Do as Obama tells you - if you can't afford (sm)


Posted: Mar 12, 2014

Obamacare, just cancel those I-phones and cable.  Wow - I finally agree with him about something.  I bet most English-speaking folks don't even know he said this.  LOL

Word already spreading on FB - he's showing his true - colors, though not in English this time.

Obama's true colors are BEAUTIFUL: Finally a president who true cares about PEOPLE.

I dare you to say that about BUSH without rolling on the floor laughing out loud.

Pure act of desperation on his part. - NPC

We shouldn't be surprised at what he pulls out of the hat next to get people to sign up for his signature law. HA! What a joke. I guess Pajama Boy, et al, didn't work.

what is desperate about that? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
He's appearing on Spanish-language TV to discuss ACA enrollment. Why is that desperate?

Ged rid of your iPhone and cable. - NPC

[ In Reply To ..]
That's desperate. Get rid of those and enroll in Obamacare. Do as I say and not as I do. Let Big Brother take care of you. No thank you!
suggesting ways to find room in your budget - is equal to Big Brother?

Sorry. I just don't get it.

Good question. - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]
I'm truly sorry that people cannot see through this charade of a president we have and the destruction he is doing to this country.
By that standard I guess my MTSO - employer is also big brother?
[ In Reply To ..]
Because by halving my salary they are also telling me give up my iphone and cable - only it's so they can get more profits, not so I can get healthcare.

We are all in pretty much the same boat whether we be lowly MTs or Walmart workers. Except Big Brother is not taking care of us, nor are our slavemaster employers.

I know if I lose my income for whatever reason or my husband does, it's a matter of weeks before we lose everything, and even with both of us working 2 jobs each, what used to be an easy mortgage payment is now becoming desperately hard to make.

Lucky for me, because I make so little, Obamacare would be pretty cheap if I were eligible. Unlucky for me, my MTSO still has the junk insurance they are allowed to grandfather which means I better not get sick because I certainly can't afford to go to the doctor anyway - not when the first $3000 deductible is paid out of pocket.
I agree with everything you say, - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
but the government should NOT be telling us what we can and cannot purchase with whatever money we have just to buy their product however successful or inferior. This is still the land of the free.
The govt does not have a product - the insurance companies do
[ In Reply To ..]
The govt just tells them they actually have to provide something for your premiums, that they can't simply take your money and not provide adequate coverage.
The government does not have a product, - that's true...
[ In Reply To ..]
but they do tell you that you have to buy the product and what that product must contain, whether you need it or not.
What the product must contain is good for - the consumer, not bad
[ In Reply To ..]
And you DO need it, because those who don't have it we all have to pay for in the end.

I fail to see how the provisions of the ACA are anything but fair. The only ones who should be taking issue with these provisions are insurance companies and then only because it cuts into their profits, if they are being honest, for no other reason.
I certainly don't need an abortion coverage, maternity benefits, etc. - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]
I don't need birth control pills or any other Rx pertaining to birth control. Yet I'd be forced to have those benefits? Answer me why?

I certainly don't want to pay for Viagra, either. I don't, and never will, be using it unless i get a sex change. LOL.
You were paying for them in previous insurance - policies as well
[ In Reply To ..]
We all have been paying for all this stuff all along. Were you lucky enough to get an a la carte menu with your insurance policy? I never was. Birth control is not a huge cost and many are prescribed the pill for reasons other than contraception. In that instance, if not actual contraception, I'm sure we have been subsidizing it.

This is a talking point that is completely incorrect, as if we could pick and choose what we want coverage for and not to pay for others. What if we picked diabetes and instead got cancer?

What about younger people who do want birth control yet they don't need hypertension meds or heart pills? Why should they subsidize those meds?

Insurance doesn't work that way. It's better to spread the risk. I don't mind subsidizing birth control and Viagra even though I don't need it either. One day I will need some drug too that will be subsidized by others who don't need it.
Very true. What a smart post. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
Similarly, we pay for the underinsured when it comes to car insurance. We pay state/town tax to educate children we never had. It's part of being a member of society.
Never in my whole life - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
have I ever heard of anyone being allowed to turn to their insurer and say: I won't be needing this service, so please, reduce my premium. (!) It's just not the way it works.
Car insurance is a la carte. - SM
[ In Reply To ..]
Obamacare as it stands right now is bad on many, many levels. Maybe making some of it a la carte would be the beginning of making improvements. IMO, however, the first step is ensuring security of information.

I already don't have cable. in fact, refuse to have it. I do have internet so I can do my job. Also I don't have an Iphone, can't afford that either. I don't make 30 thous a year, only 16. So what else can I cut out? Food? Rent? Oh I also don't have a car either.

Great idea - lets all go on welfare!!!!! - Nora

[ In Reply To ..]
We keep throwing out Medicaid as the answer to everyone's problems - it's welfare folks - it's being on the government dole - and yes, I agree that it is a good thing when we need it, but we can't all be on it - somebody has to keep working to pay for it.

yeah why pay for a phone when I can get an - Obama phone for free! sheesh. nm

[ In Reply To ..]
:P

You can't get an "obama phone" for 'free' - You have to be able to qualify

[ In Reply To ..]
Phones with limited minutes are made available to those who are at or below the poverty line which helps them when trying to find employment.

Not quote the same as a 'free obama phone' but don't let facts stand in ur way.

I suppose - NK

[ In Reply To ..]
I would just be whistling Dixie if I once again point out that the phone program for low-income people was started in 1984 by President Reagan, was tweeked by Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush, and has nothing to do with the Obama administration.

I think... - NPC

[ In Reply To ..]
People say Obamaphone and not Reagan-, Clinton- or Bushphone because the term was never coined until Obama. I may be wrong, but that's my take on it.
I don't know who coined it - NK
[ In Reply To ..]
but I do know that the majority of people now use it in a derogatory manner. Repeating the same myth over and over does not make it true.

Sorry,.. - ZvilleMT

[ In Reply To ..]
But there isn't one person in the government that has any standing to tell me how to budget my money.
