God drat the idea of a girl who changes her mind the morning after is so terrible and it has such traction in people's heads  Like four months ago I found out my freshman year roommate had been in state prison for like four years for rape and ended up getting the conviction overturned because he got a retrial on a technicality and the case was much weaker without the girl, who I assume really didn't feel like reliving all of it four years later and didn't testify again. He basically used this defense and it somehow worked the second time around despite the people testifying saying that she came in from outside crying with grass stains and blood

^ Before AHA you had two routes. The first you could go get treatment uninsured, but it would put you in debt for the next six generations. Or you could go through an insurer that would split the bill with you, usually 50%-75% depending on your plan/needs. BUT your insurer could drop you at any time for any reason if you became too much of a cost issue or flat out deny you if you had pre-existing conditions. Often your plans weren't really cheap, but they were still a better option then none. Insurance companies also regulated what treatment you got, often whatever was the cheapest. Lucky people got plans through their employer. After AHA you have to be insured or pay a fine every year when you pay taxes, all employers except for small operations have to offer insurance, and insurance providers cannot refuse you or dump you if you become expensive. It basically encourages everyone to be insured and forces insurers not to be profit scumbags that choose money over someone's health (You know, sorta like death panels that conservatives claimed the AHA would be).

Aumanor posted:I feel a bit out of the loop, can anyone explain to a person who has never been to US how healthcare worked in America before the ACA and how it works now? Prior to the ACA, health insurance was generally unavailable to individuals, but this varied by state. You generally had to get insurance through your employer, but employers did not have to offer insurance as a benefit. The insurance industry established lifetime benefit caps and it was legal to turn away people if they had existing health conditions. Healthcare has become artificially, absurdly expensive and profit-driven. Simple medical conditions could easily bankrupt people without insurance. The ACA prevents insurance companies from establishing care limits and requires coverage of things like preexisting conditions, hospitalization, and drugs. It mandates that states set up a local marketplace for individuals to buy insurance as a group. States may instead choose to use a federally-powered exchange. States may also opt in to expanded federal funds for medicaid/medicare (I forget which, maybe both?), and may also opt in for subsidies to lower income folks. In order to ensure that private insurance companies don't go bankrupt from suddenly having to pay for sick people, it is now mandatory to be covered by insurance. Because those two programs are opt-in, heavily red states lead by Republicans with the toxic ideal that all government is bad government tended to opt-out. Those are the states getting hit by the worst rate increases. Almost all of the real stories about the ACA being a disaster come from the states that don't actually implement the ACA as intended. When you see stories about thousands of counties with only one provider, those are from red states that opted out of everything, with rural low density populations. The individual mandate is the thing that almost everyone is upset with, but without the mandate, the insurance industry can not offer comprehensive coverage and the actual good parts of the ACA have to be thrown out. Ryan's plan was to remove the mandate but allow insurance companies to add surcharges for newly insured people that went without insurance for a period of time. This would cause people that don't want to or can't pay insurance out of pocket to leave the system. With fewer people in the system to spread the cost of healthcare around, things will only get worse. Neither the ACA nor Ryan's plan attempt to actually drive down the real cost of healthcare. Republicans can't attack the actual healthcare cost issue without oversight and regulation of the industry, things that they are ideologically opposed to. Instead, they believe that the unregulated free market will fix everything, something that we have mountains of evidence against. Adopting price controls and establishing single payer like the entire rest of the goddamn civilized world is the only way out of this mess.

Yeah, although I think this one is more so on Ryan, who really is more responsible for this whole process, from the behind-closed-doors drafting of the bill, to the half-assed unveiling, to ramming through the committees, and the rushed vote in an attempt to push it through before anyone could really have a look at it. It was a terrible strategy. One wonders how he's going to approach tax reform now given this. You'd think he'd want to take it slower, bit he'll want to get a quick "win" too.

You know the answer to this. There's a old saying regarding casino gambling, "scared money never wins".

Between this and wanting Infowars unbanned I'm hoping this becomes the moment where the monster JimRob created moves out of his control, to the point where Freep turns on their creator and declares him to be not ideologically pure enough. In reality JimRob won't tolerate an iota of dissent and another mass purge would take place, but the idea that Frankenstein would play out in Freepville is too entertaining to not at least consider.
