A whole bunch of new patients, with doctors taking early retirement or going on concierge plans, or just not participating in government health care plans, and... voila, a shortage of doctors.
Exactly what critics of Obamacare said from the beginning would happen.
Well, JennysCool, you presuppose these 0bamunists are swayed by public opinion... They aren’t.
These dhimmicrap socialists don’t give a rip for public opinion, believing instead in their own wisdom and infallibility. They know what is best for you.
The summation of liberalism is this: people are incapable of running their own lives, but a few hundred of the socialists can run the lives of hundreds of millions.
You need merely to submit to your fedgov overlords. And, if you get too sick, or reach an age at which your ‘value’ to society is lessened significantly, then you will be in line for the final pill, per their dictates.
I think you misunderstand. Willie Green on here promoted the bullet train to nowhere. It occurred to me Obamacare is more or less the same thing in health care.
Its working exactly as predicted. No one can say they weren’t warned.
Oh, then, no worries mate. I'm sure the state regulators will be happy to help you, just like the folks at the DMV and IRS.
Judge Roberts was right...... Obamacare is not really insurance. Obamacare is a voluntary tax. If you pay the premiums.
If you don’t pay the tax as a premium, then you must pay the voluntarily assessed tax in the form of a penalty.
Either way you are paying a congressionally mandated tax
Then, unless you are in mortal danger, you must pay for medical care from your own pocket to a provider you did not choose that was forced upon you.
The best description is travesty. The treacherous tyrants that imposed the travesty should be made to pay..... there must be justice for their despotism
There are many (un) intended consequences under Obama care that will start to bubble through the surface.
My Spouse has had 4 Back operations, has titanium rods from her neck down to her tailbone and rods going into her hips.
Her doctor had tried all different medicines, including morphine patches, to help with her incredible pain. # years ago, she stumbled on a medication that has pain relief as a side effect. It worked wonders.
This month we tried to fill her new prescription, only to be told that the medication was refused, because of the new Obama care rules.
I spoke with the pharmacy and was told that our predicament is not isolated. Many prescriptions are affected and many customers are starting to be upset even cursing at the stores. Of course, it is not their fault. It is the ACA that is causing the problem.
Just some food for thought.................
We can pay for the prescription on our own. $ 500.00 PER month. We had it filled for 3 years without a problem. So much for your Doctor to decide what is best for you. I guess beaurocrats know better?
I’m shocked I tell ya! This story will undoubtely be front page reading for all Americans.....uhhhhh... after the election ,..I forgot.
You're lucky. My leftist family members are still defending it. It's the greedy insurance companies, doctors, etc.
The Lady has insurance with a $12,000 deductible. What do you suppose the physician gets for seeing her from the insurance company?
Nuting! She will get billed by the physician and the physician will spend 100 dollars trying to collect a $70 visit fee.
The physician cannot do business like that.
Crappy insurance from the Affordable Crap Act is just that.
If she thinks she has a problem now, wait until she does find a doctor and then is charged up front for her very high deductibles.
So leftists are being smacked with what reasonable folks always knew? That one cannot not have a “right” to medical care because the providers cannot be compelled to deliver their services. No willing doctors = no care. Regardless of a stated right.
But that will be coming. As the brightest students avoid medicine and head instead into finance, we will end up with lower-rung candidates as future physicians. Education costs will continue to escalate and the government will adopt a military academy model for creating doctors. In exchange for future service, student educations will be paid for by your taxes. After graduation, these new docs will be deployed to areas for a stipulated period.
Once government controls the supply of doctors, affirmative action candidates will be inserted to raise the numbers of future doctors who “look like me.”
Misery enjoys company.
Thats what you get for being unpatriotic, weak willed, easily manipulated through fear and the mistaken belief of an utterly worthless political agenda fueled by unicorn farts.
Insert Ha Ha Simpsons kid at anytime.
Yeah we know you liberal daydreamers can read and are reading this, got second thoughts your messiah is selling you down the river so to speak?
Headline: "The ACA Cutting Healthcare Costs As Promised," says White House
Note to self: Please file under either of two categories. 1)Elections have consequences or 2) You get what you vote for. Either category fulfills the hidden Progressive agenda, namely over promise, under deliver and collapse the capitalist system and replace it with a socialist cesspool.
You are correct. No leftist is going to allow any intransigent physician to get in way of their grandiose plans. I expect renewal of licensure to be contingent upon the physician participating in Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. Medical services will be provided with an economic gun pointed at the doc's head.
Your lips to God's ear. I hope that more people like Kirsten Powers( ...is an American political pundit and columnist for USA Today. She began her career as a Democratic Party ...[Wikipedia]) get the short end of Obamacare. I do not wish them ill, but it seems that they have to have a dose reality in order to break away from the party line.
Black market medicine, coming soon.
