This question is directed at people who live in one of these states: Alabama Florida Georgia Idaho Kansas Maine Mississippi Missouri Nebraska North Carolina Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming There seems to be a lot of overlap between a strong dislike of the ACA and living in a state that did not accept an expansion in Medicaid. Expanding funding for Medicaid would give relief to people who fall in the gap where you're too poor to buy your own healthcare coverage, but make too much money to qualify for Medicaid. Now, I think it's quite understandable to feel screwed over by the ACA if you are in one of these states, because not only are there new federal requirements for health insurance, which makes it cost more, but there's no option for any relief on your part because your state denied Medicaid expansion. However, this is not a fault of the ACA - this is the fault of your state. Your state was given the option to give relief to its poorer residents with regards to healthcare insurance, but they said no. The people you should really be mad at are the ones who made that decision, not the ACA.

  • My health insurance premium just went up. My deductable, also just went up. The % my insurer will actually pay, after the deductable is finally met, went down. This is after being told by several people the story that "costs are gonna go up again.." is just right wing fear mongering.
