If you like your hospital, you might not be able to keep your hospital

Americans who sign up for Obamacare will be getting a big surprise if they expect to access premium health care that may have been previously covered under their personal policies. Most of the top hospitals will accept insurance from just one or two companies operating under Obamacare…

Regulations driven by the Obama White House have indeed made insurance more affordable – if, like Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, you’re looking only at price. But responding to Obamacare caps on premiums, many insurers will, in turn, simply offer top-tier doctors and hospitals far less cash for services rendered…

Illegal aliens will still be able to use whichever hospital suits their fancy.

I like my golf course, I’ll be able to keep my golf course. I already have a tee time, and I’ll be able to keep my tee time...

The hospitals will divide themselves into two types.

One will be for the rich that can pay their own way. The other will be for everyone on collectivised deathcare.

Very much like Canada and the UK.

How about if we don’t like our president we don’t have to keep our president. Period.

The hospitals will divide themselves into two types.

Open or more likely closed.

The smaller community hospitals will have enormous pressure to shut doors.

Obamacare is an unmitigated attack against small town USA and the people who inhabit flyover country.

I have no doubt people who don’t live in urban areas will be forced to travel 4 hours, one way, to get to a hospital if something bad happens.

These liberals trying to run everything, think people and businesses will always act in the same way, even when circumstances change. But instead, they do change with the circumstances of reality and that’s why liberals can never seem to understand why things don’t go the way they planned them when they were all sitting around in the teacher’s lounge in their ivory towers. Stupid putzes.

Unintended consequences of stupid liberal policies.

This was readily apparant way back in the beginning, in 2010, when it was revealed that the bill that could not be read contained a prohibition on Doctor-owned hospitals. All those already open, all those partially built, had to close shop.

If you like your Constitution, you many not be able to keep it.
