So, this gets really complicated.

What happens if you stop paying, then get the 30 days coverage obligated by the insurer so you still have 60 days of the 90 day grace period of medical treatment the doctor is obligated to provide even if you've stopped paying.

1. And then once the 60 day free medical treatment obligated from the doctor expires, you then are not eligible for any medical treatment at all, except I suppose from hospital emergency rooms but doesn't probably include prescriptions you need.

2.Who is to enforce that doctors give appointments to patients who stopped paying that the doctor knows he won't be getting paid for?

3.What happens when doctors won't see people who stopped paying? Call in the National Guard? Arrest the doctors for not giving appointments to see patients?

4. What about people who are in critical condition, who've stopped paying and need life-saving surgery?

5. What happens if after the 90 day grace period, having received free medical treatment, the ObamaCare recipient wants to start paying again? Where does the period of medical treatment resume?

I could go on, but it gets even more complicated.

So, can we start again from the point where if you want to keep your medical insurance , you can?

Sponge off of taxpayers = grace period

Responsible for yourself = no grace period

Can’t have people thinking there are consequences to their actions and whatnot.

Love how the insurance companies only cover 1/2 of what the doctor covers. And of course how is the doctor to check? Call the insurance company...... good luck with that one!

Note “The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution says ‘nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.’ If this results in the doctor providing uncompensated service, does that fall under the 5th amendment? Or does the doctor just deduct the amount from their tax return? Since there is a limit for charity deductions, I suggest using the theft losses section!

“Er, we’re sorry, but the next available appointment isn’t until Oct 14. We’re a busy office, I’m sure you understand....”

Good questions, but I fear the communists empire will pay the remaining balance with our tax money. You can bet on that.

The Doctors are about to get Bundied by the Government. That is to say that each time they meet a requirement the Government adds one that is more difficult to meet until they can no longer meet them. Then the Government plants on this forum will chant, “They are deadbeats, they refuse to pay their injecting fees, the patients belong to all of us”, and so on. They deserve what they get.

Doctors are the new slaves, followed by all wage earners.

Not all that complicated. First, doctors and hospitals are only obligated to provide care to stabilize emergency conditions (EMTALA). For non-emergency conditions, a doctor is never required to provide an appointment or treatments, regardless of the patient's health plan. He would be stupid to do so if he knows the patient is over 30d delinquent on his obamacare premiums. If there's no way to know if the patient is actually in this "60-90 day loophole", then it will only take getting burned a couple of times before he will stop taking obamacare plans, as they can't be trusted. This type of provider revolt combined with sticker shock from massive deductibles is going to be the ultimate downfall of obamacare. The only question is what post-obamacare will look like-sensible market based reform or single payer.
