What's the impact of Obamacare for you (and your family)? Assuming it doesn't get defunded or delayed, of course...

I live in a state that's embracing Obamacare and it looks like I'm set for cheaper and/or better healthcare.

Up to now Bubba has been quite good about not Monday Morning Quarterbacking the presidency.

But he's one hell of a surrogate.

Yeah, that was pretty bad form, and a pretty bad policy.  The reason some are losing their individual coverage is because it was substandard.  Does Bill want to force insurers to provide better coverage for the same price, or dispense with the basic standards for health insurance?

'Bout time Bill. Right on point.

Substandard how?

That a 65 y/o woman doesnt think she needs, maternity and newborn care, and pediatric services, with oral and vision. But Obamacare mandates it. What a fucking joke.

Et tu, Bubba?

Meh, it's all positioning now for Hillarypalooza 2016, anyway.  That man wants to be in the White House again so bad, he can taste it.

Actually I don't think it's quite as bad policy as you make out.  Employer provided and individually purchased plans that existed before Obamacare was signed into law were grandfathered in.  By the same logic those individual plans bought after the law was enacted could be grandfathered.

Deductibles too big, annual/lifetime caps, not enough whore pills.  Things like that.

That a 65 year old woman thinks she still needs to buy for-profit insurance with those mandated coverages when she already qualifies for Medicare, she deserves to pay more anyway.   :P

True. How dare she not suckle on the gov't teat! :angry:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
