I find it odd that I would even debate someone on the "good" that Obama has done lol. That being said, when is the last time you actually applied for a mortgage? I deny people on a daily...yes daily basis. The idea behind an ARM, Interest Only, ect...is not in itself a "bad idea" or "predatory" in any way. If i have a borrower looking to purchase a home but flip it in the next 2-5 years...why would he/she not want an ARM/Interest only loan? Let's call it what it really is...the 90's and 00's were an era of "free money". Sure the lobbyists pushed regulation changes...but EVERYBODY was on board. The people all wanted a piece of the "American Dream" and everybody else wanted a piece of the pie. There was money to be made...great deals of money. I hear the stories from loan officers all the time. They made a killing. The true problem was that they were giving away money...100% financing with 80/20 loans, stated income/assets, ect...Yeah the big banks screwed everyone...and better yet...after the bailout and after the "recovery" the banks still denied people the ability to refinance since there was no equity in the home...enter Obama and the HARP program. No matter which way you try to swing it...it was a good thing he did.
It is not a bandaid. If you are not currently selling mortgages or in the business...then you don't know what you are talking about. Underwriting guidelines are extremely strict and there are MANY in place that are there to avoid another bubble like the last one. I could write books about all the measures put into place to avoid it.

Refied on my house 2 years ago.
About 4 months ago I did a preapproval and was approved for 330k mortgage from BoA, a little less from Wells Fargo and USAA. Here's the thing though, there is no possible way I could actually pay a 330k mortgage on my measly 75k a year income and still afford things like food and electricity. If thats the idea of tight standards, I guess we should be lucky we got off as easy as we did with foreclosures because banks must have been bending over backwards to top the others approval amount. Maybe I could have gotten 1mil back then.
Obama did his "Mission Accomplished" speech today. Not that he'll ever to be held accountable.
7.1 million. Bwhaahhahahahahahaha
Magic. Funny how they couldn't produce numbers for months and then suddenly as the deadline arrives they have up to the minute numbers.
How many of those people have A) actually paid for coverage and B) were previously uninsured, cause that's what 0care was all about right? Helping all those uninsured folk get covered? Oh, and by uninsured I mean actually uninsured not "let's count the people who's plan was cancelled because of 0care and then signed up as people who were uninsured."
I'm just pissed of I can't pay more or get dropped altogether because I have a pre-existing condition. Thanks Obama.
Let's vote Obama out in 2016 so we can repeal obummercare and I can pay more again. I'm just tired of having insurance.
Also "can't pay more"... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOL
I couldn't, yet still had to.
Give it a few more years, you'll catch up with me. I've been on Obamacare for four years
So much win in this single post I just dont know where to begin.
1. Insurance to cover a pre-existing condition isnt insurance, its sticking someone else with the bills.
2. Repeal Obamacare? Why bother? Just exempt everyone from it through executive order. No reason to bother Congress with something so trivial.
3. A lot of people really liked their insurance until Obamacare came around. 60y/o women with an hysterectomy really appreciate having access to prenatal care now though.
Lets be real though. Obamacare has several conditions that really needed to be addressed. The problem is that they pretty much ignore most of those points and instead center their arguments on lies. No one in their right mind (even you Blank) EVER thought Obamacare would reduce costs or even slow the rise in costs. How do I know this? because there is absolutely nothing in the bill that would do that.
Instead of focusing on the small details lets look at the big picture, the cost of health insurance to the consumer. I cant think of a single reason Obamacare would bring down the retail cost. I can think of 1 MAJOR reason for the cost of health care to rise though. Insurers want to see profits at a certain level. Because of the floor on the amount spent on actual health care, insurers will not be able to keep their present margins. To keep profits where they want with a smaller margin simply means raising the cost of doing business. For example, insurer currently profits 25% of your $200 premium, or $50. Now they have to lower that amount to 20% of your premium. What makes more sense for a business? Lowering their overall profits, or adjusting prices to get to their target profit? So, instead of paying $200 a month in premiums, insurers are making the exact same amount of money with the lower margin by simply jacking up the rates to $250 a month.
There is no perfect way to make sure the borrowers will pay their mortgages. At some point in time, doesn't the consumer have some sort of responsibility? Underwriting standards allow 31% of gross income to be used as a total housing payment including Principle/Interest/Taxes/Insurance and mortgage insurance.In your case for example, you have $6250 a month of qualifying income, your total payment could not exceed $1937.50 a month. In addition to that, your total monthly debt obligations can not exceed 43% of your total income or $2687.50. That would leave you with $3562.50 left over for other things...of course that is gross income not net.If they had to go based off of net income minus all " living expenses" then no body in America would be a home owner except for the elite. The standards are tight enough ( especially with new QM and ATR regulations )to keep banks from writing bad loans. There is a nice middle ground for the availability of credit and responsible origination.

