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

[TooTall]

WE make less than $5,000.00 a year. We do not qualify for ACA or any assistance of any kind (without a long drawn out legal battle which one could very well die while waiting for it). I was covered in chemicals on the job. Due to the corrupt system here I was denied adequate medical care when it happened. The insurance company and the employer lied their asses off. The insurance company that was supposed to by law make sure I was treated properly didn't. They by law have the right to send an injured employee to the doctor of their choice. That doctor of their choice attempted to give my drugs (very dangerous ones). I refused to take his drugs and I wasn't about to lie like the lawyer said I should and tell him I did. Long and short of that is the state employees and the lawyers, insurance company etc.... all covered their asses and covered up the fact that the insurance companies doctor was actually a drug addict, sociopath who had once previously lost his license for drug abuse and endangering patients. This is what your insurance companies do. You can keep them as they will and would let people die in order to save or make a buck.

Learn how to prevent heart disease and learn what it takes to prevent Gall Stones from forming (take care of your Liver properly). If you get Gall Stones (BTW, everyone has them not all end up a problem) learn what you can do to treat them at home I did. It wasn't easy and it can be very painful but if you don't have insurance and your state won't allow for any medical care even though their doctor says you need it you'll find a way or die. Its that simple.

PC is correct if you absolutely are in dire need a hospital cannot turn you away. I've been there and done that too. Had a creepy doctor call my mom when the children were babes and tell her come get your grandchildren as your daughter is too sick to watch over them. He knew I was deathly ill but sent me home to die because I did not have insurance (long time ago but I recall it like yesterday). My mom came and got the children and left a handyman there to watch over me. I called her and told her I appreciated the thought but did not want him there while trying to crawl to the bathroom when I had to puke. I had Chickenpox that went into my lungs, intestine throughout. Ran a fever of over a 102 for almost a week. Friends came to see me because they had not heard from me for days. Told me they were going out of state and they would be back to check on me in a few hours. If I did not go to the hospital on my own they would call an ambulance. I drifted in and out of consciousness for several hours just like I had been for days. (I won't get too detailed as it would take too long). Anyhow I did not want a bill for an ambulance on top of everything else I couldn't pay so I drove self to hospital. Literally fell through the emergency doors. The hospital kept me there for a week knowing that I had not a dime to pay them. Even today they would do the same or face a very expensive lawsuit for turning away someone at deaths door.

I was deeply grieved to read that.

Prayers for you and yours.

Thank you. Life was tough back then with worrying about the children and all. It was a learning experience and one more item in the survive the worldly world toolbox. I'll take the time to write it all down in a coherent fashion one day. As far as the chemical BS goes still working on mitigating the damage from it every day. We weren't sure I would survive it all for quite a few years. By having Internet I have been able to do a lot of study on things one can do. Lungs can even be regenerated with the right stuff. I got the Gall Stone deal through doing too much detox at once so another little experience to go by. Don't try to do too much at once I read the hazards cause and effect after the fact. Natural methods do work though. I also learned during all my study that three surgeries over the years could have been avoided. Boy did that piss me off when I found out that the studies were all out there when the docs talked me into having surgery.

God Bless.

That is what Republicans say. May God Bless you. Your little God Bless means absolutely nothing, or I'll pray for you, what he needs is health insurance so he can have a Family Dr and some specialists following him, not Bless you.

You really have no clue what I need. Apparently you can't read or grasp the concept very well when it comes to cleaning up the corruption. Instead you want to add to it. At this stage in my life I would have never been in this predicament if corrupt insurance companies, lawyers, politicians and greed mongers would have been kept in check but they were not. I have made a small fortune over the years with my husband's help. Bureaucrats, lawyers, banksters, crooked insurance companies and crooked judges helped steal what we spent years paying for but that is a whole nuther aspect of why I even took a frigging two bit job in the first place. Hell I made more per hour when I worked than most lawyers before I was hurt. I took a crappy lil' job in an attempt again to overcome more fraudulent banksters here.

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.

I was sorry to read about your health problems but your arm patch suggests you are a veteran. Why don't you go to the VA for treatment? In spite of some of the horror stories I have read about some of the VA's, I can't say enough good things about the Atlanta VA and the Austell VA clinic. They have been really good to me.

