Heather Boushey Discusses Plans To Reopen Obamacare Enrollment For Those Impacted By Covid | MSNBC
What a joke. Obamacare was never for the people. More money foe elite.
As a breast cancer survivor, I could not afford health insurance if not for the ACA. Stop telling lies.
@Deborah Freedman It’s not a lie. Most people can not afford it. Insurance kick backs for rich people.
@Karlene Logan it is a lie. Its designed so that most people *can* afford it. Youre peddling fear and sowing doubt where needn’t be.
@yes hello No one I know can afford it. Not fear truth. They want more then half my income for one month’s coverage.
People living in the 16 states whose governors refused expanded Medicaid got screwed royally.
Is Obama Care something that should be added to Medicare?
Who thinks GOP is working for healthcare insurance companies?
Do you know how many Dems get Health company money..your ignorance is actually scary
Healthcare should be available always, not just during enrollment periods! Just make universal healthcare already
Give them back their Obama card it’s useless when they hand to to the clerk to check out.
it’s like some people are begging for their taxes to be raised even higher. Truth is, bnot 1 single person in America is denied healthcare, period.
@Mike Ditka you are stating facts I know a family where the husban is in and out of jail the wife is deadbeat will not work and gets food stamps and the 3 kids that are in their 20’s don’t work because they smoke weed daily. But they don’t seem to have to pay when they go to the hospital for all their health issues. True story.
@Mike Ditka You are a delusional trumpanzee with a shiny new account.
@Mike Ditka Lie.
No. Just wait 2 more weeks. Trump will come out with a beautiful Healthcare like you’ve never seen before. 😏
👍
Having access doesn’t mean being able to afford it.
IF IT’S GOING TO HELP PEOPLE GET HEALTH COVERAGE I’M ALL FOR IT!!
Agreed!
Access to affordable healthcare is one of the biggest problems in America.
The fact that republicans’ answer to that is “do nothing” just goes to show how much they prioritize the corporations over the people.
Dems could pass Medicare for all right now..They won’t
….is that GOPs evil doing?
We should not have had to rely on the Republicans. The ACA was an all democrat plan. We wrote it, we formulated it, and we sold it to the American people. Not one Republican voted for it so why should we have expected them to do anything about the ACA. We should’ve fixed it but we didn’t. We sat on our hands and got too involved with that impeachment thing in the Russian thing. We got sidetracked and we sat on her hands.
Hey Donny, Obama’s healthcare is live and well. Where’s your plan?
What if you can’t afford to enroll is that Trump’s fault too..guess your against Medicare for all..
This will make them RRREEEEEEEE
Obamacare is unconstitutional.
Medicare for all sounds like a good idea. Geez
Healthcare has been the worst thing I’ve dealt with last year, a simple procedure is something I’m still having a hard time with due to insurance, the doctors are actually nice and complain on my behalf about how messed up the system is but they legally can’t do anything, and I have dumb conservatives saying I can’t have free healthcare I’m willing to pay taxes into as opposed to private companies because they’re afraid I’m going to take their stuff!!! Seriously I had a guy give me “thoughts and prayers” while railing against the thing that could help me, please for this countries health we can’t listen to the people who would rather stay the same than change something clearly wrong!
@Mike Ditka do you want to speak to my insurance and doctors and tell them that please! They’ll give me care that’s not a president the problem is they charge me 10 grand and even the doctor is saying that’s the hospitals price, their are other options but I’d have to start the process again, I’ve been waiting since July!!!!!!!!
@Mike Ditka People living in the 16 states whose governors refused expanded Medicaid are denied medical care all the time unless they pay in full up front.
@Constituent A they won’t respond they’re talking points don’t match up to real life
@Constituent A That is absolutely not true unless they didn’t have any type of insurance whatsoever, which is NEVER smart. You do realize the difference between medicaid and medicare, right? and as a matter of fact you can be eligible for both.
@Mike Ditka Yes, I know the difference between Medicaid and Medicare. Over half the workforce earns less than $38,000 per year. Insurance of any kind was out of reach for them. They are indeed denied medical care unless they pay in full up front.
Medicare for all please
Why didn’t we fix the ACA when we first saw that the promised savings did not materialize. The ACA got off to a terrible start in the beginning because sadly, it was sold to the American people on a lie. We remember when President Obama stated we could keep our insurance and we could keep our doctor, that turned out to be untrue. Then we had the MIT professor who advised President Obama and he was on record as saying that Americans were stupid if they think that somebody else is going to pay for their healthcare.
We should have fixed the ACA to make it the best health insurance in the world. Instead we got wrapped up in the Russian thing in the impeachment thing and then we waited for Trump to try to fix it but he did not. We should not have waited for Trump because the ACA was a total 100% Democrat plan and it was up to us to do something about it to make it better. Sadly, we sat on our hands.
The ACA Should be up on alternative that Americans can select if they don’t want to get involved in a private insurance plan. We should’ve fixed it along time ago but we didn’t.
For a administration that promised going forward sure is going back to same ole failures of the past.
Democrats really don’t learn. Keep it p and the American people will vote in another Trump
Not this Obamacare again! It was an absolute disaster that both sides agreed to fix. Now Biden wants to bring back the original Obamacare as it was? I cant wait for President Harris to take over.
