Re: Affordable Care Act
Hi Everyone,
As a former Civilian Employee I don't qualify for the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. But I'd like to say that I agree with Becky, we need to leave politics outside of this organization and stick to what matters most to all of us, just by talking about premiums and health plans and how everyone is affected by these changes, we're learning and getting an education on the new healthcare ystem. I have a daughter who's 27 y/o and has no medical insurance at the present time- - we're still waiting on a response from Health Net. I checked some of their plans and they don't look good for her-- each one of them has a deductible of $6,500.! It's a lot of money considering she's a young, healthy woman with no pre-existing medical conditions. I believe this new healthcare thing is for people with more money to pay for those who can't afford health insurance, that's what socialized medicine is all about.
I find it very difficult for people who don't wish to sign up for the Obamacare to be forced to do so. Regardless, I find this thread educational and personally I'm learning from other people's experiences .
So in short, let's keep this thread alive.
Thank you for your time.
Adriana
