Default Affordable Care Act access

If you know anyone who doesn't have insurance currently, or has insurance but isn't covered for some of their pre-existing conditions, or was refused insurance, here's the website to see if they are eligible for insurance under the ACA (temporary pools before the exchanges for everyone are up in 2014)

www.healthcare.gov

For example: I have health insurance now, expensive, and my current health insurer will still not cover me for two pre-existing conditions: asthma, and any future arthritis.

Not very fair, as I don't have problems with either thing the insurer chose to exclude. It also means that in 30 years, if I develop arthritis somewhere, they won't ever pay. What old person doesn't eventually develop some arthritis? Nice racket, huh?

So, I am currently paying alot of money to be insured, but not covered for everything.

I was offered a choice of three plans: a regular type of plan with rather typical deductions and co-pays for about $250 less than I am paying now, a very affordable HSA, and a "luxury" type of plan for about $150 less than I am paying now.

The advantage to all these plans is that all my health problems are covered. For less than I am paying now for partial coverage. And all preventive care is free.

Yes, you bet that today I abandoned my expensive ripoff regular insurer for this. I do have to provide letters from my insurance company verifying they won't cover me for the pre-existings.

And no, Dell, you are not paying for any of it. I am.

Thank you, President Obama.

Carpal is covered on Obamacare. Finding a good doctor is the tough part. Most of the good ones are retiring. They want no part of clown shoes care.

Miss Riot;


I know you are insane,but that is somewhat appealing to me.Are you possibly in need of a FetchBoy? Do you enjoy giving oral sex? Are you pretty? I have a fine dupa, do you?

Please don't ignore me.I would be sad.



All the best,

Tommy The Trained Seal

I am so behooved.



This is interesting.I tried clicking on my name which showed up as the last post in this thread...in this room.You know...from the general view of the whole building.But I kept getting your profile.


So then I figured it must be because you just posted here and the present is faster than the past on this board...for clicking purposes,I mean.



Well I thought it was interesting.

Just pray when this insane plan gets repealed your insurance company doesn't mail you a GFY. BTW who is the company insuring you under your new cover-all plan?

You should seek an instructor.

Ah, both your concerns answered, if only you'd bother to do the most superficial and easy of self-investigation

If only your highlighted stuff made sense. It does not. Try again. Think more slowly, and use your big boy words.
