Different delays of the Affordable Care act. The enrollment. For 2015 will now start november 2014 instead of the previous planned october date. Delaysouncement of these and what you think about the changes to the Affordable Care act. Here are the numbers. Wall street journal chose this headline to talk about delays. Again, for those delays, we want to get your thoughts on this morning. Phone lines are on the screen. To give you a listing of the major timeline for the Affordable Care act, the october 1 date was when signups began. On november 30 the Obama Administration set a deadline for fixing healthcare. Gov. Come january 1, 2014, coverage begins. Some of the other options in play right now are march 31, enrollment deadline for 2014 coverage. Again, with that in mind, these delays, and Affordable Care act overall, heres jerry from columbus, ohio on our independent line. Caller still above ground in my 85th year. A veteran. Id like to know why the devil does not anybody ever bring out that the only other industrialized country that does not have National Healthcare is south africa and they are just 15 years out of apartheid. Eddie roosevelt over 100 years ago wanted National Healthcare and harry truman in january tony 4, 1949, in the state of the Union Message said we need to look because of the rising prices of description drugs and medical care, we need to look at National Healthcare. This country has let the American Medical Association and the National Association of manufacturers and the chamber of commerce which is supposed to be call the tunes and theyre still trying to call the tune. Go, what areyou your thoughts on the announced delays . Caller im a political on that. That 40 Million People that dont have health care will have health care. Host talk a little bit about why you brought up south africas situation. Because that is the only other industrialized country that does not have National Healthcare. Every other country has got it. Switzerland, germany, austria, france. Why dont you guys bring that out . Indiana. Ve from hello. Caller i agree with the previous color. It is something we all need and we are the only industrialized country other than south africa that does not have it. It is absolutely something we need. Curry up next from ocala, florida. This entire situation with obamacare is a train wreck and a mess. Where the president went wrong was he ignored what roosevelt did and what Lyndon Johnson did in passing social legislation. Was aent roosevelt president who finally got Social Security through after number of people had tried over the years. He did so by going to the republicans. It a higherand percent of republicans voted for Social Security than did democrats. I am not positive about that, but in a lot of them supported it. Lyndon johnson did the same thing with medicare. He frequently said he could never have gotten medicare theed without the help of Senate Majority leader who was a republican. Obama, instead, chose to cram this down our throats, not one republican participated in it or it must democrats did not participate in it. Whatever happened to the president s pledge when he was running for president the first time, to put all bills on the internet three days prior to a vote so we could all read them and try and understand them . He has dropped the ball there, he lied to us, im afraid and i dont believe the man is telling us the truth about much of anything. He doesnt care what we think about it or what our ideas might be. Out even asterisk him is theese items, here Washington Post looking at how the states are faring. They do highlight this 80,000 number in california heard they highlight some other issues as well. Still, it says californias major challenges to address its goal of wanting to enroll 1. 2 Million People. The first month of enrollment was dominated by older people. New delays being announced. One will affect those that are signing up this year, another moves to sign up date for 2 015 four next november. Im concerned about was paying 220 a month for insurance that covered me pretty well. That is cheap and tennessee. They canceled me and the next thing i found out it was going to cost six and 20 a month or it i made 26,000 a year. T isnt going to work out ver you eligible for any subsidies at all . Aller no nothing has been offered and theres nothing i can find out about heard i get the runaround when i try to go down and see. I dont what to do next. Statesville, North Carolina, democrats line. For taking my call. My comment is the delay on the Affordable Care act is, im ok with it. The main reason is that it was done on president obamas terms and not the republicans terms. Everything im seeing so far with all the commentary and every thing else is that basically the republicans want. Verything run by them they want everything to be okayed by them regardless of where it came from and what its able tohey want to be say its ok and its not ok regardless of whether it is good for the country or not. Basically, thats what it is. They are upset and mad because they cant call the shots and they cant say when it is going to happen and not happen. All i am hearing is a bunch of whining and crying from republicans. Another thing is that im