The idiots are finally getting what they voted for. For those who did not vote for the bastard, I empathize . When it rains, it rains on the just as well as the unjust. Just knowing the stupid idiots that worship him will suffer makes my day. I have been suffering ever since he occupied the white House.

“the government will also evaluate whether patients are healthier, among other measures.”
but of course. the government can’t very well justify healthcare “cost-cutting” measures without appropriate patient “evaluation.”

“If you like your doctor...
Too bad”
Wrong, if your doctor can’t make a buck on you, too bad for you!

"Now he has further incentivized doctors not to see fat, tobacco-using, chronically sick, hypertensive, old or mentally ill Obamacare or Medicaid patients, because they wont get paid if the result is not ideal."
Or people with drug or alcohol issues. Or older people with cancer, kidney, or liver problems. Maybe YOUNGER people with those problems as well.

So in other words, if the doctor doesn’t think you are likely to get better, at least in terms of how the government defines “better”, they won’t see you. What could go wrong...

Same here. I have to pray for forgiveness almost every night for my thoughts about that man.

The new treatment for serious health issues will be, "Go home and take an aspirin."

They're running the government.

They are all policy wonks at the EPA, DHS and HHS with the largest concentration being found in the Department of Education.
That is, except for the 17 individuals who had moral fiber and above average IQs. They post late night on FreeRepublic.

“If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it’s free.”
My former doctor, 2010
The physicians and health care providers are going to have to give up a bigger piece of their pie so the ‘Wesley Mouch’ health care ‘administrators’ in the Department of Health and IRS can have more pie.
Then we can start calling the paper-pushing bureaucrats who deny your claim, health-care providers and we’ll call the doctors, administrators.

unhealthy people won’t be able to find a doctor to save their lives . . . Literally. which sucks, since unhealthy people are usually the only people looking for doctors in the first place.
but, hey, federal control of public schools based on how smart the kids are has worked so well . . .

God wants us to detest and fight evil so maybe we’re being too hard on ourselves.

As the country's largest payer of health-care services, Medicare . . .
Letting that become the reality is the heart of the matter.
I know a good many Baby Boomers who have their little undies in a wad over the government being in Health Care and everything else but these same Boomers were eager to move their parents property into their names so Mom & Dad qualified for every government program available.
Now they just can't seem to admit they had a thing in the world to do with the current mess.

Socialized medicine means that all the employees of said system including physicians are nothing but glorified postal workers. Free enterprise, competition, and customer satisfaction have been effectively quashed.

Could you think of a better incentive for 8 years worth of school debt you can’t ditch in bankruptcy + residency time?
I bet they’ll have to fend off the crowds clamoring to get into med school in a few years with tasers!
