Mike C: "I have frequently posted claims from evidence Rep. Comer has brought forth including cancelled checks cashed by the Biden family. You really want to argue such cancelled checks are conspiracy claims."
That's what you consider "evidence"? I don't believe you're an attorney, and won't until you tell us your Bar Number, and I can confirm in Mardindale-Hubbell. If you are, I feel for your clients! Do you go not court with conspiracy theories, evidence that proves nothing, witnesses who do not support your allegations?
Please tell me, because I have long wondered, where exactly do you think -- where have you thought all along -- that America is coming back
from?
America was coming back from the slow economic growth and burdensome regulations of the Obama years. For example, wasn't Obamacare supposed to solve the healthcare crisis in America? If so, why do such costs keep escalating and Biden and crew want even more intervention in the healthcare sector, such as price controls on drugs. Price controls inevitably lead to shortages and black markets. See the price of housing in NYC for a perfect case study of price controls.
I can assure you I am a licensed attorney. No, the bar rules in the states I practice prohibit me from posting my license numbers. They worry about ID theft.
On the bar exam, one day of testing is devoted to a multi-state exam (200 multiple choice questions in 6 hours) and another day to testing of state law issues (between 5-6 essays). Only an attorney who has passed the bar exam would know that infromation.
Well, then, there's no harm in cross referencing your profile on Martindale-Hubble is there? Just post it here for us. Otherwise we're just going to have to assume that you're another scammer and internet troll. Unless "Mike C" is "Michael Cohen" in which case you will need to verify that you've flipped back to being a Trumper and in support of the former boss.
Oh, many things have been solved thanks to Obamacare, despite your right wing propaganda.
Such as those with pre-exising conditions:
"Before the ACA was enacted, insurance companies were able to deny or upcharge people with pre-existing conditions. People could be declined health insurance if they had HIV, diabetes, epilepsy, and even if they were pregnant.
Now, the ACA protects all Americans, including more than 129 million people with pre-existing conditions, from such discrimination—ensuring they can afford the medical care they need."
The ACA has also lowered costs:
"The ACA has taken tremendous strides toward lowering health care costs. The premium tax credit ensures that health care premiums are affordable. For those with low incomes, premiums cost nothing. For others, premiums are capped at 8.5% of household income. Four out of five ACA customers can find insurance plans for $10 or less a month thanks to the premium tax credit. The ACA also offers subsidies that lower deductibles, copayments, and out-of-pocket maximums. The median deductible for an ACA plan in 2021 was just $750."
Not only that, the ACA has required all insurance companies to require 10 critical health benefits:
"Before the ACA, the federal government didn’t require insurance companies to cover essential health benefits. For example, more than 60% of people buying coverage on their own didn’t have maternity coverage.13 Around 20% didn’t have coverage for mental health care. And 10% didn’t have any coverage for prescription medications.
The ACA required that all insurance companies cover 10 essential health benefits:
Outpatient services
Emergency services
Hospitalization
Maternity and newborn care
Mental health and substance use disorder services
Prescription drugs
Rehabilitative and habilitative services
Laboratory services
Preventive services
Pediatric services
The ACA also prohibited health plans from setting annual and lifetime limits on how much they would spend on essential health benefits.14 Before the ACA, patients were required to cover all costs above this limit. For patients with chronic illnesses, this was especially debilitating. Now, patients can get the medical care they need without having to worry about insurance cutting them off."
So, no, Mike C, Obamacare has absolutely worked well. In spite of your right wing propaganda against it.
