Obamacare Architect Warns ‘Kiss Your Insurance Company Good-Bye Forever’
American Overlook ^ | March 10 ,2014 | Robert Winthrop

Posted on 03/10/2014 4:28:35 PM PDT by lbryce

The Obamacare architect is now warning “insurance companies as we know them are about to die,” and confirming the long-standing speculation that President Obama’s Affordable Care Act always aimed to put private health insurance companies out of business.

According to Ezekial Emanuel, the architect of Obamacare, this is a positive change to health coverage. “[Obamacare exchanges] will force insurance companies to evolve or become extinct,” he said.

“Insurance companies as they are now will be going away. Indeed, they are already evolving. For the next few years insurance companies will both continue to provide services to employers and, increasingly, compete against each other in the health insurance exchanges,” Emanuel added.

Emanuel, who’s the brother of Obama’s former chief of staff and current Chicago May Rahm Emanuel, said Americans should be happy that their plans are getting cancelled and/or changing.

“Be prepared to kiss your insurance company good-bye forever,” he said.

I think it's way beyond kissing your insurance company goodbye. More like kiss this broke-broken-donefor-destroyed-by-agents-of-venomous-hatred-and-nihilism country good-bye.

Lenin was right. The insurance companies sold the rope to the Commies.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Obamacare is only valid for states who remain in the union.

Oh....so he’s confirming that his boss is a dirty rotten lying sack of $hit who lied to the entire country over and over.

The bastards should be thrown out of the country for what they’re doing to us.

How ignorant of the insurance companies to sign off on their own death certificate in advance of the ACA passing. Stupid.

One thing that was crystal clear from Emmanuel is the fact that you won’t be keeping your doctor because you won’t normally see a doctor at the clinic to which you have been assigned. You will be seeing a Nurse Practitioner or a Physician’s Assistant. Oh, and the tuition for students going into medicine will be covered by the taxpayers. And the elderly will be triaged to determine if their life is worth the cost to the Govt (TAXPAYERS ACTUALLY) for the care they need. We are soooooo screwed!

This from the same truth teller who told us, “Most of the time, you don’t need a doctor.”

I wouldn’t mind being Dr. Emanuel’s doctor, or at least on his IPAB.

“Lenin was right. The insurance companies sold the rope to the Commies.”

I was thinking of the big German industrial powers that really cleaned up and made a mint from the mid-1930’s till about the middle of World War II.

It took them about 30 years to “clean up” afterwards.

As you say, it took them a while to recover, but it's interesting that many of the German industrialists were able to regain control of their companies after the war.

I haven't studied it, I just see it now and then when I look up something on wikipedia, and I've been kind of surprised by it.

he continuously makes statements about what protocols are unnecessary including avastin which saved my girlfriends life. someone needs to call him on the fact that even tho he is a doctor he’s not any ones real doctor. more like mengela.

I think he's nuts. Take an industry that's not particularly responsive to consumers. (Like health insurance. Or cable TV companies.) Then mandate that everybody buy the product -- health insurance or cable TV.

Even better, limit the industry profits to a percentage of sales. There will be absolutely no incentive to control costs, and a huge incentive to let costs go to the moon. And what little leverage that consumers might have had is gone. But this is just horrible for consumers (patients). NOT for the insurance companies.
