IF many US citizens are:
1. Having their existing health-insurance plans CANCELLED and replaced by “ObamaCare-compliant” plans that have HIGHER premiums, HIGHER deductibles, and narrower networks of doctors and hospitals
2. Being offered GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES (paid by you, the average taxpayer) so they will be able to AFFORD the HIGH premiums
HOW CAN IT EVER BE CALLED THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT??
Calling-all-RushBabes 
Rushbabe, a good friend of mine was bumped off his insurance policy (one that he liked) last November, and had to shop around for a new one because of Ocare. This gentleman is around 64. He finally took one with a bit higher premium and a lot higher deductible, and said ‘well, I’ll just have to stay healthy.’ Just a week ago he slipped on ice on his deck, fell & broke his ankle – needed 3 screws put in. He told me he has to pay for just about all of that surgery because his deductible is so high. ‘Affordable’ was not how he described it!!
And it was good to hear you on the AMU – you speak right up and directly too – I know we’ll have a great conversation if you come out East in the summer!
Thanks very much for the nice words. I’m guessing we won’t get much sleep when we get there.
And I’m exactly the same age as your friend who got bumped (in more ways than one). Counting my blessings that hubby’s Union-contract policy is in place until 2016.
