I live in a blue state. Rural hospitals are going under.



Someone  fact-checked Jajski's claim.

A group that tracks rural hospital closings says that |ONLY ONE| rural hospital has closed in Illinois between Jan. 1, 2010 and March 19, 2019.

It makes the elitists mad when they see some of the political benefits flowing to the working class and not upward.

Did the ACA Give Unions Special Treatment?

Some complain that their employers have to comply with the ACA; but that Unions are given an "unfair" pass. Something didn't ring true about that claim, so I did some looking around.



I found this at Politifact:



"In ruling on this statement, we understand that the Obama administration
would hardly admit to it if it were giving unions special treatment.
But looking at the numbers of waivers that have been given to both union
and non-union groups, we don’t see any pattern that would support a
case for special treatment. The number of waivers are a small sample of
all health plans, and many more waivers were given to big companies and
corporations. We looked for additional information or evidence on this
point and didn’t find it."

Obama, the ACA, the House, and Courage

President Obama went to THEIR house; took THEIR questions for as long as they wanted to ask them. He had no script; no help; nothing but his knowledge, skill, intellect, and unwavering courage and competence.



And the GOPPERS vowed never again to allow TV cameras to record such an ass-whipping. He made utter fools of them.

Pre-Existing Conditions on the Chopping Block

Trump and the goppers DO want to do away with pre-existing conditions protections despite their claims to the contrary.



In a case "brought by Texas and several other states, Trump’s Justice
Department argued that the law’s protections for preexisting conditions
should be invalidated now that the individual mandate has been
repealed."



https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/27/17788494/voxcare-obamacare-lawsuit-republicans-preexisting-conditions


Yes, you read right. Trump and the goppers want to INVALIDATE the pre-existing conditions protections President Obama and the Democrats fought so hard to gain for Americans.



And the goppers KNOW this is a problem with the American people. Thus they lie about it by claiming they are ALL FOR maintaining those protections. It's simply not true.

No Prediction that ACA Would Cut Costs

Planoman: Not ONLY does your source NOT say costs will be cut, YOUR source says costs are EXPECTED TO GROW!

''Health care costs are expected to grow . . . .''

Damn, son. To support your claim that costs were predicted to be CUT, you show us an article that predicts costs will GROW!

The term ''Dumb-assery'' comes to mind. *S*

ACA Saves Money for Seniors

The Affordable Care Act’s prescription for the so-called “donut hole” in Medicare Part D has saved America’s disabled and elderly $5.7 billion on prescription drugs since being implemented, according to a report published Thursday (PDF) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Nothing but pain. Due to Obamacare they won't give me an MRI. So I have to pay for it myself.

POL-INC: Read it and weep. Sheesh, dude.



''For years, senior citizens have lamented the “donut hole” in
prescription drug coverage under Medicare, the federal health insurance
program for people who are at least 65 years old or disabled.



The Affordable Care Act gradually closes the gap. And many seniors have
already taken advantage of millions of dollars in discounts under the
new law, with the average New Jersey senior citizen saving $1,052 last
year, according to federal data. ''
