Why isn’t he on SDI and Medicare?
Does he meet the eligibility requirement to apply for Medicaid and/ or social security disability? If he hasn’t applied it would be definitely worth it albeit the process is frustrating and time consuming.
Boy I sure hope so! Donald has been all over this.This is a big deal.Hit people where it hurts,their pocketbooks,lie to them in the process…not good. He needs to keep playing the tape of Obama promising you can keep your doctor,keep your plan,families will save on average2500K per year…then mention how HC will finish what Obama has started!
If someone is disabled, not on SSDI, SSI, Medicare, or Medicaid and is unemployed and relies on an individual insurance policy, they probably wouldn’t have been able to get insurance before Obamacare because of pre-existing conditions.
Since the new plans start January 1st, the rates have to be released now so people can start shopping for plans. If they release them later, people won’t have time to make a decision.
Obamacare obviously needs to be improved. But Republicans offer only one solution which is total repeal and that would take us back to where we were before with millions of people being without any insurance at all and insurance companies denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.
VA healthcare for all!Single payer here we come…
Or how about Medicare for all? What’s wrong with Medicare which is single payer system for people over 65 which has been quite successful and is generally fairly popular. Why not just expand Medicare to everyone of all ages?
True or at least a public option in the meantime.
Are you aware that Medicare is fiscally insolvent already? It costs ten times as much as the politicians told us it would when it was passed. Do you really think we can pay for 18% of the GDP with a 2.9% tax on earned income with a 3.8% on higher incomes(above $200k for singles and $259k for married couples)?
