Thirty-three percent of Americans have delayed medical treatment for themselves or their families because of the costs they’d have to pay

As I've pointed out many times, people can't afford to use Obamacare insurance.

I never suggested they would. The ACA has generous subsidies to help most people pay for the insurance though.
The house cleaner that comes every two weeks to help my wife clean our house said she could not afford it and even though she is Black she does not like Obama as President.

The law can't make people be aware.

It is not that people are not aware of Obamacare a.k.a ACA. It is that there has been no effort to explain the details of the bill or how it works.

Originally posted by QuarlThat is the preposterous claim of a right wing lawsuit that has been rejected by every court save one. Unfortunately, that claim has made it to the SCOTUS rather than be summarily dismissed as the absurdity it is. The subsidies were the very heart of the ACA and no one ever suggested or implied during the debates on passing it that States would have a veto power over them and, in effect, the entire law.
Subsidies are only available to those who live in states which set up "state exchanges." Few states did this.

That is the preposterous claim of a right wing lawsuit that has been rejected by every court save one.

The subsidies were the very heart of the ACA and no one ever suggested or implied during the debates on passing it that States would have a veto power over them and, in effect, the entire law.
Rep. Jason Spencer (R-Woodbine) pushed through the Legislature a Tea Party-supported bill that prohibits the state from running its own insurance exchange.
Rep. Jason Spencer House Bill 943, passed at the tail end of the General Assembly, also forbids state employees to advocate for Medicaid expansion, and halts the “navigator” insurance counseling program at the University of Georgia. The bill was signed into law this week by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal.
Supporters of the Affordable Care Act, meanwhile, say that House Bill 943 is bad, though not nearly as bad as it could have been. But Spencer told GHN this week that his legislation “is going to be a huge problem for Obamacare.” He said it works in tandem with another bill – also signed this week – that requires legislative approval for a Medicaid expansion. (The state’s GOP leadership has already rejected such an expansion, but the new law makes a reversal of that decision more difficult.) “We are the first state, to my knowledge, that has put such a tough initiative together at the state level to essentially throw sand in the gears of Obamacare,” Spencer said. “Other states are watching what we are doing.”

Originally posted by no1marauderIn fact, my youngest would be much better off without it right now.. It's shame she has to pay for health insurance while doing her unpaid internship. Now she not only has school to pay for, room and board, gas for travel, but an insurance bill as well.. 9 months left, then when she hits the work force, she could garb insurance right?
Yes they were much better off when they had no insurance.
