Gay community ‘Coming Out’ to enroll in Obamacare
FOX-2 St. Louis ^ | October 11, 2013 | Staff Writer

Jeff Jones started shopping for health insurance as soon as the Obamacare insurance marketplaces opened on October 1.

The Kentucky resident is like a lot LGBT citizens who have not had access to affordable health insurance in the past. If Jones, 47, had been able to legally marry, he would have immediately been eligible for coverage under his partner, Nathan Walker’s, policy. Walker has domestic partnership benefits at work, but the couple haven’t lived together long enough to qualify for them.

“I’m a diabetic, so I do want to make sure I’m covered,” Jones said.

As a whole the LGBT community has less experience with insurance than the general population. A survey done by Out2Enroll, a group that focuses on helping the LGBT community with health issues, found that about a third of respondents were uninsured. It’s estimated some 16.3% of the general population is uninsured.

In honor of National Coming Out Day on Friday, Out2Enroll’s “Be Out. Be Healthy. Get Covered” campaign has launched a new LGBT-friendly website with advice about how to navigate the insurance marketplace.

“You all can see where this is going...right? THe sick (necessarily homosexuals) soak up the $$$. Since they’re a govt protected group they get preference. That means you dont. Nice huh...but you still have to pay the ever increasing premiums for them.”

The gay homosexual guys will cost a lot to extend their lives a few years, like 50k to 150k per year.

Then, the lesbian women, who live to their 60-70’s will take their turn re eating up the health care $’s with severe mental illness and depression and long term chronic diseases.

“but you still have to pay the ever increasing premiums for them.”

Not only that, Fox reported that States are dumping their prisoners on to Obamacare.

When you have a $10,000 yearly copay, it’s not free stuff.

Is signing up for FUBOcare any easier for a gay person than for a straight person?

"Wait until the HIV positive community is given morphine and a cot instead of more life prolonging therapies."

I will be the WWII vet needing a heart valve that will get the shot and a cot. He is more likely to not be an Obama supporter, so his health needs are a lower priority.

Right on cue, that basketball player is now claiming that homophobia is preventing teams from picking him up.

I never imagined this country could fall so far, so fast............

It has to be radical and fast, otherwise even the drones would notice and a remedial solution could be enacted to stem it.

Saying you’re “gay” must be a special password for special medical treatment. They roll out the red carpet for you.

Might give it a try, just for grins.

It's not "insurance" anymore, but a wealth redistribution scheme. In their more unguarded moments, this illegitimate government has admitted as much.

Insurance is managing risk, nothing more.

When an outside party dumps an inordinate amount of risk into the equation, and then demands the same coverage, management becomes an extinct species.

Whatever. They can simply go to the new Obamacare website and buy their insurance. Why do they need to make a big production out of it?
