No clue if I wrote this before. But several years ago, my husband was blindsided and lost his job of over ten years from a 9am phone call. Downsized. Send your computer and phone today. My mom did medical billing for ten years. Our insurance was cancelled effective that night at midnight. She had never heard of such plans. We are healthy, no kids and had appropriate "emergency funds" as people should. All that being said, the insurance offered by the government was $800 dollars a month. Mind you, this insurance is being offered because you were just left unemployed. Mind you, we are decently salaried people to begin with. But what sense does it makes to offer "guaranteed" insurance to tide you over, yet unemployment is only $1600 a month max and over half of that is health insurance. Go Obama. And I am the first person to not want government interference and subsidies. But these numbers just don't crunch and for sure do nothing for actual working people to sustain a time of transition. Ahh. Cobra that was the name of the plan. Couldn't remember. Again, in my world, people should manage funds to sustain themselves, but do live in a semi realistic world that life does happen and some people have bad circumstances and health, etc.
That also being said, it was a thought to ponder when a foreign person just could not grasp why our jobs had anything to do with our medical insurance. As with house and auto, we should not depend on our work as to what plans we have.
All that aside, I have also been fortunate to always have good company plans and since obamacare for he first time ever, my dental plan does not cover two free cleanings a year....again as a working person. And all the plans have extremely high deductibles that cover nothing until thousands are paid. So basically an antibiotic is going to cost nearly $500 for an appointment and script.
So that pretty much sums up my view on Obama and Hillary care. Nada. Nil. Nothing. That is how much they care for anyone who actually holds a job.
