WOOHOO!!!!!...

[madmom]

My daughter got her medicaid card in the mail today! She's been one of those "working poor" who couldn't afford insurance and works for a small mom & pop shop, so they don't provide insurance. She filed on line, took in her documents just before Christmas, got her card today. She's on cloud nine!!! Now she can go have some desperately need medical treatments done.


Oh and THANKS OBAMA!!!!!!

1. I'm in urgent care right now

using mine. Copay was $2!! Already had chest films for my cough. Was told highest copay they have ever seen for X-rays was $10. Nice to be fully covered for a change.

20. good to hear!

5. I can't wait for universal care

so we can all get the same deal.

[randome]

10. I do think that's inevitable now. It just won't happen as quickly as we would want.

14. I concur

[Habibi]

18. Yes. Hopefully without "estate recovery" coming back to bite our asses.

Sorry, but that seems to be the (very significant) downside of Medicaid expansion.

That said, I'm glad people can get the medical care they need now.

27. You will still pay for Universal Health Care if employed and paying taxes. The difference

between Universal Health coverage and the ACA is that under Universal Health Care, everyone would be contributing to the system, there won't be a concern that young, healthy people could chose to not get insurance, they won't have a choice but to be insured, and that is a good result.

[CFLDem]

28. I just want those copays.

I pay a bundle in the premium for health insurance and then continue paying a bundle in copays and deductibles when I need care.

$10 for X-rays? Sign me up!

[aggiesal]

36. And it will be cheaper for everyone. . . .

Look at your paycheck and ask yourself if you had single-payer with full coverage for the price you currently pay into medicare? Because that's what I believe it would cost, or less.

6. excellent example of how medicaid expansion helps small biz

in addition to a major personal victory

i've owned small businesses and worked for a few small businesses and not being able to provide/access healthcare was always a HUGE issue.

it's time for the rest of the holdout states to expand NOW! looking at you Florida.

16. I was in the hospital with

Dehydration a few days ago! THANKS OBAMA CARE!!

[AAO]

26. How did that happen Yui ?

Not that it's any of my business, but it makes me worry. By the way, best of luck to your team tomorrow. May the best team win.

[yuiyoshida]

37. Not my team....

I AM a RAIDER GIRL...

[AAO]

40. I only said that because of your profile

you say "Fan of SF Giants and the Oakland Raiders!"

[yuiyoshida]

41. Yes i love

The SF giants.. but I have always been an Oakland Raider fan as well. I don't care for the 49ers. They are a football franchise that is moving out of San Francisco to Santa Clara because they "have better fans (read, better money) there than San Francisco." If the Giants felt that way about city fans, I would root for the Dodgers.

[AAO]

42. Don't know why I saw 49ers instead of giants

Because believe me, I'm all over it!

44. Eh?

17. I retired at 62 to take care of my 93 year old mother.

She doesn't want to go to the nursing home and now, I am not biting my fingernails because I don't have insurance. I'm covered.....and Mom stays at home.

The first thing I did was call my weirdo Republican sister and let her know. She had nothing to say except that she was happy for me. Guess so. If I get sick, guess who gets to take care of Mom and she is always sooooooo busy working at church. Whatever.

I'm so happy I could spit! Zero cost!
Because of pre-existing conditions, I was quoted insurance premums of $700 per month before Obamacare kicked in.

[Kath1]

34. Similar situation right here!

"The first thing I did was call my weirdo Republican sister and let her know." - Good for you!

$0 cost for me, also! Obamacare rocks me socks off. I can hardly believe how really excellent this program is!

[Iliyah]

21. Don't read much positives from the general media

but post like this is good to read. Watch local ABC news and of they were reporting still all the negatives.

Local news any positive . . . a few million have been able to get and sign up for Obamacare but that's it.

[Bobcat]

22. Read This

If you haven't already read it. The media isn't even remotely trying to find the truth on this issue. Investigative journalism is dead.

[Kath1]

31. That is wonderful, madmom!

So happy for you and your daughter!

Spread the good word about Obamacare!

It is a great thing for me and my daughter, also!

I LOVE OBAMACARE!

32. There are so many who have gone for so long without even a checkup that America will be shocked,....

...that we EVER allowed it to get so bad.

33. My daughter's ACA insurance card came in the mail today.

She lost her job about 1 1/2 years ago and has been scraping by doing freelance and part time work. Nobody wants to hire a 55 year old lady. She had to drop her insurance, it was running $325 a month and she could no longer pay it. We have been helping her so she can make her house payment so she won't lose her home. Anyway, she signed up for ACA in December, but no card and no insurance number. Then about two week ago, she got a kidney infection and has had to go to the doctor twice. The doc wanted to run some tests, but she said she could not pay for them and would have to wait until her insurance was effective. Now she is covered and she can go to doctor and get the treatment she needs. She qualified for a credit and her monthly insurance payment is $50. God Bless Obamacare!

[Kath1]

35. God Bless Obamacare!

Yes!

Obamacare kicks ass!

So glad your daughter can get the treatment she needs!
