Then me for example - After having surgery - I lost my job, then my health insurance. I'm now either too rich or too poor to be eligible for Medicade, Medicare, or Obamacare - so essentially I've been royally fucked.
Universal Healthcare is nice - however, I don't see how it is applicable to privatized hospitals due to a conflict of interests.
many of the republican governors who rejected the Medicaid expansion are starting to think about accepting it (since it is an utter disaster for their states as you well know).
it is baffling to me that politicians can choose to screw over their people they way yours are screwing you.
Indeed - I work, pay my taxes and follow the law - yet me among others are the ones who take the blunt end. Either I choose food or health insurance, and getting Obamacare isn't going to guarantee my ability to receive care - as the hospital and state I reside in is fighting it and threatening to up premiums or have their doctors straight up refuse those holding Obamacare. I'd have to literally travel 300 miles north to get care because the hospital near me has threatened to deny Obamacare - and owns one of the largest hospital conglomerates that stretches through-out the state. So *knocks on wood* may we hope my income rises enough to be included into the assistance program and I don't become sick further til then.
