Somebody Get Me a Doctor - My experience with the Affordable Care Act

from Indecisive Podcast · host MZ Hammer

Somebody Get Me a Doctor by Van Halen live - https://youtu.be/BE1u2xwrSGA As is the case now in the USA, the end of the year is time to choose your health insurance provider. If you participate in the Healthcare Marketplace as established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 open enrollment starts in November and ends on December 15. If you've been through this ordeal then I hope it was easier than my experience. After multiple phone calls and website visits, I have come to the conclusion that some things are made overly complicated on purpose. If people cannot understand something they tend to ignore it. And I think our colossal failure as a society to establish health care as a right and not a privilege is one of those issues. I have heard conservatives use an example of too many people in the boat and someones has to get thrown into the ocean scenario so many times in the past referring to socialized medicine. But that's exactly what our health care system has turned into now with profits being the determining factor. If the health insurance premiums cost as much as your rent or mortgage then I think there is a problem. Especially considering that the $1,300 monthly premium amount is for a health care plan that doesn't cover anything until you've paid the $8,500/$17,100 deductible. $15,600 in total annual premium and I still have to pay out of my own pocket up to $17,100 before my health insurance kicks in?!? This is insane. I have tried to make this all as entertaining as possible. It is a boring subject but as mentioned above I think we have all ignored this for too long. People get sick. People get hurt. Our civilization has advanced to a place where so many physical ailments can be remedied but only if you can afford it. This seems very uncivilized to me. What do you think?
