Wow!

that's impressive, SKP!

per MONTH!

your savings!

Why, when I hit, respond to this post, is the type so BIG?~

What did you do to my computer?

Anyway, congrats Skp. That is a huge savings!

for the first time since she was on my policy...because ObamaCARES. She is 38 and has 2 children but never had insurance through her work, and has preexisting conditions.

So glad that she will get the coverage she needs! This is great news for many.

is having better mental health for those who need it. We really need to bring back programs as we had in the past. Open state hospitals back up and local clinics for out-patient, group therapy and support groups.

Twenty years ago, Aaron Alexis, the DC shooter, would have been Baker-Acted into a mental health facility and given meds for his delusional behavior, when he was seen by the RI police. They would have been able to keep him there for the time it took to stabilize him.

But now a days, there are too few facilities to B-A him to. The poor guy was sick. Not nuts, but ill with a brain decease/disorder.

Sadly, there is still too much shame associated with mental illness. And the fault for that rests squarely on the legislatures who cut all help to the bare bone and insurance companies whose rates were prohibitive for most people to afford to get the help they meed.

At least this is a change for the better, in that respect. But we have a long ways to go to create quality places available.

A giant step.

I hope people will seek the help they need.

I hope it will do the Republicans in when people find out none of their crap is true!

ugly pusses, will lose them seats, come 2014. Oh, how I pray for that!!

Then look out, people!! Our president will then have the freedom to make the changes he wanted to be elected for! Job creation, voter right laws, immigration, drug laws/MJ decriminalized (hope, hope), women's' rights restored!!

I think that's part of the republicans problem with Obamacare. They "KNOW" the public is going to like it once they get signed up, and that scares the crap out of them. They also know, as has been posted already, that a lot of voters could be changing their votes once they find out just how much they have been lied to by the republicans on this.

"job" to counter it lies. Jeez, WTF is it??????

K & R

since he lost his job about two years ago. He lost his free union negotiated health insurance in October last year and has been paying $850 a month since then. Funny how Republicans will take advantage of a government program when it helps them isn't it? I haven't heard him say anything negative about Obama for the last several months.

The hard way but they may be seeing the light.

...they just quietly start voting for the other side.

And guess what? Those votes count too.

Many republicans that used to be part of the middle class are having a hard time, just like everyone else. Many of them can no longer afford health insurance, and many of their children are now in need of health insurance. Once they get past the right wing lies, I think we will see a larger percent of Americans who will "like" what they are getting.

That I will no longer be receiving reject letters for my pre-existing injuries (from a suspected hate crime!) from every insurance company out there.
Somehow, they all know I will eventually need surgery for my blown disks in my neck.
I've been rejected for every plan out there, including the ARRP endorsed ones.
I only hope I can get covered before my arm goes completely dead.

Its gonna work and of course it not P E R F E C T, but it can work. Prayers.

Obamacare is, she. It's a Law does help People in so many ways..

Thanks for the additions, Cha. We are in a countdown now. Eight days!



ObamaCare’s Medicare / Medicaid Reforms
One of the biggest impacts ObamaCare has is on both Medicare and Medicaid.

ObamaCare cuts $716 billion in “waste” from Medicare and reinvests it back into Medicare and ObamaCare in an effort to improve the care that seniors get. It addresses issues such as closing the Medicare Part D “donut hole” and providing better quality preventive services to seniors. Read More On Obamacare and Medicare and How it affects seniors.

ObamaCare Medicaid Expansion expands Medicaid to 17 million of our nation’s poorest. However, this aspect of healthcare reform is in jeopardy due to the states’ ability to opt-out of Medicaid expansion. 16 States have already opted out of Medicaid expansion.

The Toad is so full of himself. Great Tweet BTW. MSM has no problem following and reporting on non issue stories ad nauseum. The real issues, yawn, not so much.

No Toad you do not get to take a pass on the issues.

Thanks Cha~

And, I hope this works itself out, she..

Couldn't resist this.. from your link..



I think toad's comments definitely have a silver lining and perhaps "The Law of Unintended Consequences" applies here?

Chuck Todd doesn't seem to understand his own job as a "journalist." Journalism students learn this in the first... http://t.co/nk5LUmQCnw

Looks like good information. I will take some time tomorrow to read it.

From the govt website, www.healthcare.gov they tell you you can figure your
subsidy for insurance by using the calculator at Keiser.

This is only an estimate though. It may vary.

There's a calculator at the site to see how much you would pay for insurance after any subsidies.

For example: a single person making only $21,000 and not qualified for medicaid, that person might pay about $97 a month for a silver plan. Might be tough for the average person to come up with that $97.

Calculate your premium and subsidies:
http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/


Here are the percentages of health care costs you pay for each type of plan.

Bronze plan: 40%
Silver plan: 30%
Gold plan: 20%
Platinum plan: 10% of your health care costs.
(The higher the out of pocket the lower the premium)

http://www.webmd.com/health-insurance/insurance-marketplace/marketplace-insurance-choices

Main website is www.healthcare.gov

I'm not saying there aren't good things, but the really bad thing is that health care will be based on class/wealth
and many low income people will not be able to afford it.

And low income people are eligible for subsidies (or to have it for free), both on the premiums and the remaining out of pocket expenses.

The current system is truly a class system; the ACA begins to level the access-to-health care playing field. It isn't perfect, but to complain that the ACA is creating ("will be&quot a class/wealth based health care system is really stretching.

Republican on this. Again, it's not perfect, but let's push to improve it. Let's get more progressives in office and push for a public option.

Remember: Many of us stayed on the phone, calling our own Democratic Party senators, begging them to sign on to a public option and many of them refused to do so. These were largely moderate and conservative Democrats who did not support a public option for whatever reason. Obamcare isn't perfect but let's get it improved.

were covered and didn't have to pay anything.

not sure were I read that.

The Supreme court struck down the mandatory Medicaid expansion for low income people, and some (republican run) states are refusing to expand it out of spite, even though for the next few years it does not cost them anything. So low income people who do not qualify for traditional Medicaid in states which refuse to expand Medicaid will be in a world of hurt.

Sending to all my family and friends! Posting on Facebook, Twitter. Thank you!! :bravo:

Keep it going and spread the news! To the greatest President ever! You are right.

Excellent, excellent comment by Ezra Klein!~ The law will be a huge success. It will help so many people. They are running on empty Cha. The GOP lost it.

They are the party in disgrace. They are evil. There only wish is to destroy the people of this Nation. They wish to bring us to our knees. That will not happen.

The law will succeed!

Thanks Cha!