2 things patently wrong with your statement, and im sure you know this.
1) Premiums have risen, not fallen, this is not even a debate.
2) People who didnt have insurance, still dont, because they dont need to pay for it. Obama quoted 40 million without insurance, to date, 7 million have "SIGNED UP" which really means they made a login, it doesnt mean they PURCHASED insurance. The real numbers are estimated to be less than 3 million.
3/40 million covered, have continually not met their own imposed quotas, premiums rising.
Welcome to Obamacare. Everything it was designed to do, its not (its not controlling cost and its not increasing access)

Ive said this for 5 years, healthcare i a FOR PROFIT system. Blank doesnt understand this, the left doesnt understand this, you are making sense, they dont understand that either.
NOPE PREMIUMS ARE FALLING
Premiums rising faster than eight years before Obamacare | The Daily Caller
49-State Analysis: Obamacare To Increase Individual-Market Premiums By Average Of 41% - Forbes
EVEN FUCKING SEBELIUS IS SAYING IT
Premiums will rise in 2015, says Sebelius | TheHill
Blank never showed is so called "premiums are down" because its not true, or, hes getting a subsidy because he doesnt make enough money. People that are getting insurance because "they cant afford it" are getting it because of the subsidy which is a dirty word for OTHER PEOPLES TAX MONEY.Premiums will rise in 2015 under ObamaCare, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Wednesday.
“I think premiums are likely to go up, but go up at a smaller pace than what we’ve seen since 2010,” Sebelius said in response to a question from Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.).
They havent solved anything, they have made it worse, the old system was FAR better. If you wanted insurance you got it, you went out and paid for it. and it was CHEAPER.
NOW, you MUST have insruance, it COSTS MORE, and if you cant afford it you get FINED if you dont purchase it

Then you're doing it wrong. I know someone that lives on $1800 in expenses (mortgage, food, bills etc), and makes barely $2500 a month. He is swinging it and will have his home paid off in 10 years (he did a 15 yr loan). His loan was for 160K btw.... and he makes a measly 30K a year...

Has nothing to do with my statement, and may be true for some people. Not all cases are the same. You don't have to "debate it" if you don't want to. Lol
Sounds like you, like a lot of others may be unclear on what ACA was designed to do. And it most assuredly has increased access. Thats undebatable.Welcome to Obamacare. Everything it was designed to do, its not (its not controlling cost and its not increasing access)
Guess that makes 0 things patently wrong with my statement.
I hear ya man
We had a good thing going with all that free health care. Up until Obama, when someone came into an ER and couldn't afford the care the hospitals were federally mandated to provide to patients by my hero Pres Reagan, it was just miracled into being free. All the work and time the doctors put in to treating people? Free. All the test and diagnostics? No charge....Medications? Supply-side Jesus paid for it.
Does Obama think he is God or something???
This is just laughable, you act like if you surveyed 100 people and 1 person says "my premiums lowered" he becomes the poster child for dismissing all other 99 people. its just dumb. Its not even worth arguing.
The facts are pretty clear , i posted several articles, premiums are rising, not lowering. Obama specifcally promised premiums would lower. They arent. Not even close
Troll postSounds like you, like a lot of others may be unclear on what ACA was designed to do. And it most assuredly has increased access. Thats undebatable.

6 million cancellations=Increased access, only in a liberals world.

