This is why they are afraid...

Easy signing up also...

BTW we are in Oregon and I'd wager its a matter of wanting it to succeed Vs. Republican Governors who refuse to help the people they should be serving.


Edit to add-this was her private employers exchange.

1. which insurance company?

[BluegrassStateBlues]

2. These are the honest ACA stories I like to hear.

[woo me with science]

3. Now we need REAL cost controls. We need Medicare for all.

Subsidies help individuals, but they do not fix the core problem of outrageous profit mongering, and that is by design, since insurance executives helped design the ACA. Just because an individual gets a subsidy does not mean that the insurance corporations are not still looting us blind. The middleman insurance corporations still get to suck obscene profits from American suffering, and we pay for the subsidies through our tax dollars.

We desperately need Medicare for all.

4. Did she sign up on the Oregon exchange site?

I just checked and it still says enrollment coming soon.

5. OR exchanges aren't working yet

Was this through her employer insurance?

6. It's her employers plan...Aetna bailed on Oregon

And I'm not sure what the new company name is but it was a comparable plan.


Aetna sucked frothy big uns...paid very little if at all. It was basically a card to get in the door. This one has to abide by current standards set by the ACA so just there its a better plan.

I thought it was the state program when I posted also-my error.

7. I'm so happy for you!

That's a big savings. Plus free preventative care!
