Thank you man was about to argue something against obamacare but needed info. Stefan Molyneux is amazing saw him live a few weels ago

[@onlyadot]

that's what the intention of the plan is, what is REALLY happening is that the coverage is very low quality (40 percent co-pays and $10,000 Deductibles) and the premiums are insanely expensive (upwards of 200 dollars a month for a healthy 21 year old) While people who already have coverage are having their plans discontinued and replaced with poor coverage at a high cost. This makes it very unattractive for me to purchase health insurance since I've never been covered, but since I can afford it the government will not front ANY of the bill. I can opt out entirely for 250 dollars a year, which is literally 10 times cheaper than purchasing this horrible, expensive, low-quality insurance. That is my understanding of the ACA as of Jan 2014

[@somerpg]

How can ObamaCare be good if it is hurting so many people? Making 30k a year with a family of 4, and paying 5k a year in insurance is crazy. I can feed a family of 4 with 5k for a whole year. So it's eat, or pay up. Either way we lose. I guess the bottom line is they want the poor dead. Such a sad world.

[@MakeWay4CJ]

The only reason why you would mention losing your health care insurance is if you felt that the ACA (affordable care act) is to blame for that loss; however, anyone who understands how the ACA works knows that ACA doesn’t require that you drop your healthcare insurance if you‘re already insured! So chances are that IF this situation really happened and your insurance coverage really was dropped, then there was another reason for its termination (A decision made by your employer, the healthcare insurance company themselves, etc.). But instead of researching that or acknowledgingvthe real reason, you’ve decided to purposely redirect the blame to the ACA (or as the Republicans like to call it “Obama care“) - probably to support your political views. In other words, you tried “it” but most of us are not stupid enough to fall for it.

[@oscardelta1257]

Obamacare explained simply...Let me tell ya about Obamacare from someone who is being victimized by it. I was forced to buy insurance on the federal exchange. My monthly premium is $400 and my deductible is $5,500 a year. Its doesn't pay for anything until I reach the deductible! I cannot afford to see my doctor because of the monthly premium. According to the government I can afford insurance so I'm not getting a subsidy. Now the kicker, part of my monthly premium is subsidizing someone else's insurance so they can afford to see their doctor and I'm left out in the cold. Thats not only wrong, its immoral! My only choice as of right now is to cancel my insurance plan so I can afford to see my doctor, a doctor's visit costs $110. I can see my doctor almost 4 times for the cost of ONE monthly premium payment...There is your Obamacare and I'm not the only one in this situation either. Its time for it to be repealed!!!

[@rx7here]

seems like you don't understand what an insurance is. If you have insurance the insurance will cover the cost when you visit a doctor.

[@oscardelta1257]

rx7here Mine doesn't until I reach the $5,500 deductible...I know this because I've had Obamacare since Jan of this year. I've been paying the doctors visit out of my pocket even though I have insurance...It sucks!

[@MisatoK29]

rx7here Seems like it's YOU who doesn't understand insurance. Or Obamacare. Oscar Delta is right about that. Your insurance doesn't cover your doctors visits until you meet a deductible, and ever since Obamacare, those have gotten way out of reach for most people.

[@rx7here]

Misato Katsuragi sure i am always open to learn. Why is obamacare the cause for increase of the deductibles? It goes without saying that one should keep those conditions in mind when choosing the insurance plan.

[@MisatoK29]

rx7here Forgetting all the trouble with the healtcare.gov website, and that you have to give out all your information and still might not get coverage, I have look at the obamacare plans on that website. the gold, silver, all of them. The deductibles for all the ones I seen that would give me the coverage that was even close to what I had before, would have been at least $7,000 for the cheapest of those plans that I seen. Before my insurance got cancelled, which Obama lied about saying you could keep your insurance if you liked it, and don't tell me he didn't know this would cause a lot of insurance policy cancellations, my deductible was $2,500. Now to get the same coverage, I would have to pay almost three times that before insurance starts covering anything. The whole Affordable Healthcare Act is an oxy-moron! Deductibles are higher, premiums are higher, coverage is less, employers would rather fire you or cut your hours to part time instead of paying the individual mandates. What the hell has been AFFORDABLE about the Affordable Healthcare Act? That's the question Obamacare supporters can never seem to answer me. If you can tell me, you'll be the first.

