http://www.healthcare.gov/law/timeline/

We can do this like the Pennsylvania GOTP check-list:

ACA:
1) Small Business Health Insurance Tax Credits: DONE
2) Allowing States to Cover More People on Medicaid: DONE (The fact that the knuckle-draggers in some GOTP-controlled states have chosen not to is not the fault of the program.)
3) Relief for 4-Million Seniors Who Hit the Medicare Prescription Drug “Donut Hole”: DONE
4) Expanding Coverage for Early Retirees: DONE
5) Pre-existing conditions covered for children: DONE
6) Wellness exams and preventative care covered: DONE
7) Specific Free Preventive Care for Seniors: DONE
8) Lifetime limits on coverage, gone..: DONE
9) Regulating Annual Limits on Insurance Coverage; Lowered now; GONE in 2014
10) Prohibiting Insurance Companies from Rescinding Coverage: DONE
11) Coverage for Young Adults to age-26 on parent's policy: DONE
12) Appealing Insurance Company Decisions with external review process: DONE
13) Pre-existing conditions covered for adults: 2014, DONE
14) Holding Insurance Companies Accountable for Unreasonable Rate Hikes: DONE
15) Rebuilding the Primary Care Workforce: Incentives, DONE
16) Additional Prescription Drug Discounts for Seniors: DONE
17) Bringing Down Health Care Premiums by REQUIRING that at LEAST 85% of premiums go to patient care...(instead of fat salaries for CEOs and Admins/advertising/etc.): DONE
18) Addressing Overpayments to Big Insurance Companies and Strengthening Medicare Advantage: DONE
19) Reducing Paperwork and Administrative Costs: DONE
20) Linking Payment to Quality Outcomes: DONE
21) Establishing Affordable Insurance Exchanges (where states aren't blocking it...and using the Fed Gov't to establish them if the state refuses): 2014, DONE

RMoney/Lyin'-Ryan Plan:

1) Here's a voucher. Go out and see what you can buy (at the age of 65, and with any preexisting conditions) on the open market.
2) It's going to cost you at least $6,500/year more.
3) But, gee, you get to "choose"...
4) You don't have insurance? Go to the Emergency Room.
5) But, "trust us"...We won't give you details, but ACA is somehow "bad for you"... "Government takeover of healthcare"..(It's not...But it's a focus-tested phrase that they tell us will scare you.)

You can't make this stuff up... rofllol

Gee, that means that speculating about "how bad it will be", and the lies about how much it will increase the debt, (when the GAO is saying that it will save Billions over the next 10 years) is just as useless...

Thanks. Another GOTP talking-point down the drain.
