So now we listen to David Gergen?

[questionseverything]

72. actually i think sending someone who acknowledges there are

problems with the aca and is willing to work with others to fix them is exactly what is needed

if we sent someone who pretends the aca is perfect the average joe knows they are lying or misinformed or whatever

that is one part of how trump rose to power...democrats not listening

for everyone the aca helped I am grateful but for the over 50 group making too much for subsidies and not enough for a $1400/month insurance policy with a 14 grand deductible...it is not much help ( in theory once you lose everything you would get Medicaid but that isn't much consolation)

you personally called me a liar or misinformed or whatever about the aca when I first brought my concerns to du.....you are part of the problem

last year I went on the exchange for my state...because we are self employed I never know exactly what we will make....so I plugged in 42 grand a year...at that level I could get a policy with a 7 grand per person deductible(for me and spouse that would be 14 grand a year if we actually had the things done we need done) for free

but at 52 grand a year the same bad policy is over 1400 bucks a month...do the math they don't even leave me money to pay my ss taxes

this is the cliff people are talking about that some here on du will not acknowledge

now you are splitting hairs over what to call other systems around the world

please stop...we just want the same coverage as the folks get that our tax dollars are subsidizing
