The plan for psychiatric patients is for them to call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration to get treatment if they are on Medicaid.

Pretty soon I’m sure we’ll have a Urological Health Administration, as well as Proctological Health Administration.
Not to worry. I'm sure they will get doctors from someplace who will accept the miserable stipends to treat us. The problem will likely be us understanding them through their heavy Middle Eastern and African accents.
Welcome to Obamacare!
Indian Health Care and Veterans’ Care for EVERYONE. And you get to pay EXTRA for it.
Till your doctor starts refusing the new reduced rates.

Did Medicare reduce their payments just recently?
It’s part of Obamacare.
Since I see more than 1 doctor to treat multiple auto immunes, You cannot help but notice the sings up that say NO MORE NEW MEDICARE AND TRICARE LIFE posters, along with the no use of perfumes, after shave, they forget those strong body soaps.
Our health care system will resemble the British model, 6 months to get an appointment, 6 months to get treatment.
We might as well go back to being our own doctors. Learn which vits and mins you need to treat minor illnesses.
It’s been delayed and it stands a good chance of being repealed ...

Leftists have never understood the laws of supply and demand. That's why they've destroyed, or at least hampered, every economy they have laid their hands on.
I’ve always hated the term “healthcare” used to mean a financial bet with an insurance company. The two have little to do with one another, as you point out.
Also, if health care is the medical SYSTEM here, it’s also not much more than a 1984 speak kind of thing. Care is definitely not involved, and health isn’t always, either.
I guess some folks will have to go to Costa Rica, et al.
Sad how silly, uninformed voters, ruined the best healthcare system in the world.
You're joking? Washington State is going to spend $40 Million a year just for psychiatric treatment of children on Medicaid.

As far as adults on Medicaid, it is often difficult to get into see a psychiatrist in this area (only one who accepts Medicaid patients), but starting January 1st psychiatric specialty nurse practitioners and other providers may be seen. Certainly better than nothing.
The last paragraph regarding opening up to other mental health professionals is just WA State, AFAIK.
First of all, the battle against Obamacare is far from over. The best healthcare system is not yet (completely) ruined, but it's moving in that direction, and had been starting to move there even long before Obama came into office, primarily by earlier government interference schemes and the way they were administered.
Yes, there are a lot of silly, uninformed voters who vote for leftist candidates (dumbed down education is largely responsible), but the left also engages in massive election fraud and cheating which could very well have been the decisive factor for Obama and a number of 'rat Senate candidates in 2012. Many of these "silly, uninformed voters" could be phantoms voted for by others - deceased or moved out of the district they "voted" in. Some others in this group may have had no interest in voting but did so because of bribes, some legally were ineligible to vote. There are quite a number of other schemes where illegal "votes" for leftist 'rats were counted in the vote totals.
Obamacare is one of the huge negative consequences of a crooked election system. It was never supported by a majority of the American citizens. Nor were the sleazy methods that the 'rat-controlled Congress used to pass it in 2010.

And don’t forget to mention “Now kept in place by your Friendly Republican RINO’s!”
“How will the government force doctors, especially specialists, to TAKE patients?”
Suspend their licenses if they don’t.
“...as well as Proctological Health Administration.”
They tried to open storefront franchises like “My Eye Doctor” but it didn’t work...
Yes, there could be some truth to that, although I don't know what RINOs in Congress could gain politically by trying to keep Obamacare, with opinion polls now showing that their constituents in the vast majority of their districts are strongly opposed to it. If any RINO congresscritter or candidate stealthily wants to keep it in place, there should be enough GOP opposition to it in most districts to primary him or her.
