don't get me wrong i'm all for the ideas behind obamacare but the implementation is trash. can't use the "republicans ruined it" argument either, i live in the state with the "best" and "purest" obamacare entirely untouched by any republican.

92% of employers background check in my area and the other 8% only hire illegals or friends/family. I've been dealing with a situation where I'm accused of having a criminal background by some major background check companies due to an expunged, not-guilty case, and they all buy data off each other. i've been suing background check companies and employers for 5 years now and living off that. last year i was fired from 5+ >100k tech jobs for this reason, it's not like i'm not trying.

If you want market healthcare then you just have to live with the fact that this is what happens to people who fail economically and then try to get healthcare.

Sounds like maybe socialized medicine would be a good thing for you, wouldn't it? Maybe some single payer?

I can't fathom why someone like you would vote for Trump knowing full well you rely on something his party aims to take away. You think it's bad not being able to see a gastroenterologist, just wait until seeing a physician isn't even covered.

i would rather pay for better, private healthcare and trump's plan will bring the cost down significantly. socialized medicine works great for me but there's more to things than "which party personally panders to me the most"

How is that exactly? You are apparently on an expanded medicaid which disappears entirely under Trumps plan. Which means instead of $0 copays you're on the hook for everything.

It also does nothing to bring down costs. Tax credits? You're apparently unemployed or living off of lawsuit settlements. Do you even file taxes? It does not help you.

For people who are capable of empathy, it's not just measuring what panders to you, rather to everyone in your situation. Got a criminal record and can't get a job? Apparently you don't like it when those people are left to rot.

So many Trump voters on Medicaid...

And at this point if you think Trump's plan is going to bring down costs, you are just retarded.

Fixed. Please continue

ideally we get the country into some kind of limbo, pass nothing, but change everything just enough for insurance to swoop in and save the day, while making record proffits.

I mean ideally for anyone but everyone that this will happen to over the next few years.
