the doctors themselves are going to have to take this mess in hand and say eff you to the insurance companies and exchanges and refuse to take insurance and refuse to be dictated to by an insurance company and stand on their own two feet. The doctors should be setting up health care, not the effing government and not the insurance companies

Welcome to Obama's Healthcare Paradise.

What next? Confiscations of toilet paper as in the People's Republic of Venezuela?

A Cuban ex-pat, residing in NYC, recently said he had to send thread to the "socialist paradise of Cuba" so that his relative can get stitched up after surgery on her "wonderful government healthcare plan."

[nhwingut]

Same here in NH. The exchanges provide the “choice” of exactly one (1) provider. Nice choice there.

I suppose Blue Cross-Blue Shield will benefit for a while, but sooner or later they too will be gobbled up.

This whole Obamacare mess is designed to make insurance companies fail and allow the Government to take over health care completely with their single payer Government insurance they will rip us off with, with the cooperation of the IRS.

BC & BS is helping in their own demise.

“We are out there taking this seriously. When we were called to serve the state of North Carolina with health insurance, we answered that call…We’re committed to enforcing the law of the land,” Boreman said.

Crone capitalist? Leninist? Fellow traveler? Propagandist? It looks like there will be very little reason to formally nationalize the whole thing with a monopoly operating the system.

[Roccus]

In WV, Highmark BC/BS is already the ONLY option on the Obama Exchange.

That’s why calling ObamaCare “Socialism” or “Communism” or “Marxism” is dead wrong.

It’s a state-directed, command economics executed through the private sector.

AKA Fascism.

[silverleaf]

think of all the insurance industry campaign donations that went to democrats

think of all the insurance bigwigs enjoying $25,000 dinners with Obama

monopolies are so much more efficient for ruling the little people, ask a democrat

“Congresswoman: Obamacare creating health insurance monopolies “

It’s almost as if health insurance is being reduced to some sort of “single payer” or something.

[Paine in the Neck]

ObamaCare is creating ONE health 'insurance' monopoly - the US government as administered by wild-eyed, save-the-earth-from-humans, radical bolsheviks. You can soon expect the likes of Lois Lerner to be deciding who and who does not get treatment. If you are not politically or financially useful to the Revolution, if you are born inconveniently or are burdensome to the avant garde lifestyle or are an embarrassment to the self image of the ruling nomenklatura you will be discarded, chucked into ObamaCare's apothetae of "no care for you".

[MarkL]

Of course ObamaPelosiReidCare was designed to create a "medical insurance" monopoly. It's designed from the outset to create the ultimate monopoly: Government run "health insurance."

Given that it will be administered by the IRS, it finally gives the government control over your life or death, depending on your political party membership, your political party donations, and your political class.

Monopolies are easier to nationalize

[ridesthemiles]

Any temporary advantage that BCBS will have will be wiped out when Obama nationalizes all American health care in the future.

None of this will end well.

Anyone who isn’t connecting the dots is too lazy to do so, IMO.

[GeronL]

A government monopoly is coming

[arthurus]

Kenycare is designed to and will result in a health care monopoly- one single payer- the US government and the IRS will decide ultimately who gets treated and who is left to die.Graham and McCain will always get top of the line medical care. Other Republicans less and medicine for Conservatives will be questionable and delayed to the maximum.

[Vaduz]

Every fed failed program ends up doing one thing it gets bigger and Obamacare is at the top of the list.
