Wouldn’t be something if so much hell is created in the first few months that they are forced to repeal odorkocare. Or, to save face, have it speeded to the supreme court to be declared unconstitutional.

"Ban Medicare recipients from receiving follow-up care within 30 days of their initial treatment as part of government-run healthcare."

Wait until people start hearing about this.

One elderly woman was sent home from the emergency room after the bare minimum of treatment with a fever of 103 degrees. When she was forced to return to the emergency room within 24 hours, due to the fact that she was not adequately treated the first time, the doctor informed her they could not give her care because it was 'too soon after her initial treatment.'

Pitchforks. Torches. Tar. Feathers.

A few years ago, during my chemo, I had a medi-port implanted. It got infected [despite me keeping it clean]. Doc admitted me to hospital - just in time after 3 days.

If it happened now, I’d have to wait 30 days - and be planted in the ground after two weeks.

A critical negative impact not mentioned in the article is acceleration of layoffs. For the past two days, business owners having been calling in to a local afternoon radio show I listen to and discussing why they started laying off people in droves as of Monday morning. The increased costs from Obamacare pushed them over the edge. It’s no longer profitable for them to retain many of their employees. Let’s see how bad this gets in another three to six months. Current employment numbers might look like the good old days compared to what’s coming soon.

This cruel mess is going to get very ugly, very quickly.

Democrats... damn those heartless bastards.

And what, precisely, was the 'fix' for that cost run-up? Ban Medicare recipients from receiving follow-up care within 30 days of their initial treatment as part of government-run healthcare.

Typical government inefficiency. They completely missed the obvious. They could save a lot more money if they just denied care altogether.

I see nothing in these horror stories about abortion.

In other words: THESE horrors are what the Catholic bishops were in FAVOR of.

But if the elderly lady in the story had been an illegal alien, they would have had to treat her.
This is un-effin’ believable! It’s a gittin’ close to that time, folks!

HAppening at My Company also.

Our CEO/Owner sent out an email to all employees detailing the healthcare policy and costs associated with it.

We currently have what team Obama calls a “Cadillac” policy — our company provides us Full Family coverage with no deduction from our pay. This policy gives us 100% on just about everything. We have a $10 co-pay and zero deducible. There is no co-pay for prescriptions.

In his letter he let all the employees know the true cost of this wonderful benefit - $1900 per employee per month. He then said that he expects that premium to double when it comes up for renewal. At that point he will have no choice but to drop healthcare coverage for all employees.

He then outlined why he would make that choice:
He can pay upwards of $3000+ a month per employee or he can pay the fine that Obamacare prescribes (up to $3000 per year)

We have 120 employees, so $360,000 a year or $3000 a year. Hmmm That’s a no brainer.

Now, the unintended consequence of Obamacare - not only do we lose our insurance coverage, but BC/BS loses what is currently about $225,000 a year in business (going up to $360,000 or more under obamacare).

I had minor outpatient surgery yesterday. I have to return in two weeks for removal of stitches and examination for any signs of infection or improper healing.

Does this new HellCare revelation mean that my second procedure which is less than 30 days after will not be covered by Medicare?
