Mass. Health Care: Fact-Checking The Florida GOP Presidential Debate

I couldn’t listen to your “fact checking” without weighing in.  As a citizen of MA, I am totally opposed to the new health care laws, and here’s why.  Before this law was passed, my employer offered health care – which albiet high, offered me coverage.  Now the coverage has dropped a little in cost, but I have a 2,000 per person deductible.  So, in literal terms, I pay about 10,000 a year for health care costs, and it literally pays for 1 physical and one eye care visit.  Should anything further be needed, I must pay out of pocket.  So to say the health care cost in MA have gone down may be 1/2 correct because you are simply not adding in that people are just not getting care they need because quite simply they can’t afford it.    This whole nonsense about the health care being discussed by those who put it in, or those who are cooking the “data” so it looks as though it’s done a good job are simply just winging everyone along….  In essence I am now paying 5,000 a physical and 5,000 an eye glass visit.  If I paid out of pocket for a physical I KNOW I would not be paying that amount for a visit.  But I can’t get rid of this insurance?  NO, or I get penalized.  Someone’s brother in government needed a good kickback…and got it!
