ACA Continues 'Non-Collapse' - Obamacare insurer pulls out of rural Virginia leaving coverage gaps

[Brain357]

We need affordable healthcare.

ACA is not it. 'Big Govt' is not the answer.

Didn't say it was. Repubs said they had answer. Waiting...

 

[Anathema]

News flash. Republicans are in control and do nothing.

As they should. There is no legitimate Constitutional mandate for them to do ANYTHING regarding health care or medical issues.

So they run on repeal but should do nothing? Amazing.

Sure there is. Don't be obtuse.

Obamacare insurer pulls out of rural Virginia leaving coverage gaps - Hot Air

"Virginia-based health insurer Optima announced Wednesday it was pulling out many rural counties in the state, potentially creating a gap in coverage for 70,000 people."

Of course, snowflakes continue to declare that repealing the ACA will .... do exactly what Obamacare has already been doing and continues to do - cause Americans to lose coverage.

News flash. Republicans are in control and do nothing.

Are you suggesting Republicans caused this "lack" of coverage?

What do you suggest should be done to address this "lack" of coverage?

News flash.. Nobody is saving $2500.00 and they are not keeping their insurance nor their Doctors.

DUH! Braindead357. I hope the Republicans do nothing and allow this unaffordable carelessness collapse.

Ah politics over country. What a patriot. Trump said everyone would have great healthcare...

Yes. Politics over country.

You are such a patriot.

Obama said everyone would have great healthcare.

He lies and you lie right along with him.

ACA is better than what we had before. Fact.

Like I said...

This monstrosity does not affect me.

There are others that would disagree with you.

The more repubs less gets done. Well they are good at increasing debt ceiling.

Trump should tell Congress, "You shouldn't get paid until you send me a real budget like it says in your job description"

Says the snowflake who is loyal to the President who added nearly $7 trillion in new debt in only 4 years and who personally secured the 1st US Credit Rating Down-grade in US history.

Bwuhahahaha....

Congress controls the purse strings remember? How long repubs controlled congress? I am independent, not loyal to either party. You can't stop talking about obama though.

It's truly mind-numbing how ignorant Gruber snowflakes continue to Justify Obama / Democrats ramming the ACA into law against majority citizen opposition, defend how it was / is such a 'great law', and continue to deny what a f*ing LIE / MESS it was / is while trying to push the blame for the whole thing off on the GOP.



Six Broken ObamaCare Promises: A Retrospective on the ACA's 6th Birthday


PROMISE 1: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period.”

The reality is that millions of Americans have lost and will lose their coverage due to Obamacare.


In 2013, Politifact rated this the number one lie of the year. Politifact found at least 37 instances when President Obama made this vow to the American public.

What the public found was millions of cancellations from insurers who could no longer offer popular health care plans because they did not meet the new requirements imposed by Obamacare. By that November, the president admitted this key talking point was false, saying: “I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurance they got from me.”




PROMISE 2: “I can make a firm pledge: under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase - not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." –President Obama, Sept. 12, 2008.

Not only did ObamaCare take $716 billion out of Medicare to help pay for the health law, it also created 18 new tax hikes to pull in $836.3 billion during the first 10 years. The new taxes hit Americans for $36.3 billion in 2013 alone.




PROMISE 3: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future.” – President Obama, Sept. 9, 2009.

Less than four years later, the Government Accountability Office announced ObamaCare would increase the federal deficit by $6.2 trillion over the next 75 years.




PROMISE 4: “You should know that once we have fully implemented, you’re going to be able to buy insurance through a pool so that you can get the same good rates as a group that if you’re an employee at a big company you can get right now -- which means your premiums will go down." --President Obama, July 16, 2012.

Not only did premiums go up, they have continued to rise. Some have risen 60, 80, 120%.




PROMISE 5: “Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” —President Obama, Sept. 9, 2009

A Government Accountability Office report shows that ObamaCare does, in fact, force taxpayers to foot the bill for abortion services. The Department of Health and Human Services simply ignores strict regulations and laws put in place to prohibit subsidization. According to the report, more than 1,000 Obamacare-sanctioned insurance plans fail to separate funding for abortion services from coverage as required by law.




PROMISE 6: “The implementation of this is fabulous.” — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, June 26, 2013

The launch of the ObamaCare insurance exchanges was a huge flop. Healthcare.gov only enrolled six Americans at the end of its first day and had massive online glitches that took months to address. And while the Obama administration claimed in 2014 that healthcare.gov costs were around $800 million, an analysis by Bloomberg Government shows the actual cost to taxpayers was double that at over $2 billion.

Most state exchanges fared little better; some did even worse. Oregon’s online enrollment system never worked. Fifteen months and $248 million after launch, the state finally pulled the plug.

News flash. Republicans are in control and do nothing.

News Flash: Obama and Democrats created this cluster-fu@k. Democrats trying to blame the GOP for OBAMAcare is like the Captain of the Exon Valdez blaming the clean-up crew for not cleaning up his oil spill fast enough / good enough.

View attachment 148151

The Republicans' decision not to repeal Obamacare has given them ownership of everything that's bad about it.

Bullshit. You wrote it and passed it and your favorite democrat McCain voted to keep it. You democrats own this. Forever.

Pre ACA we had skyrocketing costs with people going bankrupt trying to pay. Was shit before and shit after. Now where is the great healthcare trump promised?

Ask Merkowski, Collins, McCain and the rest of the democrats they're the ones that decided what you have now is great.
