How does Obamacare make health care "free?"?

Obamacare is primarily a mandate that individuals buy insurance in the market, so even in that "government crap is free!" sense, Obamacare does not provide free care.

And yes, the reality is that, unless we're enslaving doctors and nurses and seizing health equipment, we're all still paying through taxes. Plus, the people who work for or manufacture for the health care industry all need to be paid and that costs money.

It doesn't and no one has made that claim.

There is no change in the way you pay for your insurance for 90% of people. You still pay your insurance company. The few that elected to not have insurance will have to pay, just like you, to an insurance company.

Since there will be a larger pool of people covered by PRIVATE insurance plans, the average cose will not increase as fast as in the past. So in the long run you will end up paying less. But it will never be free.

No one is claiming that.

However, let us look at the what happened in MA. Because of the health care reform in MA, the model for Obamacare, the growth of premium increase is slowing. "From 2006 to 2010, employer-sponsored health-care premiums for a family rose about 19% in Massachusetts, while they rose about 22% in the US as a whole. Compare that to the period between 2002 and 2006, when Bay State family premiums increased 40% and US family premiums rose only 34.5%. Family premiums have seen the greatest reduction in growth since Romneycare; individual premiums have also slowed their rate of growth, though by not as much. For both family and individual premiums, the rate of growth fell below the national average in the period between 2008 and 2010."

In other words, RomneyCare, the model of Obamacare, has bend the cost curve.

they're forcing those interior the age 20 to 35 bracket to purchase scientific wellness coverage that's the age bracket that maximum folk with out scientific wellness coverage are in why do no longer they have it ? by way of fact in simple terms they actually do no longer want it 2. purchase forcing those in that age bracket, who many times won't somewhat use the coverage they're making them subsidize anybody else 3. and then they're praying, that those in that age bracket, won't in simple terms pay the Tax, that's constrained via regulation to a couplehundred in line with three hundred and sixty 5 days quite than spending a coupleof thousand on coverage 4. by way of fact if those in that age bracket, all in simple terms pay the Tax and not purchase coverage then the fee of regulations for each individual else will sky rocket 5. and since the U.S. stated it replaced right into a tax, no longer a great they can not in simple terms appropiate extra funds to subsadize that extra suitable fee they're going to could bypass a extensive-unfold tax strengthen - to have the skill to strengthen the tax for no longer procuring a coverage 6. and republicans will block any tax strengthen to fund obamacare

1. Not free

2. It would lower premiums

3. **** Obama, he has it all wrong. His idea is giving the gov't more control and creating less competetion and slowing down the economy. No wonder unemployment is so high

Most liberals don't claim that health care is free. None that I know of. Can you name three?

It doesn't and no liberal is making that claim.

The actual plan for socialized health care was never even put before Congress. "Obamacare" is the comprimise plan.

Paying insurance premiums has nothing to do with health care. Does paying for car insurance make us better drivers?

It does not. The Affordable Healthcare Act makes it affordable. The clue is in the name.

I do not understand why so many Americans have fallen for lies about healthcare in the USA, abroad and also the planned reforms [1]. I mean, if the healthcare system in the USA is so good, why have no other nations taken it up? Could it be due to the following facts?

FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [2].

FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [3].

Or if the US healthcare system is run so well, why not run the fire service like the healthcare system? [4]

Maybe that is because in the USA, before the reforms Obama brought in, insurance companies pushed up costs, bought politicians and refused to pay claims that people pay for [5]. (Look up Wendell Potter on YouTube to hear more if the link below is too long.)

Obama wants to make insurance cheaper, stop insurance companies from refusing health coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, and make sure they pay out when they are meant to [6], a system similar to that which works in Taiwan [7]. He debated this before he was elected [8].

Is it right that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, Cuba, Germany and so many other industrialised nations with universal healthcare?

If you think my arguments are wrong, e-mail me with proof. But if you can not, let Obama try to help America. If he fails, vote him out in 2012.

Actually, I have never seen anything from "Liberals" about "how President Obama has made health care 'free'". Nor have you, though I hear it a lot from fake conservative trolls who find the real issues too hard to learn.
