LEARN FROM ROMNEYCARE.

After Massachusetts adopted its own skinny version of Obamacare. To meet the law’s costs, insurers HIKED premiums. Massachusetts’s regulators blocked the increases.

RESULT: All the plans reported losses the very next quarter.

So, what did MA do?

Massachusetts regulators went after the underlying source of spending – peoples’ use of medical services.

First and foremost, that meant taking on the providers.

Massachusetts moved to regulate the prices that doctors and hospitals could charge and the kind of services that they could offer.

Rates are rising nationally because, like Massachusetts, Obamacare guarantees more free medical services while doing nothing to make the market for these things more efficient, or competitive. Like Massachusetts, some form of price controls is the next political chapter.

And guess what price control eventually leads to?

If you say — SHORTAGES — go to the head of the class.

That’s what we should expect NATIONALLY when Obamacare fully kicks in.

“Around the country, insurers are fixing to raise rates by double digits.”

Greedy SOB insurance companies. Same goes for those Doctors driving around in their fancy Mercedes. The only way to bring down the costs is to have the Government control the ENTIRE Health Care Industry.

IOW, everythung is going according to plan. Next step, demonize the insurance companies for using “loopholes” to jack up rates, and say they tried to fix the private system, but now they have no choice but government healthcare for everyone.

Whole Foods CEO had it right.

Obamacare is pure fascism.

There’s buzz in Washington that to ease the price hikes, the Obama team may slow down some of the most expensive regulations.

Congress should prevent the president from unilaterally changing anything in the law, and don't allow changes to the law. Only repeal. Let's ram this iceberg full speed ahead.

Well, I expect steep increases, but a 300% increase all at once simply won't work even in Obamaland. It is akin to repealing the law of gravity, companies and individuals cannot pay such an increase. Whatever it is, something else will happen.

This is the next iteration of healthcare reform. Call it Obamacare 2.0. Doctors will become the next bogyman in Washington

Should your congressman make more than your doctor?

Don’t you know yet that Obama has to be impeached and removed from office....or just stand there and watch America go down the tube.
