Obama Administration Says More Than 100,000 Have Selected a Health Plan

25. How come this plan was not "enlightened" enough to come into compliance with the ACA? Do you have

all the details here? If this was an enlightened plan, it seems it would be covering everyone, even those with pre-existing conditions, it would be covering about everything, ....???? So why was it not in compliance? Was it refusing to cover certain segments of the population? How was it not able to be grandfathered? Did they explain everything?

As to your accusation about me not being willing to listen and just wanting to bludgeon away, I personally experienced what it means to be screwed around with by a SHITTY bare-bones insurance plan and SHITTY service from it. So I for one am very pleased that this law is about correcting these SHITTY plans and getting people into real plans. The law deserves some time. The idea is that once we get the FORTY MILLION people without healthcare into the system both through subsidized, reduced-cost plans on the exchanges, and expanded Medicare, costs will come down across the board. We MUST get EVERYONE covered.

I sympathize with your situation, but am wondering why the county plans are having such a problem complying with the law. Perhaps you could enlighten me with the details.

I would be open to a bill that would extend plans such as yours, if it really was a decent plan, until these transitional bugs can be worked out. The thing is, without MEDICARE FOR ALL, which is what we really should have, we have all these different plans bumbling around, some better than others, many undeniably SHITTY and CRAPPY that changed all the time, didn't cover much, dropped people all the time, ... That is something that HAD to be FIXED. An insurance plan should be actual INSURANCE that COVERS THINGS without massive co-pays, deductables, can jack up rates at a moment's notice, kicks people off left and right, refuses to insure...THAT is the CRAP we are talking about and it was rampant across the country before the ACA with 40 MILLION AMERICANS WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE going to emergency room.

FINE, WE CAN TWEAK THE LAW AS NEEDED, BUT GIVE THIS LAW TIME. IT NEEDS A FAIR CHANCE TO WORK.
