Declare again that it will cover EVERYBODY.
Doctors who graduated medical school after 1995 are bogus and only know how to dispense pills for Big Pharma and assist in the ongoing genocide. The majority of good physicians called it quits when Zero instituted the WEF Cabal’s DeathCare.
We need to drive a stake into this stuff that doesn’t work. Make them get butt hurt. Hillary started it under BJ and they succeeded 16 years later while we meekly counted on the voters to electoral react-gave us the house both times.
Grab the bull by the horns people. Promise a system that serves everyone as not everyone is covered now.
Big government ruins everything.
harris/walz 2024! Help Us Become Authoritarian (HUBA)
A self employed friend of mine who lives in California came down with Covid last year, and she stopped paying into ObamaScamOcare because she couldn’t afford it. So anyway to make a long story short, the Covid was severe and led to other problems, a hospital stay and when it was all over they slapped her with a bill for $83,000 bucks. HELLO! Meanwhile they give free healthcare to criminal foreign invaders.
I recently had my yearly check up. It didn’t go well. My first lab appointment was washed out by the hurricane. A few days later the lab called and asked if I could come in for the test. I said I just had a big Waffle House breakfast, no fasting. They said come anyway. The blood and urine test results were awful. So my doctor typed and typed into my Obamacare chart. The only take away from this year’s checkup is that the Waffle House breakfast is bad for you.
They substitute PAs and charge you the same as a doctor
Obamacare is basically a payment system for care.
It does specify some care items, such as no co-pay vaccines and colonoscopies.
My docs spend most of our visits typing on the damned computer.
Getting an appt to meet a replacement doc takes six months.
That said, I’ve had two hospital visits in the past month and both were fantastic. One required an overnight stay and the other was in and out. Quick triage and immediate treatment with very good people and very attentive service.
A lot of “very sick people” have some very common ailments.
It doesn’t take ten years of post-high school education to learn how to treat them.
The two main questions at your “Annual Wellness” exam.
Are you suicidal?
(Only when I have to answer these stupid questions.)
“Do you want some shots?”
(No.)
Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
Those at risk are eligible for a one-time abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound. You’ll need a referral from your doctor.
Alcohol misuse screening and counseling
Your doctor will do an annual alcohol misuse screening during your appointment. If the doctor determines you’re misusing alcohol, you qualify for up to four brief counseling sessions each year. You don’t need to show signs or symptoms to be eligible for screening.
Cardiovascular disease screenings
You’ll have a yearly cardiovascular disease risk reduction visit with your Primary Care Provider. Then every five years, your doctor can request blood work to test your cholesterol, lipid, and triglyceride levels.
Depression screening
A depression screening is standard and occurs once per year when you visit the primary healthcare provider.
Diabetes screening
Those that have specific risk factors will receive testing for diabetes.
Glaucoma screening
High-risk people are eligible for glaucoma screening once every 12 months. A licensed eye doctor must perform or supervise the service.
[I should get around to that one.]
[Thirty plus years of avoiding greedy, pill-crazed doctors is habit-forming.]

Just some free stuff you can get if you’re “underprivileged”:
Members of Congress don’t know much, but they can count votes like a pimp in a whorehouse can count money.
Yes, the voters “hate Obamacare and want it repealed”. That is absolutely true.
It’s also true that they want the ability to buy insurance for pre-existing conditions, want insurance companies to be forbidden to cancel policies for non-payment, want zero payment at the point of service, want their adult children who are shooting meth in a dive in Oakland to stay covered, want their States to expand Medicaid without taxes going up, and so on.
In other words, the only two things they hate about Obamacare are paying for it, and the name.
Republicans in Congress understand this perfectly well, which is why they have no plan to repeal it.
And, not coincidentally, Obamacare (and Romneycare) were the culmination of fifty years of “reform”, all of which had the purpose of destroying the private sector or making it impossible for the private sector to function, except for boob jobs and a few other things. And, by 2009, the mission was largely accomplished.
Obamacare was merely a temporary mop-up operation, until full nationalization was possible.
And now, it is.
I have noticed the major decay of US healthcare system since Obamacare kicked in.
There used to be no waiting lines for appointment or procedure. Now, you can wait, even for half a year quite often.
I have noticed, before Obamacare, my family in Massachusetts were waiting for four months for CANCER surgery, while we were still OK, now we have similar problems!
The main reason is not because Obamacare itself, which is actually quite expensive, but the huge enrolment in Medicaid, which was part of the whole deal!
Free Medicaid causes people to go visit doctors all the time, with banal problems, crowding the waiting rooms!
They often have the time to sit in the waiting rooms too!
That is actually typical problem with “free” healthcare everywhere!
There is just not enough personnel in the world to satisfy the huge demand it creates.
So we now have a shortage, and we will have it forever unless they stop this madness!
