and medical equipment, (like an MRI) will not be covered and of course it will result in his death. Can someone with better sleuthing skills than me look at the video and see if they can check this guy out?
His name is Bill Elliott from SC. He says:
He was paying $180 per month and was getting great treatment for his cancer.
Now that he was cancelled it will cost him $1,500 a month just for him! With a $13,500 deductible
I know it is a lie. I just don't know how to prove it.

(7,051 posts)Considering it's Faux News, his story is likely embellished, but it doesn't make your judgmental comment any less ignorant.

You win, dude or dudette, I cannot compete with that!
Scuse me whilst I go down to redeem my free Mai Tai coupon at the Hokulea Lounge, Ihilani Resort and Spa.
I'd post a pic but prefer to remain as anonymous as possible.

(115,674 posts)is not working in his best interest. This happened to me too, my catastrophic insurance is cancelled and I was told the "comparable new" plan would cost 2-3 times as much. So I got on the exchange and found a much better much lower cost one there.

(3,639 posts)Should be exposed, and if it is to mislead folks into signing up for the ACA, perhaps some charges should be pursed if possible

He also said Now with Obamacare, the man that Ive got looked into it, they are not going to pay for pharmaceuticals or medical devices.
But under Obamacare, both of those categories are mandated as essential health benefits ....

(344 posts)Just so they can use his ignorance. He tried 3 times to get on the site, but determined nothing could be done. I'm sure Faux News isn't going to help. Or he's lying.

(35,151 posts)a Rethug he heard drug prices are going to triple in the next year because Obamacare
(the guvment) is going to buy up drugs and create a shortage. They think Obamacare is (guvment) healthcare not from an insurance company. Faux watchers will beleive Obamacare is buying up all the drugs and at the same time beleive Obamacare doesn't pay for drugs.

(15,064 posts)I was born and raised there. He is exaggerating. He's probably a Tea Bagger. He tried to get onto the ACA website 3 whole times. Probably as far as he is able to count. I do hope he gets help if he really has cancer. Obviously his insurance agent lied to him.