really tired of hearing republicans and everyone else referring to this as obamacare. , it is thebamacare Affordable Care act. Please refer to it as such. The present himself referred to it as obamacare. But that aside, what are your thoughts personally about how the rollout has gone . Caller i knew it was going to be bumpy to begin with. Anything that is rolled out on a grand scale of this size is going to have problems. They all have problems. T is fine this is going to happen and were going to work through this. Im just tired of hearing all the republicans whining and crying because they are not happy with it. We are not running it by them first and okaying it. Thomas, heres brad from michigan, republican line. You are right, the republicans had nothing at all to do with obamacare and they wash their hands clean of that and it is obvious why. It has been a fiasco and it is going to get worse. Most people can afford it. Most people cant afford it. Most hardworking people are going to pay to the notion this. And it will be on their mind every time they open their bill up and look at what they used to pay. Is going to cost the democrats the house and the senate, just like it did back when clinton was in office. You going to sweep it this time. You are right. The republicans had nothing at all to do with this. They made sure that everybody knew that. It is coming apart at the seams right now. You can make your thoughts known on twitter as well. The process hasnt gone as he hoped that he hopes americans are getting more access to health care coverage. Here are the president s thoughts. We decided to fix a broken Health Care System and even though the rollout of the marketplace where you can buy affordable plans has been rough, so far about 500,000 americans are ways to gain Health Coverage starting january 1. Costs way, healthcare are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years. The president s weekly address. You can see that on the website. Here is shelley from lakeland, florida. Good morning. I agree with the gentleman from michigan. This program is going to kill persons like us who are just loop collar workers who are living paycheck to paycheck. Old and i have been getting notices that Social Security retirement which is my only hope for my older years may not be there. My savings consists of a few dollars in a checking account. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have no Health Care Insurance now. I do not qualify for a subsidy. Failure,ngestive heart but are still get up and push myself to work. I get no health care at work. I am a nurse. Onee millions being wasted patients that will never get any better, but we still do it. And now obama wants me to get Health Care Insurance. If i could afford it now i would. My health get problems fixed. Will go tos Affordable Care for people that are already eligible. When this Immigration Reform comes in, that is going to be a lot of people that the middle class, working class will be supporting. Host immigration will be the this that are 830 session morning. The december 23 website date is now the new deadline. Gloria is from indianapolis, indiana. Democrats line. Just wanted to call about the Affordable Care act. The thing i dont understand is i dont know whether the republicans think that we are crazy or we dont understand what is going on or whatever, what they keep saying that the democrats rammed this down the throats of the people. Well, i remember when they were trying to get the act passed, the republicans chose not to deal with it. They didnt want any part of this. It was their own doing. Was the Affordable Care act based on romneys plan. Now all of a sudden, when barack does this, then the republicans want to act like they didnt have anything to do with it. It is nothing to do with republicans and all this. They wanted to make the president a one term president and they had already stated that they werent going to do anything to support him. We are not crazy people we know what is going on. You didnt want this because it it is. Mocrat way just live with it. Host gloria, tell us your thoughts not just about the deadlines but about the rollout of the Affordable Care act. Caller anything that has to do with computers and everything, normally they do have problems. I dont know why everybody is acting like this is unusual. This thing doesnt happen, it happens all the time. Even with your cell phone, with anything that has to do with stuff like that, there are always problems. This is just another way to complain about what the president is doing. He is trying to help everyone. I have never seen people that dont even choose to help themselves. They keep saying we dont have, were not then be able to afford it, were not going be able to do this. That is what the subsidies are for. Go into the program and see what is out there and see what is offered. In the and it is going to work out and then theyre going to have egg on their face because it is going to work out. David from jonesboro, arkansas. Hes on a republican line. Hi, this is david rees. How are you doing. It is amazing to me that when a republican put something out the democrats hate it. I remember one of the prime things that george bush did