Affordable Care Act



Recommended Posts

The race card was pulled throughout his campaigns.. it was all they had.. They had to have a defense against all of the other issues he had... no experience, a 2 year Jr. Senator.. who voted absent throughout his term.. He had no business experience whatsoever,, raised by communist mother and grandparents.. His own minister was and is one of most anti-white people ever... preached hate against whites for 20 years and our President says he didn't know about it.. Seems like after everything that has happned since his election the healthcare law and other things like IRS targeting conservatives, and the list goes on and on ... Some people are waking up.. Sadly if you speak out against anything this President does you are labeled as a racist.. I am sad that we are unable to communicate our concerns about the failed healthcare law without being called names.. You are right Missy anyone who uses that term against anyone who has a different opinion about the ACA and Mr. Obama is a moron...

Isn't America wonderful! You have the right to speak your mind and share your thoughts without fear of recrimination. You do not however have the right to disparage or call people names no matter who they are or what group, race, creed or sexual orientation they may identify with.

Just because one person shows their ignorance and lowers themselves by making absurd comments doesn't mean you have to do the same lest you identify with the very people you claim to disapprove of. Lets be the adults we are refrain from behaving like 5 year old's on the playground picking on and calling each other names.

Thank you

Lisa it was more than one person who pulled the race card.. and I call it like I see it.. If you are ignorant enough to call me a racists I will call you a moron.. Nobody knows me or my heart.. I don't have to defend how I feel .. believe me I have debated and discussed the so called Affordable Care Act at nauseum.. sick of it and sick of how divided our Country is now...

Back on point about Insurance issues....people should be aware of another fact, something that Insurance companies, and notably medicare pulls all the time....

They will say they will approve and cover a procedure...Obamacare boasts about this all the time, a big selling point......BUT actually paying or covering the cost is another thing entirely....

I see it everyday...patients happy that they wee told their insurance will cover/approve something, but the fine print states there is no guarantee they will cover the cost...

Medicare will cover all sorts of things, but only pay for the absolute lowest rock bottom, cheapest, inexpensive, a Chinese knock offs (ie; pacemakers, artificial knees, hips) that they can find....

Just be aware...we shall see...

I received my open enrollment paperwork yesterday and my premium is doubling. Not for sure if this is due to the Affordable Care Act, because my premium has been going up, up and away for the past several years.

How about your deductibles and copays?

I would venture to say that a doubled premium is due to the ACA. Most premiums rise at intervals, but this time around is a huge hit for most.

Let the games begin!

Nearly EVERY developed country has some form of public health care already in place. I'm just sayin'

Well, my co-pay went from$30 to $42 for specialists. I see my WLS Doctor once a month. I will be paying $12 more per month. I know, it doesn't sound like a lot but $12 a month when you're on a fixed income hurts. That's $144 a year so affordable care act? I don't know. I hope WLS will still be covered. I find this all very scary.

my premium was lowered but my ded. went from 2500.00 to 3500.00, I mean who can reach that for Pete's sake. Yes I reached my ded. this year due to health probs and in/out of hospital and also I will be losing all lap band aftercare with Anthem BCBS KY, they will no longer cover any bariatric surgeries or any aftercare so I will be paying out of pocket for fills from Jan on, sux! I'm not in the green zone yet and I see my surgeon once a month still. When 2014 gets here and all gets into play, I believe everyone will be singing a different tune about ACA/Obamacare. I mean what happened to Pres Obama promising me that I get to keep my ins, NO I DIDNT, Anthem BCBS changed my policy to something totally different and I pray it covers as good as I've got now on prescrips and dr visits. If I wanted governed healthcare I'd live in Canada!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
