This is getting really bizarre. Up until now it's been stupid, then panicky, then tyrannical. But now they've reached bizarro land. The White House decides to force Joe Sixpack to buy their kind of insurance plan. Then the White House tells Joe, "Go Online." Joe says about the website, "You gotta be kidding me." The White House informs Joe, because the website's broken, that he can't keep his doctor, that he can't keep his policy, that's he's paying more for his premium, that his deductibles are doubling at a minimum, and that his co-pays are doubling. Then the White House starts announcing changes to the law, even though the law itself has certain words on a page in black and white. changing Joe Six Pack's health insurance plan daily. Then they start changing requirement dates based on elections and timing. Finally, we get them telling Joe that the entire network of docs and hospitals idea was a piece of junk, so that's changed too.
You can't get there to buy something you can't afford that no one will provide and very few were allowed to provide.
Sounds like a plan.....from bizarro land.
A far simpler fix to health care would have been to require all health care providers to post a list of charges for their services like every other industry.
No way in hell a hospital visit where they provided zero service except for an ambulance ride, an ice pack and some blood pressure checks can cost over 10K.
