Uh Oh-bamaCare

at this point, I know at least 200 people utilizing the exchanges. Not one of them has or had any trouble affording basic level policies. Not one.
What is this nonsense about how 'no one' can afford it? Oh yes, just Pud blowing smoke out of his ass again.

and they all report to you on a weekly basis.....

Ya don't read much....do ya?

Then there's them 'basic level' policies...with the 'high dollar' deductibles....ya know, like ten grand....

By all means...let's not mention enrollment numbers...and those who've dropped out....

How many folks you know? With no health insurance?
If'n yer answer is none...go hang out at the local ER on a friday and saturday night....

I know exactly 5 people with ZERO health insurance. In every case it is because they are lazy. No one has a 10K deductible either, among my fellow exchange purchasers.

[Pudfark]

What's yer buddies average deductible? "$9,999.99"

The 'five' that you purport to know...is smarter than you. They get faster/better care for free....as they always, have.

I chose to move our deductable up to $2000 this year. Most of my friends hover between 2 and 5 thousand, which is sort of the sweet spot to not waste money on premiums, yet prevent a medical expense debacle. Works for me.
