eve, was to "level the playing field," as comrade 0boma is so fond of saying, not by doing anything constructive, but by making sure 98% of the population have dogshit coverage.
No country lets their citizens get ripped off, healthcare-wise, like the US. Again, nobody would trade with us.
Well, it’s behind a paywall, but there was one time Obama made a claim about premiums only to revise and say healthcare spending, which (as you can see in my post above) is finally moving in the right direction.
I was getting ripped off 14 years ago, comrade tom, but I have been ever since........
I would have a law that says providers can’t charge more than Medicare reimbursement no matter what.
Law that drug companies have to charge the same for drugs. The lowest price is everybody”s price.
Anybody on employer insurance has to have a physical every year and if they are obese they have 1/2% new income tax.
1% tax on cell phone bills (only way everybody pays) 1% tax on imports.
All This money would be used to start a nasa type endeavor with the goal of cheaper healthcare via AI and automation.

Kinda sounds like non-Obamacare health insurance.
14 years and still no sign of death panels. Surely they’re coming, Chuck said so.
There were a few claims made that weren’t true…and they knew they weren’t true.
Nancy Pelosi says 'everybody' will get more and pay less under the health care law
In the debate over health care reform, a central question is whether the Affordable Care Act will live up to its name an

“You can keep your doctor”
Single payer should have been the objective. ACA was a half measure with too much insurance company input.
The only thing it’s done over the past 14 years is make people fat and lazy. It is bullshit that people can call themselves self employed so they can get free health insurance. I can’t do that because I have too much pride and self respect.
Billed and what Medicare pays are two vastly different things. I think my hospital charges like 8-10K for my surgery but I actually get about 1200-1500 for a 2 hour surgery.
Got a great idea. Why don't all MAGA's running for office pledge to end ACA if they are elected?
I understand about how they have to bill Medicare hugely just to literally get pennies on the dollar, and honestly you should get at least double that, or more.
That's been a hollow promise by republicans for years, I'm sure it will be mentioned with no replacement plan/idea to implement at the same time
Repeal and replace!!!
Ummm…replace with what, exactly?
We’ll figure that out LATER!!!
Trump and Co. have they announced their plan to replace “ObamaCare” yet?
