What I'm saying is that at the low end of the wage scale Obamacare is a public health hazard. You have people avoiding necessary healthcare because the money for deductible or medication isn't there.
- MichaelApproved 5y agoIt was even worse before the ACA. At least with Obamacare, you (likely) won’t go bankrupt if you break a leg. You also get preventative care fully covered (or ~$30 copay) even with plans that have $6,000 deductibles. That includes both low & high cost items, like annual physicals and colonoscopies. No, Obamacare shouldn’t die (as you said in an earlier comment) but it should be replaced with something that improves on what it’s already done. Personally, I favor Medicare for all.
- csa 5y agoI believe what you are saying is true in some instances at some scale, but I wonder if what you say is the median case or a sample case that you’ve been fed by an anti-ACA source. My anecdata for people on ACA is that it works pretty well, with a caveat that premiums are high due to various misaligned incentives in the US health care system.
