I question for you all about this new insurance

[410th]

Ok lets say that I have had a medical card for a while now, but now I can go out and get insurance on my own. (I am thinking that if you have a medical card a trip to the doctor or emergency room, I am out of pocket nothing. I have never had one so don't really know, correct me if I am wrong about this). Lets say that I am a very low income individual and due to the cost of living I cant seem to get any thing into a saving account for a rainy day. Now I find insurance that pays 60 to 80 percent of the bill and want to get rid of the medical card. What I don't understand who pays for the other 40 to 20 percent of the bill? Why would I want to go out and pay for something I was getting for free in the first place.

Just don't understand this new deal with insurance.

if you have a good job, you most likely have a good insurance plan. so just keep what you have. you don't have to change. Obamacare will help folks that, work for a company that keep their workers part time, so they don't have to offer them health insurance. if you are a part time worker, Obamacare has a plan for you, you pay a small part of the premium, and the uncle sam pays the rest. if you have been turned down for health insurance because you had a pre existing condition, Obamacare has a plan for you, if you are a very sick person and the cost of your medication is over 1500.00 a year, and 1500.00 is all your current insurance will pay, leaving you to pay the rest. Obamacare has a plan for you, with no yearly medication cap. I don't understand very much about it myself, but I can see where it will help a lot of folks, myself I'll just keep the coverage I have.

Thanks I think I understand it a little more now.
