“Surely everybody in CNN’s 40,000 cohort of watchers can afford the platinum policy, no?”
BOL! Your estimate of CNN idiots er watchers, is probably too kind.
People are walking away because they have no understanding of their healthcare period!
A woman signs up for healthcare the day before Christmas...goes to the hospital today without an Insurance card or information....though she has signed up for a plan...she has no ‘understanding’ her deductable is $4000. ....So even if they treated her she has not met her deductible and would have to pay until that is meant. I suspect they told her she would have to pay her deductable anyway.....and that is why she walked away IMO.
I think many low voters are under the impression that if they simply pay their premium the rest is a ride.....they have little understanding that have to “pay” their deductible, usually in the thousands, before their Insurance kicks in.
For this we have yet to see the outrage of those who think just paying their premium is their only cost. ...so there’s another storm coming. And they’ll no doubt drop any coverage they have and go back to the ER “standards” they’ve been accustomed to.
Don’t have any actual facts.
That was the number Trump used when he was mocking Wulf Blister about how lame the network was.
Pay the premium? They thought they were getting a check for that amount.
“Maam, your premium is $715 a month”
“Oh thank goodness. I can get the kid’s toys out of layaway”
CNN is probably lamer now re viewers.
LOLOLOL..they really don’t understand the terminology or what this is about. Some understand all must pay a premium but few understand they must also pay a co-pay and deductible.
Many have not ever had Insurance and with Obama pushing they’re going to finally have Insurance..they still think if they pay “their share” of the premium alone the rest is a free ride.
All these people who “enrolled” were unaware that they had to pay to get an insurance card. They were planning to pay a little each month towards the premium.
“My premium is $715 a month. Can I just pay $150 a month towards it until I get it paid off?”
lol correct you are.
>> The MSM will sim[ply not report this story.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
They might have simply had the decency to realize the docs weren’t to blame, and that having a fit at them would be trashy and low class.

You might be correct. Both of these doctors have been in practice a long time, and they are good people as well as good doctors.
