Can Someone explain OBAMACARE? What's the big deal? What's the problem?
Can someone please nutshell this one
for all the foreign readers, like me.

I don't really get it.

Are there any positive points at all here?

Why is this so bad, what is the problem, exactly?


The budget?
Who is paying for this?
..The employee or the employer?
Whatabout the unemployed?
Is the bad US medical service gonna get worse?
Is it now mandatory? Can you "opt-out"?
Are private med-insurance rates gonna go up in $$$?
Are they gonna try to fix everything now with a pill?
What about vaccines and such? are they now mandatory?

thx.

Re: Can Someone explain OBAMACARE? What's the big deal? What's the problem?
It means they can force you to buy anything, but not as commerce, as a "tax". It means said tax apparently doesn't have to orginate in the congress as the constitution (what dat?) has previously always required. It also means the govt can penalize any organized religion or group of non religous people for not choosing the acceptable faiths. It basically means that when they decide you are not worth keeping alive they can pull the plug. Somehow it was evil for an insurance company to deny services but okey dokey for teh govt to snuff you. And some people believe it means mandatory immunizations (sending cops after scoffers) and microchipping (making locating easier). In otehrwords the constitution is dead, your freedoms are dead, but have a free lollipop5a

The gov't doesn't have a good reputation for running anything. That's the first problem.

Lately, nothing here has been "fair". The US citizens have become the second class citizens while illegals and those deemed special are rewarded off of the middle classes backs. So people don't like being used all the time unfairly.

While our courts did right by making sure they know they can't force us to buy something, the fact that it's connected to taxes that makes it legal.

Now, some people are exempt from paying for various reasons, not fair.

If you can't or don't pay since it's tied in with our taxes that is a way to seize money, property and even throw people in jail.

This is nothing like some of the other countries healthcare. This is just a way to funnel our money to whomever they want it funneled to.

Re: Can Someone explain OBAMACARE? What's the big deal? What's the problem?
Few things in modern America are more misunderstood and vilified as the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare.) In actuality, many benefits of the program are already changing people’s lives, finances, and ultimate long-term health. Many more benefits will go into effect, incrementally, over the next few years. It’s not the single payer universal plan that would really solve the problems, but it is a far cry from the do-nothing realities of the last several decades that saw health care and affordability erode in our nation.

There's nothing wrong with Obama care, but there is a lot of dis info out there, mostly by the GOP......
The reason behind the whole thing, including AG Eric Holder, is that the GOP "wants to take back the White House" , in other words, get the black man out , even though he is half-white, and even though he is probably smarter than 10 of them put together , and because he cares more for the low and middle class, and wants millionaires/billionaires to pay the same percentage of tax as we the little people have to pay...
I hope that clears up some of it for you !

My solution is far too out there. If insurance didn't exist then cost would be much lower. I hate the way our insurance is right now and I'm covered. I've also had to turn down COBRA before because it was too expensive. Healthcare needs to be re-done. I don't believe penalizing people with the iRS is right. I've brought the whole IRS thing up years ago with healthcare and how terrible that is. People can go to jail over this but no-one will admit it.

PS; stop acting like you know me because it's obvious you haven't read enough of my posts over the years to know where I stand.

Re: Can Someone explain OBAMACARE? What's the big deal? What's the problem?
thanks everyone, but I'm more confused now,
...mmmmm, I'll keep doing research on it.

----------------------

Here we have a form of socialized obligatory medcare, not too bad I keep hearing, several companies offer the insurance and you can chose your own doctor and stuff, also the head of the family pays for it and the rest of the family (dependents) gets automatic coverage, I never go to the doc myself, i'm never sick so I dont know but I jusr hear good things about the system aand overall care... the employer usually pays, you can also pay it privately (i.e. freelancers), if unemployed the gov pays till you have a job again.

In simple terms.. By allowing Obamacare to pass, The Government can tell you 100% what to do at any time and any place from birth to death. You are not free to do what you want anymore, unless a Government worker tells you it is ok.

What we had as a middle class is now 100% assured to be destroyed because they will be 'taxed' to death with nothing left to survive on so they will have to turn to the Govt for help. This is class-warfare 100% and will send anyones money to someone else the Govt deems worthy to get it.

If you do not understand this, then maybe this will get you..

I am slowly understanding the REAL issues here, the healthcare itself is just the excuse for the total control of people's lives, bodies and minds and that of their children.

Sure, it may seem like a good idea at first "healthcare for all" but at the end it's surely a trap, it always is.
