Affordable?

[NoDrama]

Wow I pay for my own healthcare out of pocket and its not $11,000 a year.

 

[ChesusRice]

so are you idiots switching from "no one likes it!!!!" to "most people may like it but..." now?

smooth.

no one saw that coming, except for all of us who did. see the predictions of @ChesusRice during the 2012 elections.

now that people are seeing obamacare, they love it. you'll never get rid of it.

I hope they replace it with the public option

My mother's chemo drugs cost 20k per visit

My mother's chemo drugs cost 20k per visit

no way government involvement can lower that cost like it has in every other wealthy nation with universal health care.

I'm sorry to hear your mom had cancer, I hope she beat it.

In this particular case. No. The government can't lower this cost.
It's a experimental

The free market could lower the cost to almost nothing over enough time, but it would entail risks.

nevermind then. hope it works. know it's been tough on you.

If it wasnt for government the drug would cost 100 bucks a treatment but as No Drama said, there would be additional risks.

LOL nothing says "american" like being swindled for 300 years straight by smoothy talkin salesmen. No one would ever figure that one out.If it wasn't for government a person who got stung by a scorpion in Arizona wouldn't get charged $12,000 for what is a $100 drug just 80 miles away in Mexico.

The US pays on average 5 times as much for drugs here than anywhere else. Government has a monopoly.

nations with universal health care who pay less per capita than we do have heavy government involvement which prevents that. government negotiates prices directly and it works to lower health care costs.

good job on making the case for government involvement in health care.

If you're going to blame anyone it should be the healthcare system as a whole. Unnecessary treatments, over treatments, over medicating etc are more to blame than anything. I suppose hospitals could give up the practice of not refusing to care for the uninsured to keep your costs low.

Such measures are required to stave off the med mal lawyer.

Defensive medicine is expensive medicine.

Obamacare is a disaster.

There's no fucking way the taxpayers can fund our military adequately, AND pay for health care for a bunch of unemployed people. No matter if they deserve it or not.

you know what?

screw you

Cut the military budget and foster the people.

More money for you. WOOO HOOO!!

 

[nitro harley]

your anecdotes are as worthless as your latest sock puppet account, murdoch.

premiums rose 131% in the 10 years before obamacare.

they rose about 4% the last two years.

http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/story/health-care-premiums-rise-5-year-increase-131-decade

that's why obamacare is costing way less than was projected and insuring way more people than projected.

obamacare is a wild success and you are a flailing basket of failure like the racist spammer who started this POS thread.

Buck..

I will post my letter about my nearly 20% increase in health care once again. because you are full of shit about 4%. My monthly payment was 493.00 and it went up to 575.00. So how do you come up with 4% ?

 

[schuylaar]

and prostate exam, viagara, cialis, levitra, staxyn, stendra..

EDIT: little old lady, you don't have to worry, you have MEDICARE and that covers everything.
