Atbone95 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I know such a thing doesn't exist, but could I get an objective report of what is so bad about the AHCA? Like, does anyone know of a website that breaks down: Benefits of ObamaCare, Shortfalls of ObamaCare (some posters on here will tell me there weren't any ), Benefits of the AHCA, and Shortfalls of the AHCA? Before you jump on me, I honestly haven't been paying attention to what's going on, so I'm just looking to understand before I form my opinion. Link to comment

See Post #793 Shortfalls of ObamaCare (some posters on here will tell me there weren't any ) Not one person on this site would tell you that. It needs major overhauls, and if you read any of the healthcare threads, you'd know where people stand on this. I know it's a drag reading all of this stuff, but this is going to impact you or someone you love, and you should know about it. Link to comment

I had two family members diagnosed with two different cancers in the last two weeks, so I've been busy with a lot of that. Figure it's about time I start figuring out what all of this means.

Knapplc's link above and the Congressional Budget Office Analysis is a great place to start. Educate yourself, because this is a damn shame. 2 Link to comment

I know we don't agree on political stuff, but from the bottom of my heart, I hope everything is OK with your family. It is a big fight. Good luck to you all. Here's a really brief side-by-side breakdown of the two bills. Neither is good, but Obamacare is definitely better for more Americans. Despite that, if it is going to survive as a law it needs to majorly be reworked. 2 Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I also saw a Tweet that said R's were chanting the na na na stuff after the vote as in good bye to "Obamacare" Difficult to say which is correct Link to comment

I like that breakdown, that is helpful. Thumbs up 1 Link to comment

Nebfanatic Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 All this drama and still neither party has addressed the actual cost of healthcare. Pathetic. Well of course not, doing that wouldn't benefit these people personally, it would do the opposite. Lower cost is bad for business (apparently, truthfully I think getting medical cost down to a real and non inflated level and actually trying to help the costumer could help them in the long run, but what do I know) Link to comment
