Not self-awareness, apparently.Okay, I'll play.
Republicans.
What did I win?
So honest question since it's been 8 years since Obama was president.. despite all your hate for him.. do you think ACA or "Obamacare" as it's called.. was it good for you or bad for you and your family?
Obama Care (ACA) did not effect me and my family at all as far as I know.
Do you live in some kind of alternate universe where the Democrats did not regularly expend giant amounts of political capital to advance their policies (healthcare, climate, infrastructure, etc)?
Oh you're gonna hear a lot about "block grants" very soon.
Well that’s just the Dems fault cuz they’re so mean 🙃Let's just remember the ACA was basically a GOP idea the Democrats co-opted and then the Republicans acted like it was the second coming of 1917 and lost their shit.
First I don't hate Obama. I don't like his politics, but I don't hate him.

To what end.
Healthcare in the US is too expensive and not getting better.
The climate is still doing its thing as It always has.
The infrastucture is still crumbling.
Do any of you have pre-existing conditions?
Yet....No preexisting issues except being old...

Well I do have arthritis and had both knees replaced, Cataracts and had them replaced. Knees were covered 100% and the cataracts cost me about 2,500 per eye as I had my vision also corrected as an added cost.
Funny you mention that, health care costs in the US have actually plateaued since the ACA was enacted.To what end.

Ahh I thought you had personal run ins with and had to flee from the "Obamacare death panels"

The law succeeded at exactly what it was trying to do but because it was so successful nobody talks about it anymore.
It can't be "Pre-Existing" If I don't already have it.
Duh.
My German wife has quite a few gripes about the quality of UK construction, but at least we can't put a fist through a wallCan't say - I would imagine it's hugely variable depending on region and income-bracket.
I just have a personal gripe about the crap quality of much UK infrastructure, the poor quality of home insulation and plumbing being two of the main gripes.
So many things it seems as if our ancestors failed to engage in any forward-planning and went for the cheapest short-term option.
You just explained how you have pre existing conditions….
What the Medicaid Block Grant Announcement Could Mean for People with Chronic Conditions - National Health Council
What the Medicaid Block Grant Announcement Could Mean for People with Chronic Conditions By Eric Gascho, Vice President, Policy & Government Affairs The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) […]nationalhealthcouncil.org
That is Medicaid Block Grants. I don't receive Medicaid. I get the Medicare Plans A and B I paid for for 50 years working and Tricare for Life under my Military retirement contract.
Okay.
Having them hasn't effected my medical coverage or cost in any way.
The term Pre-Existing has to be in relation to something like an event.
Pre-Existing with respect to what?
The reason this got put in was because guess what insurance companies would say if you had to switch carriers for any reason.
Because pcgeek11 hasn't been personally impacted by the pre-existing conditions features, it's not needed for anyone else.I switched between my employer medical plan to Medicare / Tricare for Life with no issues. One Knee was covered by my Employer and the other by Medicare. I never paid a dime for either.
