The Bomb Buried In Obamacare Explodes Today-Hallelujah!

134. You read me incorrectly...

I make no assumption that his legislation is perfect nor that there might not be a major flaw.

I assume it will take further action to get us where we can provide good health care to all. I don't know what that action will be because the act has not been fully implemented. To date the parts that have seem to be working. More people are getting insurance, more people are getting free testing, the donut hole is closing, etc. The insurance companies have tried one or two times to crawl through a rat hole and gotten slapped back.

I am not "taking it personally" in the sense that I think you imply. What I am is offended at how many people on the left dismiss the PPACA as "worthless" because it didn't "go all the way" to a European style health system (or whatever personal model they hold in their head). And as I interact with these people most don't have a clue what is in the legislation. It's a "Well, the box wasn't wrapped in gold paper like I wanted so I don't care to look inside" attitude.

Let me ask you something. Had the PPACA been fully in effect prior to your accident do you think your experience would have been the same?

Or might have (based on the way I anticipate the way things will work) your insurance company put its efforts into getting you treated and keeping you happy? Remember, not treating you would have increased their profits by zero dollars. And an unhappy customer could easily cost them many other customers and "20%s".
