or limit participation to just the employee.
They need to keep wrapping this issue around the necks of every democrat. Every time his excellency speaks, someone must interrupt him with a question: what about keeping our doctors and where is that $2500 we are saving.
In an ideal world, Kid Carney would be blasted off the podium every day with such a question too.
Where is that little Mexican Bandito saying, “Doctors, we don’t need no stinkin’ doctors!”?
Damn scam artist. Notice how he stutters when he tells the worst ones?
This liar needed every Democrat vote in the Senate to pass this destructive bill, so every Democrat Senator was the deciding vote in causing the suffering of American families. Nice try, Manchin, Landrieu, Hagen, Begich, who are trying to tun away from their support for ObamaCare by promising to “fix” it. There is no “fixing” this debacle.
I pay $601 p/m for catastrophic with a $5,000 deductible for all 4 family members. We are in good heath and I used to be able to get us into another “health pool” every 3 or 4 years for a significant reduction. Not any more.
I’ve talked with several companies that claim they can beat my current payment. They’ve all said “stay where you are. We can’t help you”. “Your insurance will likely go a lot higher next year”.
We live(d) in a country where anything was possible through good credit, good health, good reputation. That’s not happening anymore.
Oh, I am going to keep whatever the Hell I want to keep, runt.
You ain’t the boss of me.
My employer ended our plan, put us into individual policies, much higher premiums, higher copays and deductibles, and, oh, yeah, I cannot keep my doctor of over 30 years. The way it was set up, the employer still provides a subsidy for one insurer, 3 choices... or you can go off and get something completely on your own and no subsidy.
Doctor? Ha! Better get used to the words “Nurse Practitioner”.
The first thing HR does (at my company) when considering a new health insurance company is to run a comparison of how many doctors that the employees actually used in the past year are common to both insurance plans. That number is usually above 95%. If it is much lower, that new insurer is simply not considered.
Since Obama never actually worked at a company, these concepts are foreign to him.
“You ain’t the boss of me.”
LOL - Haven’t heard that one in awhile... my son used to tell his older sister that ALL THE TIME!
Wait a minute. If they "don't have health insurance initially," where'd they get the doctor they're going to have to switch? And how are they saving money under Obamacare? If they were already paying for doctor visits out-of-pocket, wouldn't catastrophic coverage be better than Obamacare? If they weren't paying before (i.e., Medicaid), then how are they saving money now?
Whenever Obama opens his mouth about healthcare, it's either lies or nonsense (e.g., his comment about amputations).
Obama may as well have said, in addition: “So What!”
He sure as heck doesn’t care!
We got a flyer from a group we used to see - a MD and FNP.
The dr we had been seeing lately died in January. Still looking around for his replacement. A friend who had been seeing him for over 20 years is in a bad spot: the guy who bought the practice apparently isn’t taking the Medicare patients and his office staff are pretty snotty about sending records elsewhere. She is almost 70 and has a broken foot, high BP and BAD arthritis. Such a bad time to hunting a DR. Pray for her and all the others affected by this event.
It’s actually YOUR fault for liking a doctor who is not approved by Obama...
Our already outrageously high insurance has gone up another outrageous amount. The deductibles make it pointless, should anything catastrophic happen. We still have our doctors though. Whenever we have to go through Obamacrap.gov control to sign up for this ripoff, we will go without.
It seems like a fitting retort for President Stompy Feet :D
Nearly everybody, as it turns out. What is amusing is that quite a number of Dems apparently felt that screwing this up badly enough would be a sure route to single-payer, begging the question of "if you couldn't do that, why should we trust you to run single-payer?" by simply being the only game in town. But the question isn't begged, it's on everybody's lips and there actually is an alternative answer - tear the whole rotten structure down, now.
