Obama Care, is it really the benefit to consumers that it's cracked up to be?

If 'Obama Care' is so wonderful, why are there so many health insurance companies advertizing for customers on television right now?

    It is a mess. Doctors and hospitals are not required to accept it. So, the really good ones DON'T. Most of the people that have signed up are the indigent and so it is going to work like a welfare situation. This hit the middle class hard because with no more pre-existing clause, everyone can get covered and the insurance companies are not in business to lose money. So they took it out on the middle class by raising plans 50-70%. Many people, including myself who were very happy with their coverage could not afford it any longer due to the hike. The media likes to force feed us that people were not happy with how insurance worked, but true as that may be at least we could afford it and go to the doctor and hospital of our choosing. Now I (and many others) have been forced into getting Obama care if we want any coverage at all. There is mass confusion within the healthcare industry as to how it all works, and some people are finding that the doctor or hospital visit that they thought was covered, turns out it wasn't but the administrator didn't realize they didn't take Obama care. So now unsuspecting citizens are left holding the bill. The "millions" that didn't have insurance before Obama care have simply been replaced with all the hard working folks that used to have it, but now have nothing because of Obama care destroying the health insurance industry as we knew it. So nothing has changed other than "who" doesn't have coverage. It is the middle class.

    The commercials have nothing to with ACA. If you have good health insurance, good for you. Why do you cons want to denied over 44 millions America who do not have the same. I think everyone should have affordable health care. $

    Well when you become very ill and in need of sustained medical help, then you will be able to answer that question your self, but in the meantime let hope that those in need of sustain medical help, get all the help that they can. As it seams that the television is your nearest confidant, then why not seek the answer there.

    Then you can squawk on like the rest of the parrots!!

    Yes, it is. Tens of millions of people have received benefits from the PPACA. Since you are a conservative, you hate that.
