Starting August 1 - 8 new health benefits for women due to ACA
 

Starting tomorrow, women have eight new health benefits due to Obamacare. Tell all the women you know and love:

We going to do anything for women abroad? You know the one's being killed out of honor? Clitoris removed? Or are we still with our collective heads in the sand?

I apologize in advance if you included these women in the new benefits for women but somehow I predict youand this Muslim loving administration left the most abused of the abused out!

Nothing happening over here master!

What do YOU do for your cause, Dell? Be specific. Your overseas work? Your charity? Do tell how we can help you.

Not with that wimp in the WH...we need Bush back, he'd show em..

seriously?! aren't you the one continuously complaining about money spent overseas? can you make up your mind? are we supposed to stick to ourselves, or not?

:tro::tro:

i mean really...i think anyone who decides to get into politics has got to be insane. no matter what you do, you're pissing off someone. and with some, whether you do one thing, or the other, there will be a segment of the population that will bitch no matter what you do..case in point: dell. if we do something for someone here, we should do it there. but why are we there, we should only be here. :zz:

"Today, the law builds on these benefits, requiring new, non-grandfathered private health plans"

The idea was right, the execution was so pro-insurance companies it was outlandish the way this was written.

one of the reasons why i don't like obamacare. they're trying to make a for-profit system work, while saying they're wanting to control costs. yeah, good luck with that. obamacare will end up a failure. altho the scotus ruled in favor of the forced purchase, or you get taxed-the tax/penalty isn't high enough to actually make people buy it. so, the exact group (young and healthy) that insurers wanted forced to buy to keep the entire system afloat, probably won't.
then, they said one way to keep costs down was to expand medicaid so as to prevent high priced er visits, etc. but the tool to force that expansion was removed. (by the way, a recent study showed non-insured were no more likely to go to er's for non emergencies than those with coverage, but that didn't get much play). so, states who don't wish to expand, probably won't-thus leaving the poorer without. and actually, obamacare didn't provide 100% coverage anyway. there would still be a sizable group that couldn't get coverage.
take into consideration that big pharma had a big say in obamacare...well, we know who ultimately put it all together. now, to sit back and watch what happens next.

ROR !! Just be prepared for this...

Attachment 2029

geeker, that paper above reminds me of the 'free' colonoscopies. they are free only as a screening. if one polyp is found and removed, it has now become treatment, not just diagnostic-thus, will be billed for a couple thou, not free.
patients have not been happy upon waking and being presented with a bill. now, it helps the patient because the polyp is now gone. but it sure helps the place conducting the test, doesn't it?

If the patient agreed to the procedure to have it removed and was informed of the charge, it's his bad...no...If he didn't agree, sue em...

Geeker, your paper has nothing at all to do with the ACA, it's a reflection of what your private insurance company did.

In fact, some of those limitations your insurance company dinked you for, listed, have been eliminated by the ACA. That's the point. ROR!

Hope I get at least a thank you for paying for strangers BC pills and abortions but then again I'm a big BC fan!

Where do I sign up to get BC vouchers

Dell it's all free don't cha know -:$:

Free? It is much better than that! It reduces the deficit, I swear, someone posted a pie chart confirming that!

So the sicker we get the better the economy SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's the thing, you're knocked out during the scope. they just do it while they're 'in there'. but people don't necessarily know ahead of time just what can change things between a freebie, and what makes it not a freebie. just like the note above. but seriously, who wouldn't want something removed if found? problem is, people don't like to find out free isn't free.
