I question for you all about this new insurance

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.

Billy[/QUOTE] 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.

Folks at IBM had great insurance..then ****-bama care came along. IBM cancelled their insurance as quickly.as they could...why blame them.....it made good BUSINESS sense to...millions will lose their good I.insurance and will be.forced.to the ultra shitty exchanges....I hope you like the hope and change.....
