We encourage people to take advantage of the new ACA. Why? ACA is far from perfect, but can benefit most people because: Some of the benefits of the ACA policy are that insurance companies can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions. It also expands Medicaid in many states so many more disabled, poor and uninsured will get care. ACA provides subsidies to lower the premiums for many. insurance companies are now offering lower prices and better plans than what was previously available (less fake plans) More Americans will be insured under the ACA improving overall care and health. But….. But ACA will not meet the needs of all, non-participating young people, some working poor and those who in states which don’t participate and others who fall through the holes in this system. What it is: The program continues to support the existing system of private insurance companies along with Medicare and Medicaid. It intentionally will not cover everyone. It is a subsidy to the existing insurance companies, to protect their continuing for-profit system. What it is not: It does not cover everyone; it will remain inefficient and will continue the insurance companies’ dominance instead of the public’s needs. What would work best: A national health care system covering everyone, would reduce waste full spending and bureaucracy that currently exists in insurance companies. (Example, it is reported that Medicaid: overhead is less than 7%, Medicare: overhead is less than 2%, Private Insurance Companies: overhead ranges from 20% to 40% with mental health the highest. See the links below for more information about single payer.
Frequently Asked Questions and What does the Affordable Healthcare Act do?
ACA Demographics, Statics and Financial Questions
Obamacare VS Single Payer – Top 10 Things the ACA Gave Us VS the Top 10 We Gave Up Most things have two prices --- the price you pay outright, and the opportunity cost, the negative value of what you gave up in order to do what you did. Were the “opportunity costs of the Affordable Care Act, the options we threw away to get it, actually worth more than the Affordable Care Act itself? What if we had pursued single payer instead? Would Republicans be able to block its implementation, and millions remained uncovered, as is happening now?

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Includes other Issues

PTSD is the general diagnosis for a variety of problems resulting from traumatic levels of stress and often includes other Trauma and Shame issues.

I will be adding to this section shortly.

While usually associated with combat related trauma and stress, there are many contributing factors and related conditions. It is increasingly understood that vulnerability increases with childhood abuse and trauma issues.

An area I will be posting about is what I call Childhood Post Traumatic Shame, or CPTS. This condition is most difficult to discover and treat, and i believe is a pre-existing contributing condition to many other mental and social disorders.
