I haven't planned a cycle because I have not done one. I haven't read more into the affordable healthcare act more because as of right now, it doesn't apply to members of collective bargaining agreements. (unions)
I am not pro or anti of obamacare. I am for healthcare reform though. I have never used medicaid so I cannot comment on it. Nor, have I used any government assistance and hopefully I will not have to. I have been fortunate enough where I have been able to make ends meet one way or another.
I just know that for every administration, there is always something where people can point fingers and pass judgement without knowing most of the facts. I am guilty of this also. Did it with Bush Jr, Clinton, Bush Sr. Nothing has changed, just the blame that's being directed to a different name.
Honestly, I think the parties like it that way. I think they like us arguing among ourselves and keeping busy being occupied by stuff that at the end of the day doesn't amount to anything .
I think all government is corrupt here, all sides. Agreed 100%
Do I think this so called Obamacare will affect my life, No. Not in the least. I think this is just the new "thing" presented to us for us to worry about. It will pass and then they will present us with another new thing to argue about. Disagree. I think it will affect you and a large majority of the working class.
At the end of the day, people without insurance and without money aren't going to pay a penny for medical. They will go to the emergency room for everything from a sore throat to arthritis. They always will. But, I think this will force the WalMarts of the country to offer healthcare to their employees instead of only giving them enough hours to not be full time.
Will this raise prices, probably. Then, I will continue going to my mom and pop grocer who isn't a huge chain and buy the stuff I always buy at the regular price there.
