My brother in law is a doctor and owns a chain of urgent care clinics and since obamacare his business is booming. No one can afford to go to their doctor or hospital with their deductibles. So people with normal run of the mill ailments come to an urgent care, pay $50 and walk out treated or with a prescription. He takes no insurance whatsoever but will give you paperwork to file with your own insurance company if you desire to keep costs down.
Since he runs his own company he has to buy his own insurance and for his family he pays $700+ a month premiums and has a $7000 deductible for each family member. He can afford it but essentially unless there is a major medical issue he would be out over $15K before his insurance pays one cent for one family member.
The only conclusion an honest person can reach is that our government is a criminal enterprise.
It takes the risk analysis out and forces insurance to cover everyone for everything whether they need it or not. Forcing single males and elderly people to pay for maternity care and birth control they have no risk of ever using. HIV care is expensive but everyone has to pay for coverage whether we live a lifestyle that puts us at risk of contracting it or not.
I’m in the same boat. It’s cheaper to pay cash.
Basic income distribution.
If you have Medicaid then taxpayers are paying for it. I don’t know your circumstances so I’m not insulting you but you need to realize not everyone that works can get this “free” insurance.
So the liberal doctor went out of business?
Obvious to a few freepers but not enough of us. I remember when freepers just knew that Roberts would save us from this travesty and I was telling them that he would not because the GOP, at least the ones that counted, was in favor of it all along.
The problem is that almost everyone believes the kabuki theater.
The purpose of the kabuki theater is to keep those Americans who care pacified as much as possible in spite of the constant advancement of the government agenda.
Basically, the kabuki theater makes Americans think that their votes matters when their vote clearly does not matter at all.
Head they win, tails we lose.
Hey it was just the same people that introduced guaranteed college loans so that everyone could get an education. Cost went up and quality went down. Who could have foreseen that?
Practically impossible to have enough out of pocket medical expense to be able to deduct it. I live in Oregon and they allow 100% deductible on their state tax, Federal not so much. Remember before Ronald Reagan lowered taxes all that was deductible, as was all interest paid including credit cards. Rates went down but deductions disappeared. Clinton came along and retirement income became taxable including SS.
No.
The good doctor retired, like so many did!
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

Another blind side of Obozo care is if you need a medical device like for sleep apnea. The providers charge an arm and a leg. So you are better off finding a provider with good prices on the equipment/gear and writing the costs off with your taxes.
You are better off not going into one of those sleep clinics, I never met anyone that went into one that didn't come out with a hose attached to them. I will take my chances.
“A day late and a dollar short”
In this case... Hundreds of days late and billions of dollars short.
I want no part of obamacare no matter what hoops it is possible to jump through.
That works till they change the rules and can collect using any means avaliable. Itll happen when to many owe to much. They will blame the non payers for the budget ahortfall when it starts falling apart.
Remember John Roberts opinion?
>They’ll probably do the usual and ding peoples’ Social Security - going back YEARS, and adding interest & penalties.
Yeah! I mean, it’s not like SS is insolvent. Wait, what? $20T+ deficit and $120T+ in unfunded liabilities?
Never mind...
