Affordable Health Care Law Upheld

[DaleDalbey]

I left a COBRA plan last week. Without ACA, insurance plans could (and would) deny my son's pre-existing condition. He is 6 years old. Multiple surgeries ahead. Paid premiums through corporate jobs for 25 years. You geniuses who hate ACA should pray every night that you keep a group plan. Without a corporate plan or ACA, we are all one accident, birth defect or malady away from financial and physical ruin.

Sounds like you should have had better lines of communication with your daughter instead of being surprised by her health records.

Jcpd2.... That was a jerky thing to say. You have no idea what this family's journey has been.

One has no parental rights when one's child turns 18, yet we pay their tuition and all of their expenses. So jcpd2, you have no clue.

Thanks, JudyJames for your support.

We all love our kids and want the best for them. I'm just saying that neither hell nor high water stops me from doing whatever is necessary for them. If that's your case, I'm proud of you for fighting for her. But we are straying pretty far away from the discussion on Obamacare. Get a good night's sleep. No one is trying to slam your family.

Are there statistics you are using (JCPD2), that indicate that the uninsured are making a decision to remain uninsured because they are healthy? Do the statistics show that their devious plan is to wait until they get sick, then force insurance companies to cover them?

This is the reality, thanks Judy.

Unfortunate that so many people think they have planned so well that it won't happen to them.

There can't be any statistics because this has never been in existence. For some reason, it seems everyone wants to attack me simply because I have a different philosophy. For me personally, I don't want the government involved in my life anymore than it is, and I wish it was less. If you want more of a government safety net, fine. Just don't expect everyone to walk in lockstep with you on every issue. By the way, my passion is taking care of our seniors in society who have become our throw away population. I've raised over $250,000 for a nursing home that goes to an endowment to pay for their care after they have exhausted their funds. This is what I care about and do in the private sector so the government can stay out of it. So just take a deep breath and agree to disagree. But don't believe you can continue to attack me personally in this blog without my responding to it. If so, you better get your big girl pants on and be prepared.

 

[DaleDalbey]

No one has attacked you personally. They have disagreed with your statements. You have the right to your own opinions. Not your own facts. The government has never paid a dime for my health care. Never asked them to.

Regarding your need for self-enggrandizement regarding the money you have raised for a nursing home endowment. A $250,000 endowment with today's interest rates would produce about $5000 per year in interest income available for patient assistance. The average cost for nursing home care in this state is estimated by the Florida Health Care Association at $93,000 per year. While your efforts ar truly noble and should be applauded, I think you can see that they will not solve the problem. Those are FACTS, not opinions.

From what I can see, the first person to do the attacking was the one who out of nowhere made assumptions about somone else's situation.
