Obamacare: One blow after another

The Obamacare that consumers will finally be able to sign up for next week is a long way from the health plan President Barack Obama first pitched to the nation.

Millions of low-income Americans won’t receive coverage. Many workers at small businesses won’t get a choice of insurance plans right away. Large employers won’t need to provide insurance for another year. Far more states than expected won’t run their own insurance marketplaces. And a growing number of workers won’t get to keep their employer-provided coverage.

Hitler used the camps; Liberals will use DeathCare, ya think? OBayMe, Pelosi, and Reid would have loved 1930’s Germany, IMO.

Good to see Politico coming out against obamacare........

If you want to make something more expensive simply add government. Works every time.

The inevitable demise of America as we know it is about to accelerate as we speed towards the fiscal cliff.

What is not mentioned here is that Medigap policies are also being severely cut — higher co-pays across the board and limited, or non-existent, coverage.

[ColdOne]

Yes they would have. They will have it when Obamacare fully kicks in.

Yet....

Record numbers of Americans say the government is too powerful

[ScottinVA]

Sorry... wrong thread...

[Walkingfeather]

So what happens when this affordable care act is not signed up by the very poor that it is designed to serve?

[Dysart]

Make the political elite explain why abominablecare isnt suitable for Congress, and the judicial/executive branches.

The goal, the object of it all was and still is,SINGLE PAYER otherwise known as total socialized medicine or total government control of everything you are. Make no mistake about that. It is one of the principal tenets of classical Marxism.

Gee... sounds like this isn’t the same bill that Obama and the Democrat Socialists were selling in ‘09, does it? And the Republicans have done nothing to change it. This is all the fault of an ignorant affirmative-action president and his fellow Leftists from academia, who advise him on matters none of them know anything about because none have had a shred of business experience, the blind leading the blind into economic ruin for the nation.

The Pollutico talks about this as if it is somehow unexpected.

These things are all completely expected and desired. They WANT to destroy the existing medical system, lay it to waste, and then have *some* people clamoring for the government to step into and fill the vacuum they purposefully created.

Unbelievable.

I’m praying real hard that I won’t get sick

One blow after another

Aw, geez, another Reggie Love story.

[I still care]

I was reading some comments after a NYT article on Obamacare. They were almost ALL what a wonderful thing it was. I kept thinking, these people are living in a looneyland bubble. They certainly aren’t talking to doctors.

I spent some time talking to my doctor just the other day, a Jewish man from NY. Obamacare is messing with his practice in upsetting ways. He said the government is sending people who are going through all his records, and spent a full day documenting everything about his business. He said the medical coding changes are unbelievable - and if you don’t get it right, you don’t get paid. http://obamacarewatcher.org/articles/382

He is very concerned about violations of his patient’s privacy, and the lack of patient care when the system gets overloaded by OC. He sees care rationing.

We have already gotten our Obamacare cancellation letters, and we are being shepherded into a new plan that is not nearly and good and more expensive. The letters say right on them it is all due to the ACA, and there is an added ACA fee right on the bill. Reminds me of what I used to read about the mob - it’s extortion - money extracted to run your life. This is why the pubs don’t want to stop this. People are set up to extract that money from you - it’s all a scam to tax and steal more money from the folks.

NYT readers just prove how stupid they are more and more every day, they actually believe the nonsense.

Boy the comment section at the link is fun reading. About three to one against it, Of course the ones whom like it are the burdens of society whom the ACA supposedly helps.
