What Did Your Vote Mean

[demopublican]

the ACA....I am lucky enough to have the same health insurance as your elected officials AKA "The Gold Standard"...it's fairly simple, I can't vote for people who will look you in the eye and say "I got mine", but you are on your own...our health care system is broke...profits before people...doesn't work....

The problem with that is ObamaCare just made health insurance better, mandatory, but more expensive.

Nothing was done to bring healthcare costs down for the vast majority of Americans.

And nothing was proposed to accomplish that.

I voted based on I was sick of two parties fighting like 2 year olds and decided I was not going to give either my vote for President or Senate. In my House race I knew I would not vote for Andy Harris and could not in good concious vote for Wendy Rosen. I was going to vote for myself but then decided I would vote Libertarian!

I think we should have gone to a Swiss or Dutch style Healthcare model. No Insurance except for Cancer etc. Since employers don't feel they need to provide it....they pay better and you shop. If you need an X-ray doctors list their prices and you find the best deal.

I voted fo the status quo. Divided government.

you need to do a little research about the limits placed on insurance companies...the law requires the companies to spend a % of premiums on care...it also does away with lifetime caps...just for starters...

the ACA is using the same large pool theory that congress appointed for itself..that why states are supposed to stand up exchanges....the biggest reason for the high cost of premiums is we all pay for the uninsured..it's factored into to every dr visit, test, medicine, bandage, shot...have you ever looked at an itemized bill from a hospital stay?

my premiums since the law as passed have risen 1.80 a month as compared to 60.00 the previous two years....

having lived in two countries with "single payer" systems, we are woefully behind other industrialized nations when it comes to health care...