[@runito75]

Hey! Forget insurrance! Why not strong public healthcare paied through the tax? No wasted money to proffiters but rather more rights to everybody. Healthcare should be a public responisibility, not private! ;)

[@LameGeneration91]

Rune L I totally agree. I was just being sarcastic

[@SmokenJs]

The problem from both ends. health insurance in Canada and most of Europe you have long waits, governments are terrible at taking care of any thing in a timely manner. Here in the US the insurance company will pay any thing the hospital will ask, because they get a cut, and we the people pay high premiums. Example a bag of saline cost about 7-8 bucks hospital will charge 100+ and the insurance is like ok then. why? The insurance comp makes a % of the total, they cant work for free. The % of 10 for a bag of saline or 100 is a lot. I have seen setups where the insurance comp and hospital are the same and premiums are much lower, not always. Other setups where the insurance comp actually asks hospitals for bids and will send you to the cheapest place, can be good and bad. A lot of unhappy people and very rich insurance comp's and hospitals in the US, we do have great care, if you can afford it.

[@f2004w]

So explain why should I buy healthcare when I get LESS coverage (higher deductibles and higher coinsurance)? Yes I can get health insurance for as low as $89 a month but the deductibles are around $6,000!!! That's more than 25% of my yearly gross income. Keep in mind that I have to pay THAT first, BEFORE Obamacare kicks in. Ok let's say I sold my car and manage to pay the deductible. There is 20-40% coinsurance. Which means that after I spent $6,000, I'll have to pay 20-40% of what left of the bill. So say I was with my friend and we got ourselves in a severe car wreck and I was severely injured. *1 weeks of intensive care *2-4 weeks of recovery *4-6 months of physical therapy That's alone cost $200,000 to $500,000 in hospital bills - and I have to pay at least 20% of that. That's more than 2 years of of my income!

But if you get sick and are sick and your are properly enrolled in the " ziekenkas " you will be properly taken care off in a hospital or a doctors office. Only 10% of our population is not insured. And even then, if you aren"t, in a hospital, with your gut hanging out of your belly, they will help you. If you can't pay, the social system will.

It would be ideal if that budget was taken from the military because they're obviously overspending on that side.

[@makaalbarn6899]

It would be nice if a short video about the Affordable Care Act listed BOTH Pros, AND Cons. Almost every video is either: "Everything is good; Look at these benefits!", or, "This is a horrible bill: Stop it immediately!". Consider both sides of the argument, and then I'll consider agreeing. Even Fifth grade teachers tell you that a valid persuasive argument should consider both sides, and justify why their decision is correct.

[@kmaybe123]

$90/mo. is a lot less than the payment you would be expected to make if you get sick or hurt and need emergency care or surgery. That bill could be $50k or more. At $90/mo you'll pay that off in 10 yrs or so and you still won't have health insurance or be able to afford care when you need it. You deserve affordable health care and at a fair cost.

In the UK, the NHS has its flaws and maybe that's the understatement of the century, but at least we don't have to worry about being able to afford healthcare. Some of us are lucky to have private healthcare, usually through employment. This however only really serves to jump queues. I don't believe an operation done on the NHS or privately is any different and it usually involvs the same specialist, as most surgeons and consultants wortk in both state and private sectors. I feel sorry for Americans who have to contend with their seemingly complex healthcare solutions, in order to manage health conditions, or even simply have children (corerct me if I'm wrong) I don't think state healthcare is about socialism, but I think having it is a positive reflection of one's society.

[@SamuelMcCloud]

Why do i have a feeling the US is the last place to get free health care?

[@hcortez1990]

Well well well, this aged pretty well

[@bobsanders2145]

Good health makes everyone’s life better. Why would anyone went sick people walking around? That literally just increases your chances of getting sick.

[@benbog2]

can you say "Wag the Dog"

[@jeffwitkowski555]

affordable my ass. when I finally got through to the exchange website. I filled out a quote and what i found astonished me.. $12,000 deductible. yeah that's right. There is no way in hell that within a year i would rack up over $12k a year on health care. So with that said how would I ever be covered by the insurance? FAIL!!!

[@DinethCat]

Republicans should Reform obamacare/ the ACA. Not repeal it completely.

[@vickieoglesby3257]

Marshmallow920 they dont want to reform it..they want people to die.

[@TheBackwoodLink]

Thank the people that used to have insurance for your new plan. It seems that working hard for company benefits is trumped by sitting around mommy's house playing video games and riding your parents' coattails until you're a 26 year old adult. While you're at the government healthcare site please ask for the secondary childhood package for amazing new coverage on ingrates, moochers and slackers.

[@trashpanda0627]

i still dont get it :( nice video though

[@urbanhawk2886]

Now it has been explained and reading the comments I can understand why Americans hated Obamacare. Sorry guys I thought it was free healthcare service and didn't understand why people were complaining about it. Can see why now. Honestly I don't understand why America just doesn't have free healthcare or at least universal health care. Even poor countries do have at least one off these and to me healthcare should never come with a price. It is the government's obligation to make sure it's citizens have these services. You don't pay for education so why healthcare.

