Do you think the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, will be beneficial to Idahoans?
“No. The law is a Ponzi Scheme that only fuels the real problem with health care: cost.”
–Jeff Ford
“Of course it is! UI suffered some of the same negative talk and press when the university required all students to prove they are insured, but overall, it has made the campus healthier. Students can now all go and see a doctor when they believe they are ill and it keeps our classrooms healthier because of that. Same will be true with the Affordable Care Act, if only Idaho politicians would be supportive.”
–Rick Fletcher
“I don’t know what’s affordable about it. It costs one-fifth of my annual income.”
–David C. Hoos
“No because it is not cost efficient at all for young adults going to college. If you’re an older individual it is worth it, but the problem is the younger generation has to pay for medical difference for older people. For an example, my insurance through Affordable Care Act — Obamacare — is $435 a month, but on my own policy that meets the standards is $189 a month, so you choose. There is that misconception young people have that this new insurance is free, and it’s not.”
