Catastrophe

Citizens didn’t want Hillary Clinton’s health care plan during Clinton’s presidency and citizens didn’t want Obamacare either, but it was forced on everyone regardless. When government gets involved, it becomes a mess.

If Obamacare was so great, why weren’t congressmen themselves included in the same plan instead of their own Cadillac plan, paid for by the taxpayers?

Right now, 30 million families can’t afford health insurance when monthly costs are equal to or more than monthly mortgage payments and nothing is left for everyday living expenses.

Others pay premiums for high deductible plans. I’m told they’re scared to even use, unless for emergency and, even then, are making payments over years for an ER visit. Hospital costs have skyrocketed because too many non-payers use the ER like urgent care, adding to hospital operating costs; and that’s all passed on to those using the facilities.

Something has to be done when homeless people and others misuse the medical system. A homeless woman living in her vehicle with her dog, who was on oxygen, made daily visits to the ER to replenish her oxygen, costing $100,000 for a year. Who is responsible for letting this happen? Other arrangements should have been made.

Nancy Pelosi, as Speaker of the House, told the party to pass the bill first, learn the contents later. Remember promises that “if you like your doctor on your present plan, you can keep them?”

Since inception, many insurance companies dropped out, making insured people scramble to find replacements, if possible.

Loyal Nancy Pelosi was allowed to use U.S. Airforce aircraft for personal use over two years, costing over $2 million.
