@Harmonium1923 well let me address that useless Affordable Care Act-my brother was on it and almost died. it is useless. completely.
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
@akindheart Thanks for the downvote. I don’t get enough of those. I’m sorry for your brother’s experience. I doubt he would have been better off with no coverage at all. I have dozens of friends and family members who have obtained coverage through the ACA that would not have been available previously due to pre-existing condition exclusions and/or medical underwriting in the individual health insurance market. I mean, it’s nice to have the option to have health insurance after retirement if you’re not yet old enough for Medicare.

@Harmonium1923 Before the Affordable Health Care Act insurance actually was affordable.

@Lostsavage OK dude, whatever you say. It was literally unavailable to 40 million Americans.

@Lostsavage Sorry you lost your insurance. But that’s my point. Having the choice to pay to replace it or not is better than not having the option at all.

@akindheart so what the rest of the story, did he drop the insurance and do something else or he still using it?

@Briggett well i am in insurance so i knew the rules. if he missed one payment, his surgery was off so i paid the premium up front every month. he paid me back. he couldn't get into a doctor for 4 months. then he waited for hours. it took months for the referral to come through and no one local would see him. we had to go to Miami. He almost died from a bronchial spasm and ended up in ICU. he recovered and eventually found a job with benefits.

there are so many loopholes by the time you pay premiums, copays and deductibles. and the providers demand it up front from people who can't afford it.
