Ah yes... the neverending hypocrisy of the Left...

[PhilFish]

Why..... YES!

Indeed

Ideas, wisdom, and leadership for starters.

The mess existed before, It just forced people to deal with it instead of burying their head in the sand and just wishing they never get sick.

It's being delt with by pushing the financial burden to others

In what way?

In what way?

Increased deductibles, decreased assignment/contracted rates, removal of assignment

 

[ObamacareForever]

Increased deductibles

You can always buy a lower deductible policy. Obamacare doesn't mandate a level for either deductibles or premiums.

, decreased assignment/contracted rates, removal of assignment

I am not familiar with the terminology you are using so its hard for me to address specifically.

His political success is definitely a product of social media.

According to you leftists he has no political successes...... So there's that and all.

Assignment/contracted rate = the agreed to amount that an insurance would pay for a service or treatment. The balance of which if not paid typically would then be written off. Now providers bill the patient for the balance.

She won the election because she understand that when the world isn't working its time to throw in the garbage and start over. Maintaining the status quo is not what her constituents want.

No doubt. First Trump, no Cortez. People are definitely voting the people that just spout off over the swamp.

How does that not equate to the personal responsibility you so worried about?
Hospitals writing off a balance means they jack up the price for everyone who pays to make up the difference. Now more of the burden is falling on the users of the service.

Trump was a multi-millionaire/billionaire before Tweeter or Farcebook were even dreamed of.

Trump did not need social media to become wealthy and famous nor did he use it.

Trump was a world wide phenomenon in the 80's for crissakes. To say he's a product if social media is ridiculous. Try a little harder to be honest.

Trump was given a huge amount of money to start a business before the old man died, and his dad also bailed him out how many times? And don't forget the bankruptcies he took...leaving others to pay his debts. When his father died he inherited hundreds of millions of dollars. Trump claims he has 11 Billion....I'd guess it's more like 3B which isn't that great considering all the money he had to work with and also the way he screwed others out of their pay to get what he has.
How much has he gotten from Saudis and Russia? We will probably never know because they're planning to keep the Mueller findings "secret" in order to help that fat POS win in 2020.

Frankly, I don't think anything they find would keep people like you from voting for him. His proven lies and disregard for anyone else certainly hasn't swayed the deplorables.

Disproportionately. ACA users pay a substantively lower rate. Balance billing negates that savings.

Not a complaint. An observation.

You're talking out of both of sides of your mouth.
"The financial burden falls on others" while also saying "People are being billed too much for the services they use".
Also high deductibles are a staple of Republican healthcare policy who want individuals to have more "skin in the game" which is largely an argument for personal responsibility.

Youre probably right.. she means well perhaps, but just doesn’t have a clue about much of anything...

Sadly, if the (much needed) term limits are imposed, the House and Senate could be filled with clueless people like this.

Very high deductibles leave people open to this type if billing

But don't you want people paying for their own medical care instead of the financial burden falling onto to others?
That is exactly "people paying for their own medical bills" looks like.

I know.

I felt the same way about Obobo too!
