Can you show me the link for that. Not trying to be a wise-ass, just curious.

"When it was enacted in 2010, the health-care law was a product of a delicate balancing act among various parts of the health-care industry."

If it was so carefully calibrated and "delicately balanced," why have there been so many problems? Amy Goldstein - another Obama shill.

Donald is trying to bring all the chairs together into a bench. With a little squeezing we can fit on it until we can widen the bench.

Snort snort snicker snicker snort snort!

This abomination? The only delicate balancing act was later, with all the illegal EOs and dubious court decisions needed to nurse this monster along.

Back in ‘03 I had to take one of my kids to the ER on a Friday afternoon. I went out to the waiting room around 6pm, and what had been an empty area was filled with dozens of people, none of whom spoke English. I concluded that these uninsured people waited until the end of their workweek to come to the hospital that was forced by law to treat them, rather than a doctor’s office visit during the week that might interfere with their work, and might cost them $$$.

I know what MY (and/or my insurance company) ER costs were. I think back then there was a base of $400 per ER visit. A doctor’s office base cost then would have been @ $50-75, but that would have come out of their own pockets. It was an appalling lesson.

These hospitals organized their business in such a way as to profit off the ACA subsidies from now till the end of time.

They bet on the wrong horse. Too bad. You lose!

They’re going to bellyache about having to revise their business model again. The pea-packer PPACA did seduce them onto an easy street, that’s why they went for this. Why did they act like their brains were on Mars when their clients lived on Venus?

Remember the passing and later repeal of the Medicare Catastrophic health care act?

Repeal of Obamacare can be done!

Repeal obamacare. And watch the sky not fall.

The local daily rag here actually did a good story on the two largest health insurers in town.

Highmark leapt into Obamacare whole-hog. Ran around opening health insurance kiosks in malls, and trying to sign up everyone. When it gets repealed they are gonna get SCROOOOOOOD! Because, in the end, Sarah Palin was right. People will sign-up when they get sick because you’ll have to take them.

UPMC on the other hand had their actuaries look at the law, and decided there were too many unknowns to take that leap. They held back on enrollments and are now looking like prescient geniuses.

LOL! I have talked to a lot of people, doctors/nurses, etc (my daughter is a RN) in hospitals and they are not happy with ObamaCare. They are not earning those extra billions (they claim they will lose) under Obama Care compared to what was happening before it came into being....

Maybe the $16 M figure is based on $100 aspirin and q-tips.
