You are missing a very important point.
Obamacare is a complete farce on many points.
First, it claims million of people who didn't have insurance are now insured. The truth is they were shoved into Medicaid.
Second, this is NOT health insurance! This is you incurring a debt with the State and one they are obligated by law to collect on by grabbing your estate.
Third, NOBODY is forewarned when they sign on the dotted line that the family home and their entire estate is at risk of being appropriated by the government and that nothing whatsoever might remain for the kids to inherit.
Given healthcare costs it isn't too much of a stretch to conclude that getting sick with anything that requires hospitalization, surgery or extended care will result in a bill so large that most people's estates will be depleted before heirs can see a dime of inheritance.
To me this is sick underhanded government robbery. If a private enterprise swindled people into contracts with such consequences people would end-up in jail. Yet in government you can do this, you can lie, cheat and steal from people and suffer no consequences whatsoever.
This is way past wrong.
- TheCoelacanth 10y agoYou are very wrong on the first two points. First, millions of people who didn't have health insurance now do. Not Medicaid, private insurance. There are also millions of new Medicaid recipients. Second, most of the Medicaid coverage is not debt. Only coverage of one specific thing is debt; all the other coverage is not taken from the estate.