Its my hubby's patch and yes he can go to the VA. Its a ways from us but if he needs it there is help for him if we can get him there.

Glad to hear that one of you can go to the VA. I don't know where you live, but you could try the link in the first post. It sounds like you are on the right track with your natural methods. My wife is doing that as well.

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.

I don't have gallbladder problems or cardiac, I was merely using them as examples. I have insurance, but its people like you who wont and hospitals are not doctors offices, its for people like you who become deathly sick and need to be admitted.

Do you have Medicaid. With that income you should. I do not trust leaving it in insurance companies hands, they are out to make money.

You are the reason we need healthcare for all, so you do not get so deathly ill. I also get so upset to hear that company got out of paying your medical bills and ongoing medical bills.

If doctors are not up on whats available they really become worthless. I would rather people like you put all that effort into cleaning up the corruption and keep the corrupt or idiots like the crooked doctors, lawyers and insurance companies on a string. With all of the medical information online now if people are taught to think verses be drones they can take better care of themselves.

Trumpcare cuts insurance for 24 million

Who cares as long as the wealthy pay less?

CBO: Obamacare repeal will increase uninsured by 24 million by 2026

 

[RASTAMEN]

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.

Yeap and the democrats own obamacare 100%. I say republicans should let it fail on its own, and finally show the uninformed voters what liberal policies actually accomplish.

Neanderthal conservatives are getting ready for Ryan-Trump care!!!! Say no more!!!

They have those scaled clinics here. Been there and did that I actually knew more than the doctor so it was like throwing away twenty-five dollars we did not have to spare. I don't need doctors writing prescriptions for me that would cost money we don't have that will help insure super infections grow. That particular one said "Come back if that doesn't work". I told her what I needed and she insisted on Penicillin which would have just been a catalyst for the type of infection I had in my ear..

 

[RASTAMEN]

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.

Yeah....and that isn't true. The "republicans only care about the fetus, and not about the baby...." is what morons like you say to justify killing a baby. Conservatives give far more time and money to charities and helping other people than left wingers do.......they are also the ones adopting babies from China because of the bizarre adoption process here......so shove that crap up you know where...it is a lie......

No you are mistaken!!! Red state conservative hate the American people.

"i'm a trauma surgeon and folks in rural Appalachia cannot afford the rising premiums under Obamacare. they are paying the tax penalty and opting out of insurance" - Dr Anthony Sethi, West Virginia surgeon

Donald Trump Meets with Victims of Obamacare at the White House

Trump told the group that he would put into place a better plan that “lowers cost, expands choice, and ensures access for everyone” and promised “more competition and less regulation” in the market place.

“You’ll see rates go down, down, down, and you’ll see plans go up, up, up, you’ll have a lot of choices,” he said.

Brittany Ivey of George said her private insurance rates went up 110 percent, and that even though she was paying $1300 a month for a plan, her doctors wouldn’t take the insurance.

“We’re so happy to be seeing it going,” she said. “It’s almost put our family in financial ruin.”

Elias Seife, Florida, an attorney from Florida, said that their insurance had changed every year since Obamacare was put into place, noting that they had a daughter with a disability.

“I think the real scenario was that this law was supposed to implode … my parents came from communist Cuba, they know what socialism is all about, so I know what socialism is and that’s pretty much what this whole system was meant to have one single provider,” Seife said.

 

[kwc57]

Democrats define success as a few million poor people acquiring insurance they can't afford to actually use and making wealthy successful people pay for it.

Ahhh, take from the rich and give to the poor. Very classic liberalism.

One needs to work full time at 11 bucks an hour to qualify for the ACA. If that is poor then I guess the Fed wage should be raised from 7.25, right or wrong??

Wrong. If you are a grown assed adult who is married and has kids and you are still depending on the wages that a teenager starts out with, you've made some very, very bad life choices long ago that a bump in the minimum wage isn't going to fix. Minimum wage jobs are not the kind of job you live off of. Never have been, never will be.

Poor people get Medicare. Most of us get our insurance from our employers unless we lose or leave our job. Then if you have a pre-existing condition you can't get coverage. Then if you get sick they can cancel you.

