Once again, SK, you are still attempting to deflect the actual issues I brought up re: the inner workings of the ACA in CA, which obviously you have no experience with, being that you reside in AZ. You are doing this through your thinly-veiled insult diatribe towards me. It appears that you have been using outrageous insults in an attempt to get me to stop discussing what needs to be discussed about how the ACA actually “works” (or doesn’t work) in CA. I would not have expected that of you, of all Piggs. If I’m reading your posts of this morning correctly, you’re essentially stating that you knew all along that the ACA was expressly designed to place the masses on Medicaid whether they wanted to be there … or not. But your posts yesterday and prior omitted that dirty little secret by glossing over the facts. For example, last night, you posted only the figures you perceived were already enrolled in CC marketplace healthplans (1.7M, an erroneous figure). But you (conveniently) “failed” to come up with current Medi-Cal enrollee statistics, which are a much bigger piece of the ACA pie in CA. Many of the rest of your previous posts appeared to be an attempt to “sugar coat” the ACA in the eyes of the masses and you wouldn’t be the first one to do that.
No worries. I’m way beyond used to these shenanigans at this late date. I’ll be trying to help in any way I can to get SB-33 signed by Gov Brown and then we won’t be having this discussion anymore because the incentive for CC to keep repeatedly harassing CC enrollees about their incomes and the incentive of Medi-Cal workers to change CC enrollees’ (self-reported) income figures in CALHEERS will largely be gone … especially as it applies to the over-55 crowd.
