It is a commie lie. Medical bills are NOT the number one cause of bankruptcy:

Merely 129 million eggs that have to broken for Obama’s socialist utopia.
He was considered for a post in the Obama administration, and turned it down because he would have to take a pay cut.
This is disappointing. Sanjay Gupta apparently is a political idiot. But, I will give him respect for the medical role that he played during OIF. While reporting from Iraq, he volunteered to be a doctor at a Medical unit. He performed dozens of operations on troops injured in battle.
I hope that he gets his head out of his rectum one day when it comes to politics.
Gupta IS a tool. A useful one. He’s telegenic, “ethnic,” and “easy” to understand. My husband’s cardiologist office plays a closed circuit TV “health” broadcast (sponsored by cardio drug manufacturers) and Gupta is one of the hosts. He give indepth segments like “eat fruits and vegetables.”
What a microcosm of what passes for “knowledge” today. You (cardiac patient) are too STOOPID to learn actual medical terminology, to be schooled in the drugs they are being prescribed for you to use. Instead, sit here and listen to the nice foreign guy tell you to eat broccoli.
Everything, I am convinced, is low information.
I say throw their talking point right back at them!
when they say “The number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States is medical bills”
you simply reply... well... that may be true... but according to YOU. It only affects a small percentage of Americans, so we shouldn’t care!
Is Chris Mathews still peeing on himself when he hears the word Obamacare?
The "bad" old plans let you see out of network specialists when you get really sick. The new Obamacare plans don't.
The "bad" old plans had high deductibles, like $3,000. The new Obamacare plans have deductibles of $5,000 or $10,000 or $12,000.
The "bad" old plans were expensive, like $1000 for a family of four. The new Obamacare plans for the same family with no coverage for out of network hospitals and doctors costs $1340 per month.
And without out of network coverage bankruptcy will be a much more common situation for families who have someone who is really sick.
It’s the old snake oil salesman’s play on the “fear of loss” being the primary motivator to convince the rubes to buy.
One thing that needs to be shouted from the rooftops:
The people that Obamacare is hurting
are exactly the people that
OBAMA WANTS TO HURT.
People who provide for themselves.
I posted 32 before I read your post.
Snake oil salesman tactics... indeed.
Sanjay doesn’t seem to have a problem with serfdom.
what an idiot
Do they still not get it?
Or are they in on it?

It seems that with the new plans, people can't afford to get sick, not with the high deductibles. I suppose if they want some BC pills, they can get those.
Y’know, through my employer, Aetna healthcare, along with vision, dental, some basic term life, and long term disability, cost me about $920 a month - for my ENTIRE FAMILY.
Thank goodness I get to keep it (so far...).
I am pretty sure I’d be paying more for just myself.
A BIG, BIG, thanks to my employer!
