  2. I thought Obamacare fixed all this? He said everybody would have health care, guess it was all one big expensive lie.

  9. 9:30 nails it. Byron, you should feel really proud that schemers like yourself and the ghetto baby makers you’re so fond of defraud the government while people like this WORKING, TAX-PAYING family can’t qualify for any sort of assistance for their severely ill kid. That’s as wrong as it gets.

  10. Byron, when you arrived at the location to take the Mensa qualifying test, I heard they sent you four doors down the hall, to prep for the Darwin remedial class.

  11. Trump and the GOP rescinded the individual mandate. Then through executive order and state laws they reintroduced crap insurance plans.

    Millions more were covered under Obama. Coverage also expanded under Medicaid expansion. Costs to customers stabilized and subsidies helped low income families pay for it.

    Mocking the progress made under Obama with lies about the program don't help cover up Trump's damage and broken promises. Maybe charity is what Trump meant by you getting much better health care at much cheaper prices. Begging.

    1. Do you know where obama made his mistake?
      Instead of just providing coverage for the estimated thirty million uninsured, he decided to destroy the insurance coverage of two hundred million people and then fine us if we didn’t agree to that
      He truly believed that because he was elected, that the country had abandoned the idea that we are a country of individuals, not a “commune”

  12. 8:46, high deductibles are built into Obamacare. Your choice is between unaffordable premiums and unaffordable deductibles. The individual mandate was supposed to level this out, but it completely failed to do so. But this family probably does not have an Obamacare policy. More likely, it is an employer provided group coverage that was grandfathered in as an exception. And while the deductible is high, there is a maximum-out-of-pocket feature that forestalls catastrophic level expenses. If the husband's earnings are not sufficient to cover household expenses, maybe the wife should get a job to help out.
