Truth? Half-Truth? Untruth? You never know with this bunch.

I'll bet the deductible is through the roof and the out of pocket expenses is about equal the old "Catastrophic" plans that still left the insured broke & bankrupt......

so far 80+% of those enrolled have been eligible for "free" medicaid..

if you consider a few facts.. it may be true..

many insured get their insurance through employment..

since the actual employment rate is plummeting.. one could assume that more then half the uninsured are unemployed or near poverty levels..


those individuals would get free medicaid..
Only one in five unemployed workers with incomes below 200
percent of poverty (20.8 percent) has private insurance

Nationally, more than half of unemployed workers with annual incomes below 200 percent of poverty (54.0 percent) are uninsured

In virtually every state in the nation, more than half of unemployed workers with family incomes below 200 percent of poverty are uninsured

Despite their modest incomes, only one in four unemployed workers
who earn less than 200 percent of poverty (25.2 percent) receives
health coverage through Medicaid or other public programs

now the other three in four will be eligible for medicaid.. is free less the $50?

These kids will just go without and spend their cash on something else. Why wouldn't they...they are "invincible", like OT claims.

And the millions that are losing their insurance will come to realize that they too can go without. Pay the fine and enroll, when they get a "pre-existing" condition. The only ones that are going to enroll are the old and sick. Raising the costs for everyone.
