Insurer: Obamacare Customers Must Break ‘Choice Habit’ (choice is only good for abortion)

Health insurers are now openly admitting that with Obamacare’s reforms, patient choice can no longer be a priority for Americans.

“We have to break people away from the choice habit that everyone has,” Marcus Merz, CEO of Minnesota insurer PreferredOne, told The New York Times Tuesday. “We’re all trying to break away from this fixation on open access and broad networks.”

With boatloads of mandatory services provided each and every customer whether they’re wanted or not, health insurers’ costs are going up. If insurance companies are going to keep prices at a manageable level, narrow networks are one of their only options. So far under the health care law, networks are narrowing while premiums are going up.

While insurance companies are trying to acclimate their customers to narrow networks, the limited choices were clearly not part of the promise President Barack Obama made when selling his health care law.

“It you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period,” Obama promised in 2009 in front of the American Medical Association. “If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away.”

Both of those promises have turned out to be false. Keeping your health care plan went out the window long ago — and now health insurance companies are defending their narrowed networks, which exclude many doctors and providers that customers prefer.

Kiss longevity goodbye. Only the rich will have access to quality health care. As a child of the 60’s I can tell you one large part of the agenda is about population control. That is why birth control and abortions are sacred to the left.

Back in the day overpopulation and the “ unfairness” of our wealth and strength as a nation were themes among those who are making policy today. For those not around back then, the best thing you can do is read the newspapers from that time and the writings of the radicals as well. Bill Ayres is on of many. Tom Hayden is another. A google search Will bring up more names and groups. Compare the wrtings with what Obama set in motion his first day in office.
