================================
RW> I like your intro...even though I knew that you work at a hospital in
RW> Maryland.

:)

RW> I can only assume that the reason for this is high unemployment for the
RW> young people in the country or they're students still living at home and
RW> going to school. Twenty two is an average age where most college students
RW> graduate, but they could also be attending schools of medicine or law,
RW> which requires more schooling.

It really should have been labeled "Making Healthcare Unaffordable Act".  These
young people somehow have no clue that they could have bought their own
coverage themselves before the "exchanges" at a lower price with better
coverage.  And without the risk of the government "taxing" you if you don't buy
the plan.  

Nothing was reinvented, besides doing away with the pre-existing condition.
That is the ONLY thing I agree with.  
RW> Wow...if you smoke a pack a day and have to pay the additional premiums,
RW> it might just pay to quit smoking, which is the bottom line for insurance
RW> companies. Supposedly they think that you're going to be healthier than a
RW> smoker. As for the 'wellness' plan, how much time do they think you have
RW> in a 24 hour day. You get up, rush to work, then rush home and flop in
RW> your easy chair and take a nap.

Another problem with Obamacare is the allowing of "wellness fees", where you
can get additional "fees" if you smoke, are overweight, don't have blue eyes,
or whatever else they deem to cost more to cover.  

Before you know it, you will have to be chipped so they can watch what you eat.
 Reminds me of the chip they can put in cars to get a discount on your car
insurance - based on your driving.

RW> That really sucks, sucks like having the jerk mayor of NYC telling you
RW> that you can't have a 32oz soda, but you can buy 2, 16oz sodas.

Not sure how that guy functions on a day to day basis..

RW> LOL! By the time you reach the limit of your deductable, that means you
RW> might live...

Many of the people will not have a clue about what a deducible is, not will
they care.  It will go to collections and be written off, just as it is today.
The working tax payors will continue to foot the bill for the non-payors.
