It’s horrible. As Twitchy reported, citizens are feeling the pain of Obamacare as they start filing their tax returns. The New York Times mysteriously used “health care act” in its headline. Weird, huh? We wonder why it chose not to use “Obamacare” or “Affordable Care Act.” Oh, that’s right. This is why; Check out just how “affordable” it is:
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
There should be a note on there saying that if you think the prices are unreasonable, then you are a racist.
Healthcare?
Their medical records are PUBLIC across state
and country lines, FOR SALE ...
but there are few docs, longer waits,
astronomically higher copays,
AND some previous $30 drugs are now $1800.
Has the SHTF? Not yet.
You people need to move on. It’s settled law and all that. THEY DON”T CARE!
And that’s the truth. lol
Frightening stuff.
On my last employer plan (last year) I did a search for primary care doctors within my network within 5 miles. Nothing. Ten miles? Nothing. Fifteen miles? One, but when I called, found out that he has “retired” early.
And I live in a very large metropolitan area.
Not surprisingly, most of the doctors on the network were practicing in those storefront emergency care sweat shops. No, thank you.
In 2018, the Cadillac 40% tax applies to plans that are over 10,200 for Individual and 27,500 for family.
If these are individual plans, they are all already over that threshold. - even with the subsidy.
Waking people up to the true cost of real healthcare - PLUS the weird stuff that Ocare insists is covered for everyone PLUS the insurance companies’ admin costs PLUS their profit PLUS the government’s costs PLUS their pension costs. Welcome to the socialist utopia.
Pelosi is, of course, a liar. She remembers because everyone keeps reminding her.
Where is the affordable part.Where did we get the idea that healthcare is a freebie.?
I (and my wife), oldsters who do a fair amount of doc visits, aren’t seeing longer waits at all.
As a matter of fact, business is down.
My theory is that the big deductibles are keeping people away.
I had a prescription that was $12 that is now $184 dollars.
No can afford.
And don’t forget these exorbitant pricees are only for INSURANCE only
You pay this whether you go see a doctor or not
I noticed years ago (after the Greater Depression started) that two different dentists suddenly had a lot more availability; expect our average lifespan to drop a bit as health care (not health INSURANCE, which is required by law) becomes the realm of the wealthy and the gibsmedats, with nothing for those in between.
I recently had to fill a $3500 antibiotic prescription....2 weeks supply (14 pills, one per day). These outrages will continue, so brace yourselves, folks.
Even on the Fox business shows, the pundits are saying the economy is "definitely on the upswing".
Liars !
I'm sure the economy is pretty good for most media folks living and working in the NYC/DC financial and political beltway where salaries and businesses prosper in large part from the run-away spending involving government activities and contracts.....funded by we, the taxpayers, of course.
In fly-over country, a different kind of belt is strangling small businesses, entrepeneurs and middle-class families.
I visited our mall yesterday.....JCPenney shuttered, Macy's just now closed and empty except for card tables at the entrance with a small amount of left-over merchandise at 60-80% off. Dillard's department store's whole top floor empty of customers...and clerks. No customers in Sears except for tools and appliance areas. Sears will be next to go. Radio Shack gone, Best Buy still hanging on. Once-teeming parking areas now sparsely-filled with cars.
Nothing much left in the mall but teeny-bopper stores (clothing, cheap costume jewelry...and I actually saw a large store now dealing in comic books!).....and a fast-food court.
This is the real world, a world the media chooses not to see or report on.
As you drive down main streets and highways, our county is littered with the corpses of empty, dead stores, little specialty shops and small restaurants, the windows covered with ugly, stark sheets of thin wood.....and whole strip malls are closed or on life support.
Adjoining counties ditto.
Television news, because of what it's NOT reporting, is the great pacifier...and the populace as a whole is stupidly, deliberately or dangerously not noticing what's happening all around it. My female neighbors of all ages just CAN'T WAIT for Hillary to become president. She is the Phoenix that will be raising us all from the ashes (like Obama is doing at the moment).
The TV personage who is providing the most illuminating information on TV today is Jesse Watters' show, the inquiring reporter guy, where we find out every single week that the man on the street today does not know who the two opposing sides in the Civil War were, what country we were fighting in the Revolutionary War.....and the names of his own senator, congressman or governor.

Awful,just awful.

Just like the the unborn and the unarmed, sick people cannot fight back.
