Yes, Social Security and Medicare have been hugely successful, so let's add another entitlement that has been a train wreck from the get go.

Millions of Americans are being informed they're being dropped from their insurance plans because the plans don't meet minimum Obamacare standards, but President Obama promised that "if you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance."   Was that a boldfaced lie? 

Cause getting dropped for getting cancer was a thousand times better. 

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of shit to get fixed in the ACA, but lets not pretend everything was peachy-keen before. 

And yeah, he lied. It's not cool.

Who is the ACA named after? OBAMA. Obamacare. The ACA is built on a lie. Honestly, is that the sort of legislation you want? You tip your hat to it? A lie? Really?

You were cool with people getting dropped cause they had cancer? Really? You DIDN'T want legislation to fix that?

First of I, I did not bold the part about cancer in the above PP. I think you did that.

Second, I bolded the part in the PP about your comment in reference to Obama lying and how you just said oh so casually, "And yeah, he lied. It's not cool." My post referenced the lying comment. Not the cancer one.

Next, I am not sure how you got that I am okay with people being dropped because they have cancer or another other medical problem (total leap of the imagination there on your part).

And you do realize that people being dropped by plans who have cancer or another illness is JUST AS BAD as someone with cancer or another illness not being able to afford health insurance under the ACA or an employer plan, right? The ACA was supposed to remedy this for people. It hasn't. I has fallen woefully short of any expectations set forth for it.

Debating online is tough enough without a face-to-face interaction, so it behooves us all to pay attention to the actual statements provided by posters and not make comments based on assumptions.

 

Yeah. I did. I bolded it because that was what I was specifically referencing. This is a single page thread, bolding in a quote does not alter your original statement nor is it hard to verify it wasn't bolded originally. It's quite common to do, but I'll try to keep in mind that you find it an attempt to twist your words. 

"And you do realize that people being dropped by plans who have cancer or another illness is JUST AS BAD as someone with cancer or another illness not being able to afford health insurance under the ACA or an employer plan, right?"

Actually, no it's not. I'm sorry, I think getting dropped right before you undergo radiation or chemotherapy is worse then those getting dropped with the ACA change over. My hope is that over the next year states will pull their heads out of the asses and expand medicare for those who are stuck in the middle of not being able to afford insurance and not qualifying for assistance.

Cool. You do that to.
