I wonder who gets sued on January 3rd when someone cannot afford their injectable clot busting drug, and then goes home and dies.

Will it be me? I’m the little guy on the totem pole in my faux scenario. CVS/Walgreens/Kroger/RiteAid won’t protect me. If I tell someone “Nope, sorry, it’s gonna be $1000” and they do not have $1000, am I the “licensed evil man” who gets the lawsuit?

My guess at this moment in time is yes, and that’s why I’ve decided to not engage in “retail” again until at least mid 2015, when there is some semblence of law and order again. I carry my own malpractice insurance, but it’s puny compared to the big guns. And I have to think of my kids.

The answer is the obvious question about why McCain and Boehner want Amnesty, also.
They are on the wrong side of the future standing by the RATs.

The quagmire of making it all work together has not even been implemented.
All means all the Data coming from all sources converging to make it possible.
Making the site work is small potatoes compared to that.

Then there's a ultimate security threat of the world having every American's information
being sold to every thief in the world market. Maybe that's in the plan too, because it
absolutely will happen. Then the fix will be a national ID, accept for illegals.

Who writes all this crap?

Who takes the time?

We know why.

[ToastedHead]

I guess that’s what they breed the kids to do in college now. Write completely nonsensical (but intimidating) legislation, all in the name of marching towards a utopia where no one ever has to do anything. “Healthcare is a right!”

[CodeJockey]

Any bill brought up by congress needs to be made available on the web for the people to read. Didn’t Obummer say he was going to do just that? We should demand that of any candidate.

Would make for some interesting reading.

TostedHead noob poster. You did good.

It’s the 10-15 million people left scrambling who have an immediate need for some way to protect themselves. There’s not enough time left to put them somewhere. <

If you pushed the button tomorrow -- and all those Obamacare coverage mandates vanished into thin air -- the insurers would be offering those 10-15 million people their old policy (or something akin to it) within hours.

They would jump thru hoops not to lose these customers.

Problem is, of course, nobody's going to push that button...tomorrow.

“TostedHead noob poster. You did good.”

I appreciate you! I am starting to relax. Now I need to post something highly controversial and cause mayhem.

[ToastedHead]

You’re probably right about that. I got my first divorce letter from BCBS, dated Oct 2nd, telling me my policy would no longer exist after Dec 1, 2014. I got a second letter, dated Oct 22nd, reminding me they will have tons of other options and thanking me for my business. It had a feel to it of “we see we’re gonna get screwed because no one we can make money of off is enrolling, so please keep us in mind.”

***I've never posted before, and I can't tell if I am doing it right. Please edit as needed. I'm just throwing this out there because it will really affect me in my line of work. Thanks!***

You did well. I fractured my neck a couple years ago and it took months before corrective surgery was finally performed. I have a clotting disorder which complicated the scheduling and am very familiar with the self-injection of Lovenox over a very extended period of time (it sucked). Out of pocket was high enough without the destructive effects of the "Affordable Care Act."

Please keep pointing out the disaster.

Ha...exactly. A bong is necessary for the navigator position because it can be used as an excuse as to why they can't keep a straight face. It seems like each component can can assign their own out-of-pocket!

[liberalh8ter]

I appreciate your analysis of that clause and it makes sense but while you’re viewing it contractually and it would seem with some inside knowledge of the healthcare system, I view this through the prism of a government that slips seemingly incoherent verbiage into legislation with the sole intent of providing a means to further screw us :-).

... "separate managed behavioral health organization"

We have to build one before we know what it is. /s
