Out of health-care furor, satisfaction in New England
Boston Globe ^ | Jan 26, 2014 | Chelsea Conaboy

The federal overhaul has had a bumpy start, but with insurance payments they can handle, many have stopped gambling on their future

Lost amid all the fury, however, have been the success stories.

KEYWORDS: healthcare; incomeredistribution; medicalcare; obamacare; obamacareanecdotes; romneycare; romneycare4all; romneycare4you; socializedmedicine
You have to read the article...

One -- I highly doubt some of the so-called facts they are citing.

Two -- If these are the best success stories they could come up with, Obamacare is doomed and the sooner it's buried, the better.

Bottom line -- take more away from some, to give it to others, income redistribution, by any other name...

For a preview of Obamacare, the Canadian socialized medicine system, where the wait time for cataract surgery went from “only” 5 months to nearly a year — see article:

Funding cuts hurt cataract wait time

As you say, it was designed to reward friends and punish enemies.

Wait until politically connected people and groups get preferential treatment. Those in power will decide the fates of individuals and will dole out benefits, tax breaks, etc. as they see fit.

The government will have something that everyone needs and one better not speak negatively of “big brother.”

That is the true power of Obamacare.

It’s disgusting to see these media types prostituting themselves in such an obvious way. When the totalitarian state gains full control, these cowards will be the first to go. I’ll bet the next “story” will be written by a Leftist computer algorithm.

"Obamacare is doomed and the sooner it's buried, the better."

The only way that obamacare will be doomed is if the tea party gains control of congress- not the GOPErs, the Tea Party.

There is one guy who is saving money on 0bamacare over what he had before. Since signing up he has not been billed anything on his higher premium by the carrier that he chose and has been turned away by Doctors when he tries to use his useless card. So he is saving a lot of money. I’m sure this is just one of the many success stories we will hear about.

My favorite is the part time “grant writer” who cant’t understand the website. What none of these people seems to even realize is that they are feeding off the public trough.

Holy mackerel. The Boston Globe is hoping that everybody is as stupid as they wish.

Allison Wood, a student, used to spend $500 a month for health insurance. Now, with Obamacare, she pays nothing. And the Boston Globe says that, premium payments, such as those from Allison Wood, “are expected to help cover the cost of caring for sicker people, including those previously denied coverage.” That is completely illogical. How can Zero, like, in nothing, help to pay the cost of others’ healthcare benefits?

Allison will not be contributing a single penny to Obamacare. Then, there are the others who are being subsidized in order to get healthcare. Again, subsidizing anyone is not the same as contribution to pay for others’ healthcare.

Then, the majority of those enrolling are going for Medicaid, which means that, those people won’t be contributing anything to help the others’ that can’t pay for their Obamacare health plan.

What the Boston Globe is reporting, is a complete debacle, and it’s amazing that they even bothered to report the real story, while spinning the debacle as “success stories”.

Are the Boston Globe people that stupid? Yeah, I know; the answer is self-evident.

They aren’t that stupid, but their readers are. I live among them.

"I highly doubt some of the so-called facts they are citing.

It is not Izvestia's function to find or "cite" facts...For over 80-years it has been a stalwart defender of communism, through fact-synthesis or historical revisionism, any where/any time communism rears it's venomous head.
