I feel like screaming: THIS WAS OBVIOUS BEFORE OBAMACARE WAS FINALIZED. All of the problems with ObamaCare were clear from well beforehand. We did not have to pass the piece o poop to know what was in it!

Yeah. America is saving up to have the socialist monkey removed from its collective back.

You can also bet that a ‘peak number of Americans’ are being denied treatment as well. I’m up to four denials for various issues this year. So far. This is the same stuff I never had an issue with pre Romney...Er, I mean Obamacare But of course, Palin was just nuts talking about rationed care and death panels.

My special thanks go out to all those brilliant Freepers that helped the left smear her with their PDS crap.

I've spent a lot of my life living close to medical schools.

Many of the physicians and dentists used to voluntarily treat patients on a sliding income scale, and often for free if you had a small, easily treated issue.

No more.

They all say the same thing now:

“Sign up for ObamaCare.”

People were forced to exchange healthcare for expensive low quality insurance.

...

If they work for the schools most likely they are being ordered by their liberal Democrat party connected bosses to get people to sign up.

That's it exactly. The folks who would have been covered under their low-deductible company policy have lost it, been forced to sign up for expensive high deductible coverage, so no longer have the money they'd otherwise have been able to use to pay for care.

Not the Exempt Gang Members and Gang Lobby.

Result: Deflation, everywhere.

And when they try to force the “checkups”

If I understand right, hospitals used to set aside funds to treat indigents. This became "charitable" contributions against their income

Under ObamaCare, they can not write off these pro bono actions. In fact, they get a penalty per patient served w/o ObamaCare.

So much for caring for the 30,000,000 w/o medical insurance.

The level of arrogance and stupidity demonstrated by the Democrat Party in passing 0bamafraud is incomprehensible. Why is there so much resistance to trashing it? How do you “fix” a 2700 page monstrosity of a bill? Add to that 11,000-plus pages of regulations. It would be a pleasure to force the !$&@’s to literally eat their “work”.

>> One in three Americans has put off seeking medical treatment in 2014 due to high costs, according to Gallup

Not to annoy by repeating earlier posts, but I’m paying $15k/year and everyone in my family could not “keep their doctor”. This situation really sucks, but few get it.
