BS

     RED - anger, frustration...I do not quite understand this whole affordable health care act.  I read all of it - followed proceedings on C-Span (had some down time) Still, after trying brokers, insurance specialist from hospitals, on line sights, searched and searched - NADA!
     Finally, today I surrendered to some thing they said was healthcare - I think I have been duped.  Tomorrow I will call and cancel it!
     Pre-existing conditions were supposed to be eliminated. They are except for when they aren't. All that fine print. Actually, there is no fine print. Some slick, fast talking salesman went so fast - and don't interrupt because they are recording. If you have questions wait until he turns off the recorder. Why can't my questions and his answers be recorded? In and of itself that is a big RED flag!
     I need health coverage. It is what it is. Despite the rhetoric spewed across TV screen and written in that entire document.  Health care is not affordable, nor is it accessible - well not if you actually need healthcare.  If you are young and healthy you have nothing to worry about.
      Terms and conditions, pre-existing conditions, major medical, doctors have to bill through hospitals, does not meet requirements of mandatory health coverage; so you still have to pay the tax.  You many not have major surgery for 12 months.  What is major surgery? Well, actually all surgeries are major. You can stay in hospital for 31 calendar days a year - after that you are on your own. You can see a doctor 3 times a year - after 30 days; or 12 months if your seeing a doctor for a pre-existing condition.
     How can I erase 20 years of my life?
     Oh, your disabled, well get medicare.  Not eligible for medicare because I do not get SSI. I receive disability from California Teacher's Union. In which case I am not eligible for medicare unless I am blind, disabled, or pregnant. What part of I am on disability are they not comprehending?
     I am not for government in my life. Don't believe in taxes on necessary items - like food or toothpaste or aspirin. Don't believe government belongs in my home. Don't believe government belongs in my church, nor my church in my government. I follow speed limits because I am a member of humanity. This is the right thing to do. Wearing a seatbelt - if I am fool enough not to, that is my business.
     So while the government wants to tell me who I can marry, how much of my money they can have, how much a gallon of gas is going to cost me, and on and on and on - when I turn to them; checkbook in hand to abide by their "affordable health care for everyone." I find out once again, I am not a part of that everyone.
     So, onward I go.  Move forward.  Back to my internet searches and fielding phone calls from crooked brokers who just spew mistruth and twisted truth and half-truths. Wish me a bit of luck.
