Obama-care will be loved like iphones.....just got to work out the "glitches"

[Operator 1,927]

Here's what gets me. I've had the same iPhone for 5 years, hardly use it, have been very satisfied with it. My carrier sends me a letter stating that my monthly bill has to be increased 115% so I can have a phone that complies with the new government phone requirements.

So who is responsible for this change? Me? My carrier?

Consider getting another provider. Chances are they are using the government as an excuse to hike their rates and fleece you.

My problem is that Verizon is the only one with a decent signal where I live.

So what do I do.

You do what makes sense to you in your particular situation.

I am thinking of Republic Wireless, but they do not have IPhones.

Judging by the name they probably offer rotary phones...

Nope, the new Motorola at a good price.

Hence my concern.

I find it odd all the libs have been complaining about evil big insurance for many years, but just gave them the keys to the country club.

Make no mistake..Obama care is about big insurance and insurance lobbyist

Yet oddly they have the base convinced this is going to help them

You have to give it to the dems/...Slick

I find it odd nobody ever mentioned doing away with auto insurance, also sold by big evil insurance companies, as you say. In addition, as someone pointed out, the individual mandate, which is at the center of the debate, is a republican idea.

Thats one part I kinda of like

Long story but we had a couple. Had insurance available, both made good money..Chose not to take it.

He had heart attack and she had emergency female something or another,

100K bills

Hospital wrote them all off

BS-He should have been made to move in a trailer, sell his 190K home and Beamer

I love that expression: the hospital 'wrote them all off'. We are all paying for their treatments with our increased premiums.

Why should them not be asked and made to pay when it was their choice not to get coverage?

And of course i understand writing off the bill does not make the cost vanish

INMHO they should have lived a life of poverty until it was all paid

Amen I am not against massive health care reform. It's too freaked to ever get right.

I surrender

Let's just do nationalized healthcare and get it over with

The system is burning and Obama care just thru gas on it