was Social Security reform. Here was not one democrat one of the most startling thing is i hear the democrats and that. Icans say this and i am an attorney. I will never forget as long as i live when harry reid on the floor of the senate during the surge that george bush was pushing, said the war is lost. I dont know what everyone else thinks, and i dont mean this to be extreme, but that is an impeachable offense. That is a crime against america. Can you imagine the American Forces in the field . Hearing that the leader of the senate said we have lost the war . And i amlly shocked shocked havent heard other people talk about it. Regarding the Affordable Care act, i think we need to realize president obama is very good at some things and he is not good at others. He is very good at reading a orplate or reading a tablet reading his Little Things that they put on his speeches. He is good at giving a speech. He is good at empathizing, but he is not good at implementing policy. If you just take away the speeches and look at the policy, of trillion dollar rollout the first thing he did ended up the a Million DollarsAmerican People have never, not one time, have over 50 not been against it. But even after scott graham one in massachusetts, he change the senate. I will say one thing about obama. Heres one of the most dogged individuals and stubborn. He is going to get his way. Host al from cambridge ohio, independent line, is next. Supporter of im a the Affordable Care act. I was able to find a comparable ohio on theere in verge of retirement. Thate a report here Speaker Boehner signed up for the Affordable Care act yesterday. Have you heard this . Host you try to and i dont think he was successful, if i recall correctly.

How much were you paying before and how much are you paying now . Had health care at my employer. I was looking for comparable coverage on the healthcare. Gov. Our legislature didnt choose the set up in exchange so i had to go to healthcare. Gov. I think i did it on october 1 or second. I was just looking for estimates. I wont be able to apply until i start to lose insurance in april of 2014. Host what are you going to pay now . My coverage is 225 dollars per month. On healthcare. Gov i found one 209, a silver plan. It is comparable coverage. One of the big things about it for me is that outofpocket maximum. Before we didnt have any out ofpocket maximum and they could charge whatever they wanted. Ohio im seeing pages and pages of foreclosures and bankruptcies. All foreclosures were due to medical bills. Associated press reporting that Speaker Boehner tweeted his frustration. Here is paulette from opalocka, florida on the democrat line. He stole my thunder. I was just about to inform the republicans that raynor did sign up. He makes over 200,000 a year and his policy is going to awesome only 200 something per month. It is not good for the American People but it is good for him . Come on up mama america, wake up. Host houston, texas, republican line. Caller im an 80yearold black republican. Voice award. The democrats must think we are crazy. Crammed down our throats with no help from the republicans.

It said the president is personally lobbying and calling some senators. The president expected to head to california starting on sunday. He stops in seattle, San Francisco and los angeles. Next. Youre up marshal, texas. Caller isnt it typical of democrats when they cant get something done you have to change the rules. Myually, im talking about dissatisfaction with the republicans. What they needg to be doing is put it in faster. As soon as he American People realize what this will do, that every premium in the country, theyre going to hate this. Youre absolutely going to hate this. I was watching cspan last night and they were having, i dont even know a committee it was. Mary landrieu was the chair of it. They had a bunch of small talking people up there about how none of this would affect small business. If you have less than 50 employees this doesnt even affect you, so what are you complaining about . Going to raise every premium, ok . Yes, that is going to affect every business. Host jimmy, san antonio, texas. The rollout of the aca. I have worked with computers for cryptologyncluding and infrastructure, installation and engineering. The one big problem a lot of people have is the endusers computer. Cpu andont update your you dont have enough memory and youre still on a landline, your computer will actually time out. May bet of this trouble because of the endusers. Also, if you want to sabotage something you can redirect a webpage and redirect things online. So maybe all this problem is not caused just by the engineers that designed the system, it people whoused by have not upgraded their computers. The allegheny tableau. Here is frederick from mechanicsville, maryland. His other republican line. Republicans, democrats, independents, this is a sad situation for this country because where we are heading is socialism. If these people dont Start Talking about it, nobody is going to know. It is already going to be here and americans are going to have to live with it.

It is not become clear that the reality of the president S Health Care law does not match what he promised.
