I don’t understand how you say Trump failed. Trump kept his promises. Obama did not.
Under Obamacare, my insurance doubled. It was still going up.
When I notified the Health Insurance Marketplace of my desperate situation, they were nice and professional enough. I soon got a letter saying I did not have the income to qualify for any Health Insurance Marketplace plan—but would not be penalized for it. Yes, people DID loose their insurance under Obamacare.
Fortunately a clinic where I go was able to get me on Medicare parts A, B, and D—and a State provider (Tenncare) for my secondary insurance. So, the safety net has always been there.
What concerns me is that most of you scoffers at Trump’s plan (which most people don’t know anything about) think that Obamacare helpes the poor. Actually, everyone I know who has been effected is paying a higher rate for less benefits and a higher deductible—and many have lost their doctors. Eventually, what happened to me will happen to the rest of you—and YOU probably make too much to get on Medicare.
Medicare is fine, but I was able to pay for my own insurance in 2015.
I don’t know if Obama is laughing but I will be—when most of you are burned whole by your rates and lack of usable coverage—those of you who wanted this.
