My tag line seems appropriate here.
I’ve been ‘talking’ (ok, screaming) at the TV ‘pundits’....bring up the promise that ‘if you like your Dr. you can keep your Dr’. People are upset over losing their insurance, wait ‘til some find that they won’t be able to see their Dr.

A Tale From The Dark Side Of Silicon Valley PowerAgent was supposed to be the Next Big Thing on the Internet. Instead, it’s become a big lawsuit—and a lesson for would-be entrepreneurs in the perils of startups.

Palin was right about death panels.
The entire insurance industry is on the verge of collapse.
And this entire country is not far behind.
We are witnessing a full fledged implementation of the Cloward & Piven strategy using such a huge segment of our economy that the only outcome will be the complete destruction of the insurance industry and a complete government takeover of our health care system. That is a BEST CASE scenario with the ultimate C&P strategy of Fundamentally changing the USA into a country as exactly described in the Communist Manifesto.
The deliberate screw ups on the web site, OUR PRESIDENT LYING and committing FRAUD, are aimed at screwing up the Insurance market such that there will not be enough people who buy into this crap sandwich to allow those businesses to stay in business. Notice one of the largest contributors to high medical costs, lawsuits, are not addressed by CACA © (”Can’t Afford Care Act”)
Once the vast majority of Insurance Companies are pushed into bankruptcy, the Cloward & Piven moment occurs with all the brain dead, low, no information voters will demand Washington to SOMETHING and they will not give a damn what that something means.
Everything which has come out of this administration is directly targeting citizens which politicians feel are only needed to fund their ruling elite lifestyle.
How does this jibe with the common refrain by Obamacare supporters that Obamacare replaces and improves inferior healthcare policies?
Perhaps Ms. Sundby can join a federal lawsuit against Obamacare and get a preliminary injunction...
Take the time to read the comments posted by the readers on the WSJ site. Interesting stuff. I feel there will be an awakening. It will take time but it will come.
The Obamacare death panels will decide that it costs too much to keep you alive. Nothing personal.
If you like your plan you can keep it......just kidding, that just for us in DC
If you like your doctor you can keep him, ooops...lied again, thats us again.
OK, gotta go, golf then a party...good luck to you.
With hospital choices limited by the exchanges, what about emergency care? If you have life threatening major trauma will you be turned away from the area trauma center because they do not participate in your plan? What about high risk births will your plan only allow you a choice of hospitals without a high level NICU. How about burn patients where the nearest burn unit might be in anther state?
Some will have to die. That’s just the way it is. They should accept it and stop bitching. /s
God please help her and all of us.
Ms. Sundby,
Obamacare wants you dead, as quickly as possible. You are what is known in the government racket as a “useless eater”. The fact that you will not be able to get lifesaving treatment is not a bug. It is a feature.
If Obamacare was in charge five years ago, there is no way they would have paid $1.2 Million to keep you alive. They would not have spent one tenth that much. You would have been sent home with pain pills and instructions to take one pill to stop the pain, or take the whole bottle to stop the pain for good.
Well, no use crying over sunk costs. Obamacare will not be able to get that $1.2 Million back. But they will make sure that the money stops, ASAP.
"Take away people's ability to control their medical-coverage choices and they may die. I guess that's a highly effective way to control medical costs. Perhaps that's the point."
Right now, Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel is reading this with a smile on his face, and saying to himself, "Yes, Ms. Sundby, that's exactly the point. Tough (bleep). It might be different if I saw you at the $45,000-a-plate dinners with Harvey Weinstein, John Kerry, Larry David and Scarlett Johansen... but I didn't. You, instead, are a little person- you are simply a cost in a cost/benefit analysis..."
Ms. Sundby’s best bet at this point is to burn her Social Security Card, change her name to something vaguely Hispanic sounding, and apply to Medicare as an indigent.
