stayceem - 2017-01-25 3:37 PM IRunOnFaith - 2017-01-25 3:28 PM I have a friend who also voted for Trump but is scared because her employer only offers Obama Care. Her policy is getting canceled soon and her son is in the hospital and has been for months. He's currently in rehab/physical therapy learning to talk, walk, eat, etc. and when the insurance gets cut off she was informed by the billing department that she will be considered self pay. She then has to start paying out of pocket. They can't afford the cost and are in danger of loosing their spot in the PT department and losing the room they are in to other patients who are waiting who have insurance. They are scared as to what is going to happen when their policy is no longer valid and they cannot pay.
Does anyone have any insight on how the policies will either transfer to a different policy, or if these specific people will have to shop for healthcare? She has her entire family on her plan and has shopped. So far she can't afford insurance for anyone but herself.
Thoughts on transition of policies for healthcare?  I am by no means a guru at this but I am self-employed and I didn't qualify through our state due to income. We have MNSURE, so I had to shop privately and bought insurance. I would assume your friend could do the same?
I was juyst curious if anyone had any insight as to what would happen when the policies run out....
From my understanding, insurance will become more affordable without Obamacare. I pay $300 per month for a $6,600 deductible. And I am 27 without health issues. |

Location: Wild Wild West | Bear - 2017-01-25 2:04 PM brlraceaddict - 2017-01-25 3:17 PM I am trying to reserve judgment so far. I wish he would get to working with Congress on some of these things. I want to give the man a chance - but then he opens up his mouth. Who cares how many people were at the inauguration? Why is he spending time on this and ordering a massive investigation on voter fraud, it's water under the bridge at this point anyway. I agree with some and not with others which is the way of the world of course. I have very liberal friends though that think the sky is falling. They think he is acting like a dictator (and Obama didn't at times?) I have one friend who seriously is worried about not being able to Google things - she is absolutely not joking. Sigh. I get not everyone agrees but goodness people, we have to give him some real time. And time will tell if he will sink or swim. Okay, I just needed to get that out. This is his 3rd day in office. He's been working non-stop. He will get to working with them. I think his seemingly outrageous remarks are deliberate, intended to send the liberal media off on a feeding frenzy where they focus on ripping him apart, meanwhile while they chew on the rotting carcass like flies, he walks in the pantry and steals the cookies. It's a diversionary tactic.
My husband and I were talking about this exact same thing. Like a devirsion. He's pretty smart, I think. Throwing everyone off track. :) |

| Funny thing is our small local weekly paper just came out today. The editor wasn't a Trump fan but in his editorial today he has said that maybe a Trump Presidency is a good thing, he has done more in a few days then several Presidents did in 8 years. I couldn't help but laugh when I read it, maybe he is seeing what we all saw earlier. |

Ours was going up from $700 a month with a $6000 deductible to $1349 a month with the same deductible. We were struggling with the $700 payment so hubby got a job teaching school, now we have $600 a month taken out of his check and the school district pays $900 a month, we have a $3500 deductible now. This is for a healthy family of four, no dental policy. Sad when a Louisiana school teacher doesn't qualify for a subsidy through Obamacare, makes you wonder if anyone who actually works does qualify. |

| I think a fraud investigation is a waste of time and money at this point. Sure they'll find SOME, but I'll be surprised if they find 3 million. Like I said, it's water under the bridge at this point. He may be baiting but he makes himself sound ridiculously petty when he spends time on things like how many attended the inauguration. My two cents only. I truly hope he succeeds - I want him to succeed. It is entertaining to watch the media frenzy right now. |

It's called re-distribution of wealth where the working people have to pay for health care for the people that can't or don't want to work. |

I hate to say it, but that sounds ridiculously cheap to me. I just removed Chandler from my policy and I'm now paying almost 500 for just me. . . . Which I just don't understand why it's so high---maybe I better start shopping around some. |

It's not about finding more votes for Trump, it's about it being ILLEGAL. It needs to be stopped. |

| I'm about an inch away from losing a TON of friends on facebook over their WHINING about Odumbo leaving office. I had to put of with that worthless piece for EIGHT years. GET OVER IT.
Until we take better care of our veterans, we don't need to be taking care of ILLEGALS. They are only coming here for FREE HANDOUTS.

Location: Silver Lake, MN | ND3canAddict - 2017-01-25 2:45 PM A lady that seems to have a good head on her shoulders, posted about a vote on healthcare that supposedly passed in the Senate 51-48... Pretty much made it sound like it would be impossible to ever recieve benefit from healthcare. Went on to say that Paul Ryan has chut his phones off due to the volume of callers.
My gut says it's just another scare tactic, weirdo and random anti-Trump post, but this lady is someone who I really enjoy and trust. Has anyone had time to fact check similar claims? Some of this stuff is flat scary and I hate feeling like I always have my head in the sand (which I do, mostly).
I had seen this as well and was wondering the same thing because all I had read was that it was going to take 1-2 years to make the changes and that people were not supposed to have to go without coverage. But I am not sure on that. I follow things lightly. I cannot deal with all the drama...suck it up people. I didn't care for Obama but I didn't go out and vandalize property because of it.
As for insurance I am a single 39yo, never had any health issues and my premium is $335 a month just for me. My boyfriends is $825 for him and his 2 kids and none have health issues.

Holy crap, I wish I could find a family plan for $500 self pay. I pay almost $600 for MY SHARE of my employer shared plan through BCBS, for a family of 4. It is almost double that if I get it on my own. My husband is self employed and we make too much to qualify for any credits. My cost was set to increase 24% for 2017, or I had the option to take a plan for "selective care" meaning I cannot choose my hospital if we need hospital care.
And we almost never go to the Dr except routine stuff for our boys. $5000 deductible means we pay for everything anyway. My 1 year old went to the ER in October, 1 shot of lidicane and 7 stitches was OVER $1000...after insurance (which paid a whopping $136)! They didn't even clean all the blood off of him. And I took the stitches out myself or who knows how much that would have been.
5 years prior (before ACA) I had to take my first son to the ER for dehydration, fever, and the start of pneumonia. IV fluids, Xray, etc...$44 was my share. |