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."
Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act - Wikipedia

this is the most expensive option; it is why Congress was supposed to be looking into better solutions, at lower cost.
whatever happened to HMO forms of cost control?

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.

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

WE make less than $5,000.00 a year. We do not qualify for ACA or any assistance of any kind (without a long drawn out legal battle which one could very well die while waiting for it). I was covered in chemicals on the job. Due to the corrupt system here I was denied adequate medical care when it happened. The insurance company and the employer lied their asses off. The insurance company that was supposed to by law make sure I was treated properly didn't. They by law have the right to send an injured employee to the doctor of their choice. That doctor of their choice attempted to give my drugs (very dangerous ones). I refused to take his drugs and I wasn't about to lie like the lawyer said I should and tell him I did. Long and short of that is the state employees and the lawyers, insurance company etc.... all covered their asses and covered up the fact that the insurance companies doctor was actually a drug addict, sociopath who had once previously lost his license for drug abuse and endangering patients. This is what your insurance companies do. You can keep them as they will and would let people die in order to save or make a buck.

Learn how to prevent heart disease and learn what it takes to prevent Gall Stones from forming (take care of your Liver properly). If you get Gall Stones (BTW, everyone has them not all end up a problem) learn what you can do to treat them at home I did. It wasn't easy and it can be very painful but if you don't have insurance and your state won't allow for any medical care even though their doctor says you need it you'll find a way or die. Its that simple.

PC is correct if you absolutely are in dire need a hospital cannot turn you away. I've been there and done that too. Had a creepy doctor call my mom when the children were babes and tell her come get your grandchildren as your daughter is too sick to watch over them. He knew I was deathly ill but sent me home to die because I did not have insurance (long time ago but I recall it like yesterday). My mom came and got the children and left a handyman there to watch over me. I called her and told her I appreciated the thought but did not want him there while trying to crawl to the bathroom when I had to puke. I had Chickenpox that went into my lungs, intestine throughout. Ran a fever of over a 102 for almost a week. Friends came to see me because they had not heard from me for days. Told me they were going out of state and they would be back to check on me in a few hours. If I did not go to the hospital on my own they would call an ambulance. I drifted in and out of consciousness for several hours just like I had been for days. (I won't get too detailed as it would take too long). Anyhow I did not want a bill for an ambulance on top of everything else I couldn't pay so I drove self to hospital. Literally fell through the emergency doors. The hospital kept me there for a week knowing that I had not a dime to pay them. Even today they would do the same or face a very expensive lawsuit for turning away someone at deaths door.

I don't have gallbladder problems or cardiac, I was merely using them as examples. I have insurance, but its people like you who wont and hospitals are not doctors offices, its for people like you who become deathly sick and need to be admitted.

You are the reason we need healthcare for all, so you do not get so deathly ill. I also get so upset to hear that company got out of paying your medical bills and ongoing medical bills.

If doctors are not up on whats available they really become worthless. I would rather people like you put all that effort into cleaning up the corruption and keep the corrupt or idiots like the crooked doctors, lawyers and insurance companies on a string. With all of the medical information online now if people are taught to think verses be drones they can take better care of themselves.

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.

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.

WE make less than $5,000.00 a year. We do not qualify for ACA or any assistance of any kind (without a long drawn out legal battle which one could very well die while waiting for it). I was covered in chemicals on the job. Due to the corrupt system here I was denied adequate medical care when it happened. The insurance company and the employer lied their asses off. The insurance company that was supposed to by law make sure I was treated properly didn't. They by law have the right to send an injured employee to the doctor of their choice. That doctor of their choice attempted to give my drugs (very dangerous ones). I refused to take his drugs and I wasn't about to lie like the lawyer said I should and tell him I did. Long and short of that is the state employees and the lawyers, insurance company etc.... all covered their asses and covered up the fact that the insurance companies doctor was actually a drug addict, sociopath who had once previously lost his license for drug abuse and endangering patients. This is what your insurance companies do. You can keep them as they will and would let people die in order to save or make a buck.

Learn how to prevent heart disease and learn what it takes to prevent Gall Stones from forming (take care of your Liver properly). If you get Gall Stones (BTW, everyone has them not all end up a problem) learn what you can do to treat them at home I did. It wasn't easy and it can be very painful but if you don't have insurance and your state won't allow for any medical care even though their doctor says you need it you'll find a way or die. Its that simple.

