Meanwhile my company healthcare plan is going from $447 per month for 2014 to $852 per month 2015. This is for the exact same coverage. I guess I should be happy I can still get it because the Co. is cutting the plan for new hires or anyone who does not have it already. The other 2 plans are horrible and to me do not count as insurance! It is not just me either, Most of my friends are having the same problem and we are NOT wealthy!I don't know what to do! Is it working? Maybe for someone but not anyone I know!

That's the dirty little secret. Many people have signed up for Medicaid style plans, but no sane doctor would be STUPID enough to take it.

Lots of these "success stories" don't speak of people who paid a month's premium, then decided even that was too much.

So a foolish doctor who treated a patient after the Medicaid policy expired get... NOTHING.

They do however get all of the liability if something goes wrong.

Lawyers. What's not to love about them?

The entire reason Obamacare or single payer will never work in the US is that there is absolutely no protection for doctors.

In glorious paradise countries with single payer, the loser pays in a malpractice case, so lawsuits are rare.

These countries also have rationed and delayed care, which NO American would tolerate.

The result equals a complete crashing of the system.
