567. What could be worse than the ACA?

The answer is easy, no ACA.

There are many deficiencies in the ACA, chief of which is it goes nowhere near far enough to reign in the insurance companies.

There are no requirements that they offer individual policies in a state where they write group insurance. So here in NJ we have a distinct lack of choice. There is little to require broad networks and nothing to require PPOs which provide out-of-network choice.

It is still too easy for insurance companies to deny claims and make life difficult at best for someone who needs specific care or medication.

And the definition of affordable often strains the definition.

Unfortunately this bill was the best that our corrupt, dysfunctional Congress could write and pass. It is nowhere near what most of us would like to have been the result.

Perhaps Obama, if he had been a more experienced arm twister, could have gotten a better bill written. We are damn lucky we got what we did and to lay the blame on Obama is just an understandably emotional rant.

Sure throw Obama and the rest of the Dems under the bus. You think it can't get worse? Sure it can.

Our 'representative' government sucks. Most people are uninformed. Politicians just throw shit on the wall and whatever sticks they go with. Who here thinks the Republicans will enhance the ACA vs. gutting it? They're busy throwing a lot of shit and if enough sticks then we can get back to the good old pre-ACA days.

And you won't be able to kick Obama around anymore.
