Affordable Care Act my ass! Lmao smdh!...

""" To promote the Oct. 1 debut of the
exchanges, the online marketplaces
where consumers can shop and buy
insurance, Obama administration and
Illinois officials touted the lower-
than-expected monthly premiums that
would make insurance more
affordable for millions of Americans.
But a Tribune analysis shows that 21
of the 22 lowest-priced plans offered
on the Illinois health insurance
exchange for Cook County have
annual deductibles of more than
$4,000 for an individual and $8,000
for family coverage.
Those deductibles, which represent the
out-of-pocket money consumers must
spend on health care before most
insurance benefits kick in, are higher
than what many consumers expected
or may be able to stomach, benefit
experts said.
By comparison, people who buy
health insurance through their
employer have an average individual
deductible of just more than $1,100,
according to the Kaiser Family
Foundation.
Although millions of Americans will
be eligible for federal assistance to
help offset some of those costs,
millions will not, underscoring one of
the trade-offs wrought under the law's
goal to ensure most people have access
to health insurance.
"It's been major sticker shock for most
of my clients and prospects," said Rich
Fahn, president of the Northbrook-
based insurance broker Excell Benefit
Group. "I'm telling (clients) that
everything they know historically
about health plans has changed. They
either have to pay more out-of-pocket
or more premiums or both. It's an
overwhelming concern."
Plans with the least expensive
monthly premiums — highlighted by
state and federal officials as proof the
new law will keep costs low for
consumers — have deductibles as high
as $6,350 for individuals and $12,700
for families, the highest levels allowed
under the law.""""

Link. And its from the Chicago Tribune btw....a very credible source.

Smh. I've seen people posting about the costs and such, nobody seems to be able to afford this 'affordable care'

@WalkSoftly1: I think the ACA is just a big waste of time for Congress to debate about from week to week because Obamacare is what started the government shutdown in the first place in my opinion.

@Joshua198924: Oh but its the Republicans fault for the shut down dontcha ya know for not agreeing with the democraps. GOD FORBID THE MAN WOULD EVER EXCEPT BLAME FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS ......HELL WOULD PROBABLY FREEZE OVER FIRST!

Oh no its not a waste of time to debate....the administration wants the debate to go away so consumers wont hear abt that monstrosity of a fu.ck up...its needs to be debated EVERYDAY till its frikkin repealed.
