| You missed my point. I am an engineer. When I was younger I, too, wasted lots of time optimizing the irrelevant. Didn't fix a thing. The ACA/Obamacare doesn't have a healthcare.gov traffic problem, it has a "it's a piece of shit" problem. Of course, this is not the purview of engineers working on healthcare.gov. The point there is that we all get excited about building monuments to technology while completely forgetting the problem that had to be solved in the first place. Someone will invariably say something like "20 million people have insurance now that they didn't have before!" or some other fabricated number. Let me address that now. First. The President of the United States of America promised ME and my family that we could keep our plan, our doctor and, on top of that, we would save $2,500 a year. No need for a link, it's all over YouTube. He made that promise dozens of times. I don't care of one or a hundred million people got insurance. The POTUS made a promise to families. If someone in business made such a promise and then reality was exactly opposite, in an unbelievably grotesque way, the smallest lawsuit for breach of contract and fraud would have them curl-up into a fetal position and cry. Oh, yeah, and the rich part is that they stick the IRS on us. You know, the Gestapo-like, most-feared, we-can-ruin-your-fucking-life agency in the US now has hooks into your healthcare. And this is OK, how? The POTUS lied to all of us. Period. The fact that there are people with insurance now is irrelevant. My family is playing the equivalent of a home mortgage for health insurance. How could anyone even remotely tolerate this from our elected officials. Now, to address the "insured". Most of these people have been shoved into Medicaid. The magic pill that solves it all, right? I am not going to go into a long explanation. ACH/Obamacare represents the largest theft of personal property in the history of this nation. Why? Here, go learn something: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/estate-recover... Short version: These "insured" have signed over their personal assets to the government. All care they receive --by law-- requires reimbursement and the government is REQUIRED by law to recover costs. Wonderful, isn't it? So many people now have insurance! So many people who have no clue the government just sunk their hooks into their estate. What a country! I don't particularly like Trump but I hope he shreds Obamacare to little pieces, it is nothing less than the largest criminal act ever perpetrated on the American people. |
