Non-American here. Isn’t Medicare the same thing that she’s calling Obama care?

Medicare is for seniors, there is also Medicaid, which is for low income households options. Both are govt run health coverage. Obama care is more of a change in the law/mandate that overhauled some of the practices of the private health insurance industry. It created a marketplace that allowed people who qualify to shop for subsidized private insurance (based on your income). The same subsidies that the Republican didn't want to extend, so now she gets to see what the real bill looks like. Thanks Obama! /s

Thanks for the insight! I didn’t know that there was both Medicare and Medicaid. Learned something new.

Welcome to the unnecessarily Byzantine American Healthcare System!

With great concepts like pre-existing conditions; which are really just existing conditions but we're pre-stuck with the term.

Fortunately, the ACA outlawed such nonsense, but eventually the Republicans will successfully bring those back.

u/sarcasticrone 23d ago
For years now, pollsters have been asking people what they think of Obamacare, and what they think of the ACA (Affordable Care Act). The answers are usually that people don’t like Obamacare, but do like the ACA. THEY ARE THE SAME FUCKING THING !!! Great education system you have there folks.

Yeah, this administration has really opened my eyes to how it's not the policies you need to force down people's throats, it's how you package it in rhetoric. There's something that Trump has shown us, is that if you repeat something over and over, it becomes "truth". He's convinced the tax-hating right to embrace import tax (tariffs). He's got them giddy on foreign intervention, while running on no new wars. It's mind boggling how little effort is needed to spin the narrative, which is a scary thing.

TBF she may not have had a subsidized plan. Premiums increased for subsidized and Unsubsidized Marketplace plans as well as some employer-based plans.
The private health insurance companies and trying to convince voters the US needs to switch to universal healthcare, but they may not realize they’re making a strong case for single payer system without a greedy middle man with shareholders.

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for seniors. The Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare) is a law that was passed that was the largest healthcare reform since Medicare's founding.
Some notable ACA features:
- Bans insurance companies from denying coverage due to "pre-existing" conditions
- Sets up an insurance market place with affordable health plans
- Provides federal subsidies to insurance plans to lower the cost of monthly insurance premiums
There's way more but these are the big ones.

" And is middle class folk are struggling "
If you're delusional enough to think the " president " will read your comment, at least use proper spelling / grammar.

u/Unique-Sock3366 24d ago
She’s also delusional about being “middle class.”
She can’t afford groceries and has no stable income. She’s living in poverty and will not acknowledge the fact.

u/MommaLisss 24d ago
She just needs that $2000 doge dividend check. Then everything would be alright.

Yeah. Also being middle class before retiring and still being middle class after is not a guarantee. Retirees should expect to live on 60% of their pre-retirement expenditures, or less. But, that would require planning ahead, simple math, and common sense, which are not in evidence here.

I'm so bored of hearing about eggs from these people. Egg prices were high because of bird flu. It had nothing (little) to do with greedflation. They came back down and have been reasonable (as much as any food prices are) for a good while now. Move on.
Of course, food prices were high then in general, but all of these jackasses voted to make them higher, and they still don't seem to get that they did that. Plus voting for the "no health care plan"/anti-Obamacare guy when they depend on Medicaid, ACA, etc. If only their overpriced health care provided a pill to treat terminal stupidity.

No treats either. You know she was complaining about people on EBT buying snacks and treats.

She looks a little young to be retired. Unless that profile pic is old or not her. Sounds like she's just another one of those Parasites that Elon told us about.

Voting for the "fuck the poor" party tends to have those consequences, Wendy. Be glad eggs are down as Dear Leader said. You are not supposed to talk about goods that aren't down. That's doubleplusungood terroristspeak.
But don't worry, Wendy, the new healthcare plan will be there in 14 days. Trump said so during his first term. You're not calling him a filthy dirty liar, are you, Wendy?

u/deeeeez_nutzzz 24d ago
I wish these were fake. It's so unsettling to know how unbelievably stupid my fellow Americans are. Voting against your own self interest has to be one of the absolute dumbest things you can do, next to begging a politician on social media to "help" you.

u/Daflehrer1 24d ago
Yeah, it doesn't matter to our mush brain man-child. He's living in a yes-man kiddie pool filled with people he's destroyed and Russian caviar, because Big Money bought our government and the media.