PC is correct if you absolutely are in dire need a hospital cannot turn you away. I've been there and done that too. Had a creepy doctor call my mom when the children were babes and tell her come get your grandchildren as your daughter is too sick to watch over them. He knew I was deathly ill but sent me home to die because I did not have insurance (long time ago but I recall it like yesterday). My mom came and got the children and left a handyman there to watch over me. I called her and told her I appreciated the thought but did not want him there while trying to crawl to the bathroom when I had to puke. I had Chickenpox that went into my lungs, intestine throughout. Ran a fever of over a 102 for almost a week. Friends came to see me because they had not heard from me for days. Told me they were going out of state and they would be back to check on me in a few hours. If I did not go to the hospital on my own they would call an ambulance. I drifted in and out of consciousness for several hours just like I had been for days. (I won't get too detailed as it would take too long). Anyhow I did not want a bill for an ambulance on top of everything else I couldn't pay so I drove self to hospital. Literally fell through the emergency doors. The hospital kept me there for a week knowing that I had not a dime to pay them. Even today they would do the same or face a very expensive lawsuit for turning away someone at deaths door.

I don't have gallbladder problems or cardiac, I was merely using them as examples. I have insurance, but its people like you who wont and hospitals are not doctors offices, its for people like you who become deathly sick and need to be admitted.

I agree, people should educate themselves online or find a resource person. , many meds and procedures are not necessary. I don't trust insurance companies, not at all. They will charge for dye when no dye was used, and things like that. One also must insist that all labs and diagnostic tests be done to rule out any other causes of symptoms and they can find online, and always request a copy of the test results . With a good quality family dr and specialists if needed , one should very seldom need to be an inpatient in a hospital unless one needs a surgical procedure or intense IV therapy. Most things can be done out patient now.

"i'm a trauma surgeon and folks in rural Appalachia cannot afford the rising premiums under Obamacare. they are paying the tax penalty and opting out of insurance" - Dr Anthony Sethi, West Virginia surgeon

Donald Trump Meets with Victims of Obamacare at the White House

Trump told the group that he would put into place a better plan that “lowers cost, expands choice, and ensures access for everyone” and promised “more competition and less regulation” in the market place.

“You’ll see rates go down, down, down, and you’ll see plans go up, up, up, you’ll have a lot of choices,” he said.

Brittany Ivey of George said her private insurance rates went up 110 percent, and that even though she was paying $1300 a month for a plan, her doctors wouldn’t take the insurance.

“We’re so happy to be seeing it going,” she said. “It’s almost put our family in financial ruin.”

Elias Seife, Florida, an attorney from Florida, said that their insurance had changed every year since Obamacare was put into place, noting that they had a daughter with a disability.

“I think the real scenario was that this law was supposed to implode … my parents came from communist Cuba, they know what socialism is all about, so I know what socialism is and that’s pretty much what this whole system was meant to have one single provider,” Seife said.

Son's cost him $1,800.00 a month for him and one child.

When I first started my search after we got Internet back last year I met a doctor who is also a naturalist online. Turned out his whole family is mostly doctors or in the health care field. Rod's has had issues with his heart for years that no doctor has been able to explain. This new friend told me what to try so we did and I found the other things we needed. Rod's health started improving too. The VA doctor he last saw about ten years ago asked me, "What do you feed him?" I said "Food". He says' "No really what do you feed him he has the healthiest blood of any patient I have ever seen for his age." I said again, "Food". The guy smiled and looked at me so I told him, "Real food not garbage".

If the country will get back to the basics and quit modifying everything and trying to perfect humans and nature via made man manipulations everyone will be healthier for it.

I was deeply grieved to read that.

Prayers for you and yours.

Thank you. Life was tough back then with worrying about the children and all. It was a learning experience and one more item in the survive the worldly world toolbox. I'll take the time to write it all down in a coherent fashion one day. As far as the chemical BS goes still working on mitigating the damage from it every day. We weren't sure I would survive it all for quite a few years. By having Internet I have been able to do a lot of study on things one can do. Lungs can even be regenerated with the right stuff. I got the Gall Stone deal through doing too much detox at once so another little experience to go by. Don't try to do too much at once I read the hazards cause and effect after the fact. Natural methods do work though. I also learned during all my study that three surgeries over the years could have been avoided. Boy did that piss me off when I found out that the studies were all out there when the docs talked me into having surgery.

