Define 'crap'.
My plan was fine, covered everything I needed, my deductible was manageable, and my copays reasonable.
Now they want to eliminate the copays, raise the deductible, and raise the premium.
Exactly why was my old plan 'crap'?
my parents are on medicare, and i have insurance, so probably not. we will talk about the best way to steal money from rich people in order to give it to the lazy poor, though. then we'll giggle madly, lick blood from our palms, and light cigars with our welfare checks. after dessert, we plan to burn the Koch brothers in effigy.

Not sure those are comparable. That crappy car is no good if it doesn't do the job.
You see, you don't really know what's good for you. Where as the Washington DC liberal / progressive / Democrats really know what you need far, far better than you do, as it typical for any liberal / progressive / Democrat.
My advice? Keep voting for them, and you'll get more of the same.
First, if a policy doesn't cover things needed, it's crap. Many did not cover enough on the whole. As these are group polices, you personally are not the issue.
I'll look for it later, as I'm about to leave for awhile, but PBS put out a report showing little of these drops are actually related to ACA, but the normal yearly drops that occur often, and have occurred over the years. But, companies are more than willing to let you blame ACA.
The poll question does not match the accompanying post question. So my answer is no to the poll question and likely yes to the post question.
It does "the job" but it may require the user to pay for more "out of pocket" maintenance costs. The idea behind these "better" policies is that they cost more in premiums yet have lower added "out of pocket" costs - that is wonderful if you get premium subsidies and perhaps even a bit better in the few years that you need lots of expensive medical care but, on balance, you will pay more in the majority of years when little or no medical care is used.
I'm quite certain that my fiance is praying nobody brings it up on Thursday. There's already enough drama in her family and having me verbally assault whoever might try to "sell" it at dinner is not going to help anything.
For clarity, this is what he is talking about: It's time to have the talk
On the list of things to bitch and complain about, this doesn't even merit consideration.
On this same note, John Cook at SLATE has written an article about how to start fights with your family at Thanksgiving.
I found this to be a rather funny bit of satire ... until it was pointed out by Mediaite that John Cook really is an industrial sized douchebag to his family and that the advice he gives in his article pretty well match what his poor wife says about his behavior at family gatherings.
So maybe it was never intended to be satire at all.
John Cook is basically a horse's ass with a keyboard. F that guy.
Organizing for Action has urged Americans to go to their Thanksgiving dinners armed with talking points ready to talk to family about Obamacare.
Are you going to be one of them?
Read with intended sarcasm?
Well, if it's discussed in your presence, Fisher, be prepared for lots of dumbass comments. Most people don't know **** about it. You, on the other hand, know more than the average bear.

I'd be interested to see how that applies to my, and many people's, situation.
I know more about our coverage then the Average Joe.... believe me, it wasn't crap.
Does a 55 year old man need maternity coverage and the Pill for free? Does a 38 year old woman need coverage for prostate exams?
Probably not, but others in his and her group likely do, and that is how insurance is packaged.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has a prostate, I think.Does a 55 year old man need maternity coverage and the Pill for free? Does a 38 year old woman need coverage for prostate exams?
