    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    No doubt. I have heard those stories as well and don't for a second doubt that insurance companies can be ruthless. We didn't have any issues with the actual insurance we had once it was in place.

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    You either misunderstood me or I didn't do a good job explaining it. When my wife had her surgery we thought we were covered but a paperwork snafu by the insurance company and by us not following up had us not covered. We were actively looking for insurance when my surgery was needed. My wife...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    Keep in mind I was never speaking for the entire nation. Only referenced how it impacted me. No doubt these things were happening to others pre ACA I never indicated otherwise. My situation happened as a result of the policy. I agree if you are not an expert ( my self included ) it can be...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    First off let me apologize for my post to you. It was uncalled for. I don't like being called a liar and I let my emotions on this topic get the best of me. Again I apologize and if I have points coming then I deserve it. I too have seen posts get shot down regarding this topic, so maybe...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    I stand corrected. If this is truly the case then I apologize for my comment. Where you are wrong is in the fact that I do pay a lot for insurance and more than I did pre ACA. I understand premiums increased and although that is a concern, it was more the fact that we lost our insurance due...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    I couldn't care less what you think. The question was asked whether ACA negatively or positively impacted my life. I answered honestly. I suspect I am also paying for your healthcare which is likely why you are a big fan of ACA.

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    Is your stupid ass trying to say my wife did not lose our health insurance? Are you trying to insinuate it had nothing to do with the ACA policy being implemented? If you don't think this policy negatively impacted some Americans then you are bigger dumb ass than I gave you credit for. As...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    Tell ya what. I have the papers on my desk. Let me black out the personal info and I will snap a pic and post it on here. Might be tomorrow afternoon before I can get it up here. This is a Blue Cross Plan and we are much further south than any of the counties you mentioned. Not sure if that...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    You can believe whatever you want. Truth is there are plenty of stories out there that are the same as mine. You have to understand that our insurance before was affordable, sufficient for our needs. When that all ended it became very expensive and the coverage was the same. I don't see how...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    Well we were told we could not keep the same policy we had. We could not stay in the pool we were in either. We def had an issue with the employer no doubt. More so than with ACA. Those issues eventually led to her leaving that employer. Everything was fine until ACA passed that is when we...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    Good catch. I was simply using that as a way to show we are pretty healthy, without a lot of claims. Only one child that is now 21. We had to pay for her surgery due to a paperwork error on our part. When she initially signed up for the plan it was about the same time she had to have the...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    I am not getting any younger that is for sure. I know your pain man. My crew chief of 6 years had three strokes in a matter of 2 days that left him paralyzed on his entire right side. Can't talk and barely walks. I have known the guy his whole life. Always a hard worker and to see him this...

    How has "Obamacare" impacted your life?

    I was supposed to be at Golden Isle last week and Volusia this week but I have too much work to do. The car and other driver are down there now. 40 laps for $2500 is the norm for fairly big events anymore. Volusia payout will be much better but it's also a bigger event. You going to any big...