God Bless.

That is what Republicans say. May God Bless you. Your little God Bless means absolutely nothing, or I'll pray for you, what he needs is health insurance so he can have a Family Dr and some specialists following him, not Bless you.

Remember when I asked for your opinion?

Me neither.

 

[Penelope]

Let me ask liberals this. Nowhere, in any document, does it state you have a right to free healthcare.

So I'll ask you directly, what are YOU going to do about it? You can't afford it and don't live in 32 states that expanded Medicaid, how is that EVERYONE ELSES problem? I want a new car, but I can't afford it. Should I get the gov't to buy me one?

You don't have a right to free healthcare. You have a right to pay for it like everyone else. Quit blaming everyone else for your problems and get off your ass and work. Make money and buy insurance. If you can't afford it, I'm sorry. This socialist illegal system we have where people are forced to pay for something they dont want and dont need so others can get it for free is coming to an end. It should have never happened in the first place.

Health insurance is like anything else, you get it if you can afford it and good luck if you can't. But you have no right to my hard earned dollars because you can't/don't want/don't have a job.

Being pissed off you're losing healthcare you aren't even paying for and are getting for free by illegal means is like being mad at your husband because he stopped robbing banks to make money and so you can't buy stuff you want. It's the same thing.

Yet you subsidize the congressmen's HI and all state employees and corporations. I call that socialism. You also pay for school vouchers whether you like it or not, prisons, etc. WE send 3.8 billion a year to Israel, which would cover the deficit for 10 years instead of taking away health insurance for everyone.

They will charge for dye when no dye was used, and things like that. One also must insist that all labs and diagnostic tests be done to rule out any other causes of symptoms and they can find online, and always request a copy of the test results . With a good quality family dr and specialists if needed , one should very seldom need to be an inpatient in a hospital unless one needs a surgical procedure or intense IV therapy. Most things can be done out patient now.

When I first started my search after we got Internet back last year I met a doctor who is also a naturalist online. Turned out his whole family is mostly doctors or in the health care field. Rod's has had issues with his heart for years that no doctor has been able to explain. This new friend told me what to try so we did and I found the other things we needed. Rod's health started improving too. The VA doctor he last saw about ten years ago asked me, "What do you feed him?" I said "Food". He says' "No really what do you feed him he has the healthiest blood of any patient I have ever seen for his age." I said again, "Food". The guy smiled and looked at me so I told him, "Real food not garbage".

If the country will get back to the basics and quit modifying everything and trying to perfect humans and nature via made man manipulations everyone will be healthier for it.

I agree and sugar and HFCS is bad, bad. HFCS is metabolized different than regular sugar cane. Its in everything, its caused weight gain more than ordinary sugar, and they, many OB's say that one of the reasons for such big babies today, big does not always mean healthy. Everything we put in our mouth needs to be thought about, I'm not a fanatic, but sugar and HFCS is a no. Nixon started HFCS due to being cheaper and easier to grow than sugar cane.

Low income people will do what they've always done: (1) Access taxpayer-funded providers that we'll all have to pay for, (2) flood ER's for "free" care from hospitals that we'll all have to pay for, and (3) do nothing, let small problems become big, expensive problems, and we'll all have to pay for that.

Does anyone see a trend? You're blind if you don't.

The Republicans are so intellectually paralyzed by talk radio that they think "free market" health care means they'd only be paying for their own care.

Poor people get Medicare. Most of us get our insurance from our employers unless we lose or leave our job. Then if you have a pre-existing condition you can't get coverage. Then if you get sick they can cancel you.

Rightwingnut ignorance would be funny except it's not

"Poor people get Medicare."

Speaking of ignorance, old people get Medicare, poor people get Medicaid.

The poor will be relegated to free or sliding scale clinics where available. Emergency rooms instead of preventive care. Best advice would be to not get sick or if you do, die quickly, so you don't bankrupt your family.
