My understanding was that you could keep whatever existing insurance you had. Am I incorrect?

What does President Obama tell the public? Listen for yourself.
“But we have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what’s in it....”
For Republicans and conservatives, nothing exemplifies government overreach and arrogance more than those 16 words, uttered by then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at the Legislative Conference for the National Association of Counties in March 2010. Ask her about that comment and the ensuing criticism today and Pelosi fights back.

Originally posted by RJHindsSo I am correct and you can keep whatever existing insurance you had. So for the people claiming their insurance went up, why did it go up? What is the relationship between their increased cost and Obama care?

Originally posted by checkbaiterI'm puzzled by the US system, I remember GW Bush trying to get a big tax cut through partly at the expense of Medicare(?). And people here pointing out the US defence budget is so big they must be able to afford free healthcare.
At one time health, poverty, etc., was dealt with by the church and God would get the glory. Now the gov. gets the glory.
The gov. is/has replaced God for many.
Been to the US 3 times and NY really puzzled me, there was a guy in wheelchair with a coffee cup on the back, who seemed to make a very good living out of it, if anything people seemed too generous, then this guy on the subway who looked like he just left hospital way to early, staggering. Phoenix was normal and Florida seemed to have a bit of a working underclass in the hotels who might not get cover?
Originally posted by twhiteheadNot exactly, unless you are a member of Congress or on a government plan. However, that does not mean premiums will remain the same even if you can keep your plan.

Originally posted by checkbaiterYa, now hospitals will turn people away 🙁
As it stands now, before obamacare, a hospital cannot turn down anyone. Now it will just cost more.
I think your so called compassion is misplaced. Yes, I am a Christian, who believes in a free society.
You sound like death is the end, it is not. We will all die someday. Get real!

Are you referring to the Grand Old Party that was founded by anti-slavery activists in 1854 and now is called the Republican Party?
I am referring to a political party which like many has done some good things and some not good, had some good ideas and some bad ones.
You can't rest on your laurels forever. Even the Nazis at least got the trains running on time again.
