A Thursday Huffington Post article highlighting Obamacare victims is causing quite a stir on the left.
The piece, titled "How Obamacare Leaves Some People Without Doctors," breaks from the Huffington Post's usual embrace of Obamacare and features the voices of Covered California customers who are already dissatisfied with the health insurance they bought through the Covered California exchange.
"My insurance is pretty useless," 35-year-old new Los Angeles mother Ruth Iorio told HuffPo. "I don't know what to do. I may just drop it for myself and keep my son on it. It's really depressing."
Iorio says her Obamacare plan is worthless because after over a dozen calls, she still cannot find doctors who accept her Obamacare plan who are also practicing in a hospital that accepts her coverage. Prior to buying through the California Obamacare exchange Iorio had an individual Blue Shield plan that cost less and covered a wide array of doctors and hospitals.

"I'm paying $500 a month and every doctor I'm calling is saying, 'No, I can't see you,'" said Iorio.

They actually let that post? Holy crap!
men and women are different would never make it though

Thanks JimRob.
never mind
It’s a call for the Government to bring down the Big Hammer of Regulation and FORCE doctors to take Obamacare insurance.
Prelude to forcing MD’s to take Ocare. Just setting up the message beforehand so the LIV’s go along with that.
I always call it bummercare.
FedGov will never be able to FORCE current doctors to participate... Where do you think the new H1B visas will be going?
If things remain like they are now, there won’t be an American-born doctor in the next 10 years...
it is almost to the point of deporting all democrat bureacrats and currently elected politicians.
RINOs too.
Quite probably to moslems that practice medicine. I wish I were kidding.
HuffPo prints what the White Hut wants them to post. Next up on the progressive agenda is the move to single payer to solve these problems, which of course are due to the evil insurance companies and greedy doctors.
This is just banging the drum of complete nationalization of the healthcare industry, where all doctors are government employees whose compensation is set by the politicians.
