How did you manage to scam that? On your parents policy?
I'm 32 years old dude. No scam. What you all call Obamacare is actually called the affordable care act. And for good reason. Me being a full time student with $0 income, I qualify for Medi-cal.
I may not get to see the best doctors, and the hospital waiting rooms blow, but at least I'm not terrified of the bill if I have to call and ambulance.
if you had 0$ income you qualified for medicare/medicaid in not fucked states already
Incorrect, a single white male qualified for almost nothing, except $200 (189 as of Nov 2013) in food stamps if you are jobless and homeless. Now tehy can also get Healthcare.
Not sure if you guys ever heard about the situation with my teeth, they used to be horrible and really fucked up, just because I could afford the cost of simple filling or two, I got abcesses on occasion that would have killed me, and I couldn't find a single dentist that would even write me a scrip for antibiotics. Fish antibiotics saved my life, also found a dentist willing to let me work off the cost of fixing my teeth for a shitload (almost $5k) of landscaping work.
Now days, that wouldn't be an issue at all. I am far from the only person with issues like that. People with diabeetus that can now get insulin, that couldn't afford it (not type II, fuck those fatties) talking people born with it. There are countless stories just like that. And sure a lot of people are getting screwed, but a lot more people that really need it are benefiting from it. In my opinion I think it's doing a lot more good than harm.
Mitt Romney, the guy a bunch of you said you wanted to vote / or did vote for instead of Obama, you do know he did the same thing with Healthcare in his state right? The only reason he didn't support this is because he's a republican and his name wasn't on it.
It was only a matter of time before this happened, and I'd be willing to bet it sticks. The people will vote to keep it.
