(3,180 posts)they are stuck with talking points that actually defy reality. Many of the plans canceled were actually pretty good, some like my wife's were great. And most of the replacements on the exchange are more expensive, both in premiums and deductibles. I ask you, what good is a $200.00 reduction in premium per month, if the deductible goes up by $4,000 - $8,000?
We were involved in a very bad accident last year. My wife spent 21 days in the hospital with 5-6 surgeries. Every penny of it (and that included the $30,000 helicopter transport) was covered since we had met our $2,700 deductible for the year. Are you ready? The bill came to over $350,000.
So don't tell me her plan is junk. Do you hear me DU, I DON"T WANT TO HEAR IT. Her plan will be canceled next year because it doesn't meet the standards set in the ACA. I'm just beside myself over this. This needs to be fixed, now. Not yesterday, and not with some bullshit one year delay. This rollout is a nightmare, and it ain't going away by putting a bandaid on a sucking chest wound.
And just to be clear, I think the general concept of the ACA is a great idea. But I have to honest, the rollout is sucking big time.
Can you tell I'm a bit passionate about this?
