WASHINGTON — Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and when — the sweeping measure will affect them.
Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors' offices, human resources departments and business groups.
"They're saying, 'Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?' " said Carrie McLean, a licensed agent for eHealthInsurance.com. The California-based company sells coverage from 185 health insurance carriers in 50 states.
McLean said the call center had been inundated by uninsured consumers who were hoping that the overhaul would translate into instant, affordable coverage. That widespread misconception may have originated in part from distorted rhetoric about the legislation bubbling up from the hyper-partisan debate about it in Washington and some media outlets, such as when opponents denounced it as socialism.
"We tell them it's not free, that there are going to be things in place that help people who are low-income, but that ultimately most of that is not going to be taking place until 2014," McLean said.
Adults with pre-existing conditions are frustrated to learn that insurers won't have to cover them until 2014 (though those under 18 will be protected in late September); then they become both hopeful and confused upon learning that a federal high-risk pool for them will be established in the next few months. "Health insurance is so confusing. You add this on top of it and it makes it even more confusing," McLean said.

26 year old “children” with pre-existing conditions will be covered in Sept 2010
Senior citizens - will not be covered on pre-existing conditions - until 2014 - if they live that long....
But in 2014 - their disease will have advanced beyond any “hope” - and they will die - on Obamacare
I know all that. What did you think about what I said?
F R E E! I w a n t m i n e NOW! nobama I love you...open your stash. F R E E!

It could be that Hussein Jr. will use the confusion to further take over all possible entities
The left has a huge campaign right now to unionize all nurses
Hussy may think he can destroy physicians practices so much that doctors will flock to becoming government union employees
-
Then again - radicals always believe they can “will” or “intimidate” or “threaten” others into doing what they want them to do
One big VA hospital
M•A•S•H on wheels

Greta says a Muslim man was caught on a flight attempting to light his shoes, underwear, bra, overcoat, socks, etc. - ???
Flight was from Flight 663 from DC to Denver
Muzzie in custody in Denver International Airport now
He was in the bathroom “for an extended period of time”
He had joked about “shoe-bomber”
He is a mid-level diplomat
2 fighter jets intercepted United Flight 633

Diplomatic immunity?
His comments already broke federal statutes
Wonder what she's thinking now
.
LOL!
Yes I recall her
She is thinking now:
“Now I am also going to get free Obamacare from Hussein Junior’s ‘stash’!”
There is a lot of confusion, I’ve already heard many talking about it and relating things they have heard.
I know Drug Reps, Nurses and Hospice workers, so have heard some things.
Yes, I saw a couple of brand new threads earlier about ‘a fire set on a plane’, things they heard from twitter, etc.
[Diplomatic immunity?]
Allows too many crimes to go unpunished.
.
Yup
I myself carefully warned several of my physicians that dark things were coming their way - I also correctly mentioned the 21% cut in physician reimbursements - by now they must be shaking their heads and wondering how they could have been so trusting and ignorant - and how they let Hussy Jr. foist this huge Socialist scameram on them - and on Seniors - whose Medicare is now cut by 50% to fund sidewalks, exercise rooms, other non-medical stuff

FNC said “Mohammed” (yes - that is is first name) from Quatar (or guitar?) said he had “diplomatic immunity” to the US Marshalls at Denver Int. Airport
They are playing the game - with Hussein Junior’s newly relaxed rules
I wonder if he will even have to leave his DC location and go back to Guitar.....
Ahh, I'm glad to hear this latest airplane fire starter is a Mohammed!!
Funny to have it happen on the very day the Obozo’s say ‘Islamic’ wording should be removed from terroristic related things.......

Physicians - like many others - are often incredibly naive and ignorant on politics - and how it will affect them, their futures, their businesses, and their patients -
Last month - in a large city - a liberal attorney was telling me how much she enjoyed Air America
When I told her - and 2 others - that “Air America is gone!” - bankrupt in 3-D - and off the air!
She was astounded -
But then - she was quite amazed at how quickly I read and absorbed a page of complex legal jargon and details on a specific case
“You read all that already?”
“Yup!”
I know - you are a wiz!
The average person does not pay much attention to politics. That may surprise some but I’ve found it to be true.
They skim over articles in the newspaper and only complain when they find their taxes increased on one thing or the other. They complain, grouch, and then go on about their business.
Why? Because things have always been good for us.
Never before have we had so many bad things being done by one man.
Even during the world wars when times were tough, the people were united and managed, because things were bound to get better.
I thought about starting rumor on 04-01-2010 that Obummer was giving out free cash.
All one needed to do was show up at local city hall for 10k handout.
Alas I did not, yours is ever so funnier than my idea.
Thanks for the laugh.
.
Yup!
-
The average citizen does not know or care what is going on in DC until it slaps them in the wallet and their rights and liberties
Then they howl - and go back to sleep - perchance to dream
-
FDR was a radical Socialist leftie - but even FDR was all business when it came to prosecuting WWII against 2 tough foreign enemies
Obama is either:
X a liar
X insane
X ignorant
X or incompetent
I check off all four!
Did he really?!
If so, that is soooo hilarious!
that is HILARIOUS!
How about 40 acres (in the Nevada desert) and a mule?
Laughing to keep from screaming around here! Have a couple more “I figures” in mind:) Will let you know how they turn out.
