What will low income people do for healthcare if they lose their Obamacare?

[TooTall]

Here is a suggestion to answer the question.

"The 14194 clinics in this database offer medical services (some may also offer dental services) and are free, low-cost, low-cost with a sliding scale based on income, or offer some type of financial assistance. If you're under or uninsured, and looking for a nearby free clinic, sliding scale clinic, or low-cost clinic, where you and/or your family can go for lost cost medical care, NeedyMeds can help. Please note that the clinics listed are not necessarily free.

Can we point out that every individual in America, whether legal or otherwise, has had healthcare- by federal law- since it was mandated by the most successful President in the last hundred years.

"The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)[1] is an act of the United States Congress, passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospital Emergency Departments that accept payments from Medicare to provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) to individuals seeking treatment for a medical condition, regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay."

Unless I've missed something, we do not live in a socialist country. Nor have we amended our Constitution to permit Government (the taxpayers) to pay for healthcare for all.

Hence, we have the observable phenomena that :

People with money tend to eat better than people without money;

They tend to have nicer clothes;

They tend to live in safer, more posh places;

They tend to send their kids to better schools (all the way through college), whether public or private;

They get better healthcare.

To the extent that healthcare is a high priority, people who are "poor" have to seek out whatever resources are available and exploit them to the extent necessary.

But on the whole, people with resources will always get better healthcare than people without resources. AND THAT EVEN HAPPENS IN COUNTRIES WHERE THEY HAVE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.

So if you don't mind, stop telling me that I am financially responsible to see to it that every poor bastard in this country has "adequate" health care. If you think the Constitution needs changing, and if enough people agree with you to get it done, then I will happily pay my share. But until that happens STFU. Ain't my problem.

What will the poor do when everyone in America is as poor as they are? Move on to another Country?

 

[miketx]

The liberals trying to destroy this country truly have no souls, no character and no conscience.

If they're smart, they will doctor themselves. Almost always that is best anyway. Going to a money-grubbing quack doctor should be the last thing you do.

Yet you have no problem with corp welfare , school vouchers, subsidizing congressmen's health insurance, and paying for cops and firemen, subsidizes all state employees health insurance, using roads, breathing US air and drinking US water.

Cant the median income and poor income those working for min wage of 7.25 get a little help????

Most people on the ACA make 22000 to 100,000 grand a year, which is more than min wage. What should they do now?? Please tell me.

Even is one makes10 bucks an hour and works full time that is only 20,800, not enough to be on the ACA.

What is your solution??

In the states that have not expanded Medicaid, a family of 3 in texas needs to make less than 8700 a year for Medicaid.

What is your solution??

Give yourself that heart bypass, ok, give yourself that gall bladder surgery. Doctor yourself,

maybe the congressmen should dr. themselves.

Hey stupid. I didn't say DIY healthcare is always best. But 90% of the time it is. We need to ban health insurance. THINK

Yup....you missed something, D.

Go back to the 32nd President, and his ending the guidance of the Constitution.

They will get sick, they will die, and the Alt Right will yell "yay".

Pretty much the way it is with obamacare, $7500 deductible. Pretty much a death sentence for most.

And the Alt Right will be thrilled. Weren't you the one who was yelling Romney would win in a land slide? Now we are watching the GOP stumble and fumble the US straight into a single payer.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Considering most of these policies are high deductible low paying policies, not much will change other than "on paper" they might lose their policy. Not that they ever used or benefited from it one time.

If they're that poor, bragging that they have "healthcare" with a 6000 dollar deductible is pretty much like hanging a steak 100 feet over a dog and telling him to eat up. It sounds good on ABC news and CNN, but functionally, it's useless.

Liberals never said they'd give the poor a healthcare policy that they could use, just that they'd have healthcare. The first 6000 is on them, though.

 

[Nia88]

They'll die, because that's the republican way. They will know kick and scream about a fetus but once the fetus is born, you're on your own. So what if you have cancer and can't afford chemo? Or you need a kidney transplant? Too bad for you.
