Happy 14th Birthday The Affordable Care Act
- Thread starter THE_DEVIL
- Start date
The republicans removed the mandate.
LOL - you have been able to keep your doctor.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 anwww.politifact.com
“You can keep your doctor”
You just make shit up.
It was a bargaining chip in the negotiations. There was no way republicans or the unions were going to allow that provision in.
These morons will blame anything on dems even if it has little to do with them.
Because it was a good thing. Plenty of people benefitted from it. You have no idea why you don’t even like it other than Obama was credited for it.
High prices are not his fault. You blame republican presidents too when corporations get greedy?
We already have a shortage of doctors, nurses, techs and aides.
Capping prices will surely help with this problem, right?
Whatever happened to those “death panels” that dems were going to implement?
Because COVID ****ed up the industry and people quit.
Has nothing to do with Obamacare dude.
How long do you expect people to work and what do you do for a living?
Correct. It has nothing to do with the ACA. I was responding to someone else's call for provider price caps (because that's what all the other countries on earth do).
As a society, we all have a vested interest in keeping qualified workers in the workplace. Making it "too easy" to retire is not a good thing, IMO.
Why not? If someone wants to who are you or anyone else to say they can’t?
Also, what do you do for a living?
There has been a shortage of nurses as long as I can remember.
The corporatization of the medical care industry has to a large part created the shortage and not regs by the government. When you have a wait time of weeks or months and a care clinic with only one doctor on duty at a time and the rest of the staff is solely nursing staff that is not condusive to making high wages and puts dr. under great stress.
- Compensation: Primary care physicians earn less than specialists like cardiologists and orthopedists.
- Payment imbalances: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has made changes to address some of these imbalances, but there is still a public dissatisfaction with the lack of access to routine care.
- Bureaucracy: Physicians say that an increasingly impersonal and bureaucratic health care system places enormous administrative hassles and burdens in their lap each day, and leaves them feeling powerless to make any meaningful change.
- Aging baby boomer doctors: Many doctors are retiring due to aging.
- Pandemic concerns: Many doctors are concerned about the pandemic.
- Reduced time to spend with patients: Many doctors are spending less time with patients.
- Reduced insurance reimbursement: Many doctors are receiving reduced insurance reimbursement from managed care companies.
WTF are you talking about? It had to get enough votes to pass so there was negotiation over the provisions. That was never an important piece of the legislation.
"Both sides"? GTFO
Thanks, Obama. I work under the table for cash and pay everything in cash. I don’t claim any of that of my income. I don’t pay income tax and I’ve been on Obamacare for years and many other government programs. I have never seen a medical bill, I love it.
And?
If the government capped what providers can charge that would help this situation how, exactly?
You’re right, I don’t know the difference. I just know I don’t pay for anything and just figured it was some Obama stuff. I can’t believe this was always a thing before the ACA. If could give birth to 5 kids I could retire comfortably.
If there was a program for ignorance you would fully qualify.
You realize a credit isn't a cash payment, right? No, I don't suppose you do.
Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
ACA surprised me.
I got a routine echocardiogram and my ACA insurance paid all but $150.
Not bad.
Completely scrolled through the thread.....how many rednecks said they can now have sex with the ACA?

Hospital billing charges are like the "vehicle invoice" they show you at the car dealership...
Uh, you can.
You simply need to purchase the plan that your doctor is "in network" for.
I had to change doctors 2x when I was employed with United Health as our coverage network, when the clinic I went to changed who they worked with.
Work plan didn't enable me to get insurance with "any carrier", and hospitals/networks often adjust who's network they will sign contracts with.
ACA was no different in that respect to company-subsidized plans.
I will be a 401k millionaire retiring early and using ACA. Playing around with income/premium calculators makes it look very reasonable. Roth draws don’t count as income so you can live well and still make income look low.
Currently we are getting speeding up on the paying of a couple car loans to get debt free to position ourselves. We drive our cars until they are dust but both cars crapped out for good in the past year. Besides we would have needed new vehicles before entering retirement anyway.
ACA is a big drain on the feds but so are a lot of things. I wish the government would actually pay for what they spend but that’s another thread.

I thought this was gonna be about the cringey video three Obama and two dinosaurs made to appeal to young people to come out and vote for them…on the all important FOURTEENTH Anniversary. Everyone always celebrated the 14th anniversary with presidential speeches. Lol. Enjoy!
That's what they "billed". What did Medicare "pay"?
I had blood work done for followup years ago, that ran $300 which insurance would pay out $160 for. One year, the clinic charged another $25 for the "apheresis" procedure. Insurer said "nope, we'll allow $0.25".
So, they paid $160.25 that time.
