Obamacare Sign-Ups Reach 8.8 Million as Repeal Efforts Start

Get angry. These hypocrites fight against their own plan and then deny Medicare expansion, making it unaffordable. Been actively trying to make Obama look bad since day one!

I'm healthy and have good insurance. My boss has the same insurance but also had his entire descending aorta replaced. Before that, he had a aneurysm repaired in his ascending aorta or it would have burst leading to near instant death. He is going to be on expensive medication for the rest of his life. Before the ACA he would have hit his insurance lifetime cap which eventually would have led to bankruptcy to keep himself alive and then death.

That can happen to any of us and is one of the many things the ACA prevents. My boss is not impoverished or a deadbeat, he is the CTO at a reasonable sized company and works hard. Through no fault of his own from the insurance company's perspective he is now more expensive to keep alive than the amount of revenue he generates for them. If the Republicans just repeal the ACA without replacing it and things go back to the way they were, he will die after the inability to get insurance bankrupts his family, full stop. There's your death panel.

UnitedHealth Group has projected cumulative losses totaling close to $1 billion from Obamacare individual marketplace plans for 2015 and 2016. There going to pull out - driving the cost even higher.
