Thanks To Obamacare, Young Adults And Hospitals Saved $147 Million In 2011 Alone

Article PhotoAn estimated 3.1 million young Americans who would have lacked health coverage gained access to it thanks to an Obamacare provision that allows adults up to age 26 to remain on their parents’ health insurance. A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine concludes that shift saved young people from paying — and hospitals from absorbing — $147 million in high medical bills for treating catastrophic conditions such as broken bones, poisonings, and traumatic brain injuries in 2011 alone.
so why would the GOP deny 3.1 million of our children like their reference in the primary, die on the gurney because they had no insurance. this is the abomination that will kill Americans and bankrupt the country, they already did that and have been trying to kick that dirt on Pres.'s shoes every since. 
what sounds more feasible ObamaCares or it will kill and loot the gov't coffers at your expense because they refuse to let the rich pay any significant tax. the numeral uno of all the obstruction.
Without the health law’s protections, uninsured young Americans would have been forced to foot the bill for these urgent care visits. “Some of those costs would have been born by individuals,” said Andrew Mulcahy, one of the study’s authors. “Some of those costs would have been ultimately been born by hospitals as uncompensated care.”
If those young people had been forced to rely on catastrophic emergency room care, they could have been at risk for financial ruin. The average ER trip costs 40 percent more than what most Americans spend on monthly rent, with the price of serious injury treatments ranging anywhere from $1,000 to $3,600 depending on the hospital. Just one serious medical condition can bankrupt Americans.
thank about it when one party says it's looking out for you and jobs are the main focus, but you didn't even get a ratty T-shirt out of the deal, the other one ever it can get around the aforementioned group was for "we the people" all of us yes even those, what you didn't get is sitting on a desk if not a trash can waiting for Beohner and the boyz to decide that your well being is worth a vote at least.
