"Today, the law builds on these benefits, requiring new, non-grandfathered private health plans"
The idea was right, the execution was so pro-insurance companies it was outlandish the way this was written.

Quote:
then, they said one way to keep costs down was to expand medicaid so as to prevent high priced er visits, etc. but the tool to force that expansion was removed. (by the way, a recent study showed non-insured were no more likely to go to er's for non emergencies than those with coverage, but that didn't get much play). so, states who don't wish to expand, probably won't-thus leaving the poorer without. and actually, obamacare didn't provide 100% coverage anyway. there would still be a sizable group that couldn't get coverage. take into consideration that big pharma had a big say in obamacare...well, we know who ultimately put it all together. now, to sit back and watch what happens next.

geeker, that paper above reminds me of the 'free' colonoscopies. they are free only as a screening. if one polyp is found and removed, it has now become treatment, not just diagnostic-thus, will be billed for a couple thou, not free.
patients have not been happy upon waking and being presented with a bill. now, it helps the patient because the polyp is now gone. but it sure helps the place conducting the test, doesn't it?

Geeker, your paper has nothing at all to do with the ACA, it's a reflection of what your private insurance company did.
In fact, some of those limitations your insurance company dinked you for, listed, have been eliminated by the ACA. That's the point. ROR!
