I lived in Massachusetts when Duval Patrick used it as the test-bed for Obamacare.
Anyone who didn’t pay private corperations (people who couldn’t afford it) were fined or sent to jail.
It is a nightmare, it’s not socialized healthcare …
It’s mandated privatized healthcare
They did it Hawaii too when I was living there, it was constantly medical support like CNAs out looking for work, nobody would hire them cause the system couldn’t afford to support the workers. Was a dismal system.
Obamacare has Medicaid clauses for a select group …
But basically, it’s "pay for healthcare or we’ll punish you "
These are poor fucking people !!!
When I lived in Massachusetts when they pulled this shit, I was livid!!!
Docking paychecks from people making 16k per year…
I was enraged !!
The only good thing about our healthcare system is that ER’s underwrite most their shit!!!
Seriously!
Obozocare is probably the single worst piece of legislation in American history. Signed into law by the worst president in American history.
Luckily we have only one more day to go.
Mark my words…
If trump has the balls to slash Medicaid , there will be riots on the streets…
That’s 30 million people who just lost healthcare!
Nice.
“Get your government hands off my Medicare” has a nice ring to it.
Not even Trump has the balls to slash Medicare !!!
Medicaid is the issue
My guess, knowing Trump pretty well…
He’ll make Medicaid a state to state issue, and wash his hands clean …
Oh that’s right…
I don’t know anything about anything according to Uccisore, especially politics…
So just ignore me!
Why should everyone else pay billions of dollars for a few million people to get a free ride on healthcare? When it’s free it becomes overused, whereas when the prices jack up for everyone else such as they have under Obozo then you discourage and ration care. Which is what has happened.
I’ll use myself as an example. I have health insurance through a job, the cost has doubled in 8 years. Literally twice as much money is taken out of my checks. On top of that the deductible has gone up 50%, so even if I go to the doctor to use my rediculously fucking expensive health insurance I still get a huge bill.
There are many families out there that are going bankrupt paying $20,000 a year just for health insurance they can’t even use. This whole system of health insurance now is the biggest fucking scam. And it’s just getting worse. All so some privileged poor people or those with depression or whatever else made-up malady can get a free ride.
It’s totally disgusting. Trump better do something about it. He is the only one who actually talked about it seriously, along with the obscene ripoff we call higher educaction and student loans (well Sanders talked a little about that but his whole idea is “rich capitalists are evil! Hey we need rich capitalists’ money to fund our socialism!”) Lol what a retard.
