Just an FYI-my health insurance broker (yeah, whoever thought we’d need a broker to get health insurance??) said that private insurance will be history within the year. I was inquiring about my husband getting private instead of from his employer. She said to hang onto the employer insurance for dear life. NO PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE?? Obama is succeeding, under the radar.

As a former health benefits examiner of Great West Life and Annuity, Portland, Oregon, before the turn of the millenium, I state:

Did you know that:

a doctor is now followed by a billing assistant and a data recorder now. One to make sure the maximum amount is billed under the new classifications and one to record all the information in the new mandatory electronic records system?

That one type of Staph infection can be charged at a mere $3,000 to $5,000 to treat and another costs more than $20,000? That there are monitors in the hospital system that look over the doctors records to correct and encourage them to charge for the more expensive disease category?

What? Compelled contracts don’t work? A command economy doesn’t work?

Unheard of!

Yes, am aware of healthcare insurance executives who visited with this administration many times during early 2009 to actually write the ACA laws that are killing us.
Also, don’t forget the AMA had an early role in crafting Obolacare.
Everything has become Much worse for most people due to government intervention!

It was all deliberate.

At one time there was tremendous growth in local mutual insurance companies. I wonder what it would take to recreate that ..................

X million people are "covered" but can't get any service. It is catastrophic coverage for limited use at prices that used to be total coverage and $500 deductible. When your dollars have to pay for insane amounts of paperwork and thus more clerks than doctors and more bureaucrats than both, and pay for the 40% or whatever of the population that gets subsidized, of course it prices the middle class out of the market. They can get covered but they can't get treatment. After they pay the huge "premiums" they have to scrape to get simple diseases treated.

Stay out of Obamacare. Arrange your IRS withholding so that you owe IRS a hundred bucks in April and get educated about offshore clinics. They are much cheaper for what is or will soon will be higher quality and more timely service on major treatments. Onshore you can get one of the Christian or Ethical cost sharing plans. They are priced properly and you are not paying hordes of drones and parasites and they cut off the obamacare sharks from your bank account.
