Are healthCARE professionals getting the money?

Obamacare isn't healthCARE (and never was) it is health INSURANCE.

A buttload of people have LOST insurance thanks to Obamacare.

Three doctors I know of have retired or quit because of Obamacare.

I notice falling oil prices and an imploding upstream oil industry were not given any credit, but around these parts the effect is significant.

The year ahead will illustrate perfectly just how much the energy sector was keeping the overall economy afloat.

Under the law, at least 80% of the money paid for health insurance must be spent on payments for actual health care. The entire overhead and profits of the insurance companies is limited to 20% of the revenue.

Funny you should ask. Doctor reimbursement increased 2% under the ACA as an inducement to treat additional Medicare and Medicaid patients. Also the 2010 American recovery Act gave doctors and healthcare organizations sizeable bonuses to offset the cost of switching to EHR's, A lot of these payments will end or be reduced in 2016, but the profession is not going broke under the ACA through this point in time.
