Why do you hate Obamacare?

Let me see..... before Obamacare i had Blue Cross & Blue Shield, my insurance for me and Dorian was just under $300 and covered EVERYTHING. After that shit began I was notified my policy was now invalid according to Obamacare's requirements so I had to get a new one, it first seemed good even with adding DH and only increased to $305, but I soon discovered it barely covers even emergencies, then each passing year it has increased. Now I am paying nearly  $400 and have been notified it will most likely be increasing by the end of next year. So much for "you can keep your current policies".....

Your premium only went up $100?!  LUCKY!!!

 

Don't worry, they ain't done yet. I don't ever look at premium or remember it, but our monthly is what has gone up $100 but the coverage went down drastically.

Yeah, see, I find that doesn't matter.  Because once I've paid this outrageous premium, I don't really have money left for co-pays anyway... so I can't use most of my "benefits," such as they are. 

The Affordable Care Act has some good parts and some bad parts (I'm not a big Obama fan, but I hate the term "Obamacare").  I like the parts about pre-existing conditions and being able to keep my son on our insurance until he's 26.  But I think it's fundamentally flawed.  The answer to everyone having health care coverage can not be "get insurance or pay a fine", that's not a solution, that's not even a band aid.  No, I don't have a solution, if I did maybe I would run for office, but I know this isn't the way to provide health care for everyone.

What really pisses me off is that we are supposedly one of the greatest nations in the world, and we can't even provide health care, housing, and food for all of the people that live here.  That's really fucking sad.

To take it to a larger scale, this planet has enough resources for everyone, regardless of what some people would say.  There is no reason for anyone in the world to be without shelter, food, or healthcare.  Well, there is a reason, some people suck.

Sorry for the rant, this is why I don't talk politics. 

Trump isn't the equivalent of a no experienced accountant. He knows business and how to handle money and investments, or at least knows the experts, something our government knows nothing about apparently. He supposedly knows the other top businessmen of other countries and if he can bring back big manufacturing and other trades that built this country, then we'll have jobs, and that makes DH happy. If he can do that.....

I don't like, can't stand Hillary and if Bernie thinks we're the richest country, being 17 trillion or so in debt, he is smoking crack.

BUT I will not argue or fight, there is a reason we don't talk politics here and obviously I am the only Republican/conservative   well, I'll be voting that way, haven't really had much hope in our politicians since I was able to vote......

He could start be reversing all the outsourcing he did.

Trump brand dress  shirts made in China and Mexico., seriously the guy is so hypocritical.

The only thing he cares about is $ and himself. Giving more spotlight is doing both.

I did mention skeptical, didn't I? 

And yes I have a problem with all this politically correct bs, I'd rather someone be blunt and honest, not tiptoe around everyone's feelings. Even if it means being an asshole sometimes, hell I married probably one of the most uncouth, blatantly and brutally honest people you'd ever know, and there is not a single person in this world I trust more, he comes off as an asshole most times but he'll be the first to give you the shirt off his back or what's left in his wallet/bank account or the last bite of food in our fridge. That's why I prefer unfiltered people over politically correct people

Ok, maybe he's a rarity....... lol.

I have a feeling this part does not describe Donald Trump.

But I know plenty of people with these qualities who are not assholes. There is no correlation. I don't see why being a polite, considerate person should be considered a fault.
