Are you an Obamacare opponent? Great news!

Benefit limits are coming back. That means, if you reach your maximum in the middle of your chemo, too bad so sad, you're done.

More good news! If you lose your job and lose your group insurance policy, you'll be denied coverage if you've ever had a pre-existing condition. Thanks GOP!

I think that the President's biggest mistake, was to not pass a single payer system, during his first 2 years in office. Obamacare solves some problems, but I will be out $13,100, before insurance (or prescriptions) kicks in a single penny.

Now that they want to reinstate caps and pre-existing conditions, it's going to be worse.

For those who talked about it: making everyone get insurance, is the only way to make this work, as long as it is not a single payer system.
The health system was weighed down by uninsured people. Everyone should have insurance. Because of that change in the risk pool, everyone can be covered, pre-existing conditions can be covered, kids to 26 can be covered, and help keep premiums down due to risk of transition time.

@RootinTootinHighFalutin: The medical industry is way out of control. While you may have the outliers, Canadians seem to be healthier than we are, but our conservative politicians, seem to love pointing to the Canadian system, as the thing to avoid.

I believe 100% in what Bernie insisted on, and Hillary committed to doing: take the profit out of healthcare and education. That means, a single payer system. In addition to controlling what doctors/hospitals charge, as they do in Canada.
