You don’t need a doctor, you have insurance!

After you pay your $10,000 deductible and you add up your payments for the year totaling around $10,000, hey you are 20 grand in the whole and you got to see the doctor three times for fevers and/or sore throat. Is that great!

FUBO!

Private health insurance companies operated for generations without subsidies and were able to provide health insurance at lower cost and without government subsidies. Health Republic was spotted $265 million and couldn't even last two years! I mean, spot me $265 million, and I bet I could limp along in ANY business for at least a decade. I guess the wizards who dreamed up Obamacare and called all of us critics of the scheme stupid, weren't so smart after all. As P.J. O'Rourke once said: "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it is free".

Also the premiums paid by the victims above and beyond the Obamacare subsidies were stolen as well.

Mmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm! I like spending cracker money!

The money went to salaries and to an IT company, probably associated with the Obamas, that did the “very expensive” web design and integration work necessary to communicate the federal exchanges. Nothing ever worked of course, but they tried!

Just horrible. Surely some of that money went back to Obama and his cronies? Or were the employees cronies? When I think that my husband and I paid some of those taxes...

Obamacare is a fascist construct which would have made Mussolini proud.

Government control of a key industry with massive legal and regulatory powers.
Something every citizen is forced to purchase.
Politically-correct crony-capitalists are allowed to play in the market, with subsidies, as long as they tow the politically-correct line.
Massive insider corruption.

“or are bargaining directly with patients over their medical fees…”

I think that’s the way it should be.

Maybe this chaos brought to NY and the country by the democrats will help NY rethink how it votes.

Not a chance.

To all of those in New York City who VOTED for Obama..

"Gosh.. sorry about your luck folks!"

Unfortunately, this is how people eventually learn. Their OWN a$$ has to be burned directly or they pay little or no attention.

Condolences to those that have been burned that were anti-Obama to begin with.

Obozo is DEFINITELY the very WORST presidink this Country has ever experienced... and it's not over for 12 more months.

The money probably didn’t go to the doctors. They’re spending a lot submitting paperwork over and over to the insurance companies. Half of what they bill never gets paid. But they still have to pay their staff and pay clerical help to do the billing.

There’s a reason why tens of thousands of them are retiring early. If you think it’s hard to get an appointment now wait until next year.
