The AARP has sold senior citizens out for politics. Somebody needs to tell senior citizens that, under Obamacare, today's Medicare Advantage Plans are tomorrow's Medicaid, with all the stigma, care rationing and medication denial attached.
We must eliminate Obamacare!

As I underatand it, Massachusetts is moving toward price controls for health care. The state is hoping to make inflation pretty much illegal within the health care sector and in this way the government will prevent health care costs from rising.
I'm guessing -- call me crazy! -- that this might inhibit the supply of available services. Not to mention blocking any possible advances within the field.

I understand and support state's decisions to try to limit prescription drug use, up to a point. I don't want to see people get sick for lack of medication, but I see no reason why these "beggars" get to be "choosers" as far as having to accept generic medications. There should probably be an appeal process for the limited number of cases where there is a good reason why a name brand drug must be used. Drugs can be expensive, but so are hospital stays.
I disagree strongly with Alabama's decision to not cover psychiatric drugs - lord help us, we have enough crazy people on the streets as it is! Stopping psychiatric drugs is not only a medical issue, but a public safety one.

These hospitals better stop the wagon because it’s all going to be flushed in November. Actually it’s already having an effect against Obama in the election. As the idiots who voted for him finally get the drift of what they are facing in Odingacare.

You know how libs are always making comments at times when you can’t rebut them politely?
I was telling someone about a family that took bankruptcy over medical bills for their child who was born sickly and required a lot of medical care to keep him alive.
My lib-in-law commented in the other room that it was a great thing we had 0bamacare now so that these situations wouldn’t happen, no one would have to take bankruptcy over medical bills for a child.
Of course, the answer is that the IPAB wouldn’t have approved of treatment for the newborn, so he would have died. Of course, this would have avoided bankruptcy, now, wouldn’t it?

The private sector( walmart) was starting to come out with $4 prescriptions. Now Obamacare will ruin that. Also eventually we won't get to choose which doctor or doctors we see but will have to wait a long time to see a government doctor. This Obamacare is socialism . Government is the ultimate evil as the UN shows.13,000 pages of government regulations alreday out in this Obamacare will ruin it. Government/socialism doesn't work. what are democrats thinking? Do democrats really thin that putting the people who run the government schools in charge of our healthcare is a good thing? yes these idiots do. No putting DMV people in charge of turning out the latest cutting edge treatments and technology is idiotic as socialism doesn't work. Now democrats and all of us are condemned to die under Obama care death panels and to suffer in paing waiting on a wait list. I hate government and I hate Obama and democrats. And everyday democrats are so happy they will now get this free healthcare. morons have destroyed my country and they blame us who are for freedom for the destruction they have done.

a larger number of people will be covered by Medicaid, as the income cap is raised for the programWait a minute - I thought that the current system was "unfair" because there were all these free-loaders who didn't pay for coverage?
Now you tell me ObamaCare is increasing the number of free-loaders??
I'M SHOCKED!