[@MightGuy15]

she forgot the part where if you don't have health coverage you have to pay 550 dollars out of tax returns.

thesupergreenjudy are u mad 5 jobs xD only 1 job m8

[@Dc-kk9bd]

Simply explained... The doctor visit cost $20 before Obama care. Now it cost $150. That's all u need to know

[@whitecloud_94]

Thank God I live in Canada. The only thing we have to pay for is the ambulance ride to the ER 😄 So we just run red lights and get there in our own vehicles.

[@mjwmontgomery]

nothing is free!!!

[@antangie216]

This is a good video and it is simply explained as promised. I think many remain opposed or confused about this Act because they truly don't understand it or "refuse" to understand its intent and purpose. Folks generally fear what they don't understand... perhaps that's part of the reason for the chaos surrounding Obamacare.

[@shelleysmith825]

Who didn't understand? Freaking disaster, good job of "understanding"!!!!

[@laurocoman]

The old comments in this video hadn't aged well

[@voges333]

Absolutely the greatest video on the topic. Perfect demonstration of "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is." Listen, especially, to the 20 second mark. Anyone who supports this plan, is either intellectually disinterested, intellectually lazy, or intellectually deficient.

[@screamingtrees9619]

how you living knowing it didn't repeal yesterday?.......

[@HisLostSheep]

Okay, so why the hell am I forced to pay for health insurance? I don't have a car... so I don't pay for car insurance. And I'm thinking about quitting my job so I can suck on the tits of the America Working class and retire on food stamps, welfare housing, and more... So I wouldn't have to pay for income tax... but I am still forced to pay for health insurance that I don't need or want because I eat healthy and if i get injured I have a savings that will cover most medical costs... should I just give up on eating healthy and go back to those irresistible twinkies and cheddar popcorn? And why the hell are they coming out with this stupid mandate when half the people in this country are living in poverty... I would not be surprised if 25% of Americans were unemployed... including the ~8% that is getting unemployment checks.

[@mm-zd9ml]

Wonder why have so many dislikes?

[@shanicesmith2008]

I totally like Obama and so on but this is crappy should not force people to do this I am jobless just starting school this is ought my reach kmt cant believe the foolishness...

[@FrankPTool]

ME too Shanice. I went through a period of unemployment last year. I applied putting in my income as $0.00 and the lowest premium with $0.00 income was $330.00 a month.

[@lulassong6524]

How many have no medical coverage? Statistics please!

[@modelspoorbaan]

In Holland it's illegal to not have health Insurance. Price is just over 100 euro a month, yearly own risk is euro 370,-. I hope the Americans will build the collective because I heard terrible stories of people being uninsured and in need of costy treatment.

[@adiintel1]

+modelspoorbaan my nieghbour lost his house had to pay all the premiums when he got cancer and his wife had mulitiple strokes.

[@makaalbarn6899]

You think that only promoting the good things about this will make your opinion stronger, but it just weakens it, because you have nothing to compare the pros to, so you can justify why I SHOULD agree with you. I'm not saying that I like Obamacare, I'm not saying that I'm against it. All I'm saying, is that when you say you're "explaining" something, present all facts, otherwise, you're basically lying to people so they agree with you.

[@literallyawesome9988]

And then what happens when you dont pay? The system fines you thousands of dollars. End this propaganda shit.

[@KillerKlowns112]

Its not thousands of dollars...although there is a fine, i think its below 1000 though.

[@phoenix499]

It's not a fine its a tax. Which caught douche nozzle in another lie when he said no new taxes will come from this law.

[@jeanbaptiste8628]

Before ObamaCare, American medical care was free. Insurance, just waived you from malpractice or police involvement, if you sought a non-payer, a foreign service of insurance care for your spouse or family, with services such as AA, Jewish Voice Ministries, the Mustard Seed, or Doctors Without Borders, also the Red Cross or Red Crescent. Thank you, for giving me free insurance, Barack Obama. I wanted the cops out of my family, so I could live in the example of Jesus Christ. In Boston, we call that riding the 'T'. The MBTA, our first municipal service, insured under the Canadian model, for health and transport, our subway system.

[@jackd5089]

End up like us irish and other Europeans, overcrowding in hospitals, lack of instinve for people to become doctors and nurses and massive national dept. What a plan. Why don't we Open it up to the free market to drive down prices and drive up quality

[@davec3487]

Let's see, better coverage, covering more people, and it will actually cost you less! Straight out of the book of Joseph Goebbels.

[@vickieoglesby3257]
