But fear not, the people won't, and St. Jude will become unable to provide cancer treatment for those children who desperately need it.
Oh dear, poor Joan. On top of everything else, now she’s going to get audited by the IRS.
MD Anderson Among Top Hospitals Excluded From Obamacare Coverage [UPDATED]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3100749/posts
Just recently, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was announced as one of an elite group of six cancer research and treatment centers throughout the world who will participate in an ongoing collaborative effort to fast-track the advancement of cancer treatment development as part of a new GlaxoSmithKline initiative. It is just one in a series of many examples of how MD Anderson is the preeminent cancer research and treatment center in the United States, if not the world.
According to a new report in the Financial Times, new healthcare plans are being nudged by the statutes of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, so that they will exclude in-network coverage for patients to visit top cancer hospitals for advanced therapy — including MD Anderson — when the plans go into full effect next year.
In civil law, there’s an area called “tortious interference with business relations.” It means that it is an offence, correctable by a monetary judgement and possibly an injunction to change behavior, to interfere with an existing business relationship.
How does this relate to Obamacare? If you’ve been regularly paying your insurance policy, there’s an implicit relationship between you and the insurance company that extends past the yearly renewal. If you’ve been healthy and paying, you don’t expect the insurance company to kick you out and prevent you from renewing if you get sick sometime during the year. This occasionally does occur, and Obama demagogued these instances for all he could.
What is happening with Obamacare is that he has broken ALL existing ongoing relationships between people and their insurance companies—exactly what he was campaigning against. The people whose policies have been vaporized just when they need it have been victimized by the government, who has broken their existing relationships. The person with cancer in this article is just one of many who have the same problem.
If this event did not occur because of government action—an existing business relation was broken arbitrarily—there’d most likely be a cause of action. But, suing the government is virtually impossible.
Part of the plan, or another unforeseen consequence? You decide.
He should be charged with murder and impeached. His “health” plan is DELIBERATELY murdering Americans.
And by what authority is the President able to alter the rule of law?
The writer, like the President, thinks the law is whatever Obama says it is.
He didn’t really grant a one year extension, that’s up to the states and the individual insurance companies, many of which are unable to reverse the cancellations. He stalled in addressing the issue until past the time when it would have done any good, then passed the buck once he knew it wasn’t going to have any substantive effect.
Don't sign up. Tear up your Medicare card. Get the government out of health care!!
Communism is legitimized mass-murder. Either you overthrow it or it will overthrow you.