Written by the OBAMA LOVING Washington Post
RIGHT LEANING THE BLAZEHealth policy experts said that the long-term significance of the high enrollment numbers for this first year of insurance will take time to clarify. “There is still a lot of haze around this,” said Jonathan Oberlander, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who studies health-care politics.
Oberlander and others noted that the number of people who have gotten coverage varies significantly by state. In addition, uncertainty lingers about how many people who have signed up have actually begun to pay for their new health plans, how many will continue to pay for them, and how many of the enrollees had no insurance before.
Then thisAs the White House and news headlines celebrate Obamacare “enrollment” hitting the 7 million mark, a secretive study from the RAND Corporation reportedly suggests as few as 858,000 previously insured Americans have actually paid for their new policies.
President Barack Obama announced an “enrollment” total of 7,041,000 on Tuesday during a press conference, heralding it as proof that the Affordable Care Act is successful and here to stay.
The White House has not provided answers to key questions about the numbers, including how many enrollees were previously insured, how many Americans have actually paid their first month’s premium or how many Americans have seen their costs increase.

Let's pretend Blank's house burned to the ground, thankfully no one was hurt. First Blank called the Obama for a bail-out, but Obama was too busy playing golf to take the call. So Blank dials up Allstate insurance...
"Thank you for calling Allstate Insurance where you are always in good hands"
Blank responds "I need to get fire insurance for my house, it just burned down."
"It... it... it has all ready burned down sir, Did I hear you right?" Customer service asks
"That is correct, why else would I be calling?" Blank says indignantly.
"We can't insure you for damages that have already happened" she timidly says.
"Why not" Blank asks "it's not fair to deny coverage for a preexisting condition".
"Sir" she replies, her voice a little firmer after the realization she's not talking to a rational person "I'm not sure you understand how insurance works"...
6 million policies cancelled because of ACA , how does that equate to people having MORE ACCESS?
Less people have insurance= more people have insurance? Is that what you are arguing?
EVEN if we took all the "7.1 million signups" which NO ONE believes is even close to being true, you would be 1.1 million + in new customers who are without a doubt, now paying MORE for insurance.
Problem is, its not 7.1 million, its more like 1 million.
The law has had a negative effect

If people have more access, then why is Obama delaying the mandates? why is he hiring LBJ and Magic to push the ACA if its so much better, why arent people RUNNING to sign up?
Enterprise Data Resources- Ecommerce Project Manager

Before Obamacare... 43 million uninsured.
After Obamacare... 47 million uninsured.
Let's assume the 7.1 million number is even correct, IT'S THE LAW. YOU HAVE TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE... AND STILL ONLY 7.1 SIGNED UP. SUCCESS BRO! ONLY LESS THAN 50-SOMETHING MILLION TO GO!
I feel like you don't understand how analogies work.
A person getting insured with a pre-existing condition would be like buying insurance for a house that's in the middle of a flood plain. Your analogy is like buying health insurance after the user is already dead. Death is not a pre-existing condition.
Because they were not compliant with new ACA guidelines. Some of whom were automatically enrolled in compliant plans. Let's keep it honest, shall we.
More people can get insurance. That's what access means.Less people have insurance= more people have insurance? Is that what you are arguing?
People have always been able to get insurance.
If you took away 6 million peoples cars because for some reason they didn't meet some new arbitrary gov't standard and then set up a gov't website to help them buy a new more expensive car with features they don't want do they now have more access to transportation than before?
4 years or nearly constant headlines and people still don't know about it? Do we really want to extend the lives of those people?
As to your point on access, show me where this increased access is documented. They may have this fancy new medicaid policy, but can they find a doctor to see them? I've seen stories from across the country of people with medicaid policies not being able to find a local doctor that would accept new patients.
Why is it so hard to find a doctor? - Magazine - The Boston Globe
There is 1 article that points out many of the problems that were made worse by ACA, not better. Let's see if you can find the flaw with one of the proposed fixes.
My disabled mom's previous doctor stopped taking medicaid and told her cash only. He wouldnt even refill her perscription. Now she cant find a dr who will take new patients and hasnt been able to get RA medicine for going on 2 months now. On the days when she cant walk, she has to go to the ER for care.
The funny thing about health insurance is that it doesnt cure anything.... you need a dr for that. Good luck if youre on medicaid
