Article is written by a doctor--lays out the true impact on those who thought it was all going to be "free."

"...All Americans also have to pay the hidden regulatory taxes. ObamaCare will have tens of thousands of pages of rules. Compliance will be so costly that most independent physicians may close their doors.

Beyond tax increases, expensive employer mandates, or simple uncertainty about what the rules will be, will cost untold numbers of jobs. As more people are forced onto Medicaid, access to care will worsen. Obama’s “accountable care organizations” will incentivize “providers” to cut services to Medicare beneficiaries. So even the current beneficiaries of entitlement programs, a big chunk of the 47%, will be harmed by ObamaCare...."

They'll put more people on medicaid but will cut what medicaid covers. States will have to pick up the services that medicaid no longer covers, or deny services. Nursing homes and hospitals will be hit pretty hard.

The New health care law will be like prohibition, no one is going to comply, it's idiocy, they've gone too far, and everyone is no longer listening to them.

Our government has delegitimized themselves.

You can not be a government if no one is following.

Put another way, I will not pay for the blood sacrifice of an evil satanic bill that forces people to purchase the blood of dead infants.

5.63 Trillion dollars of disposable income taken out of the general marketplace to purchase basic health coverage that requires a deductible. Generally, people with deductibles use the healthcare system less than those without deductibles. healthcare loses money, and general marketplace loses money.

Re: The 47% Have No Clue As To How Much The "Free Healthcare" Will Really Cost Them
so true.

We are already getting hit. Sadly I am totally all for a "National Healthcare" because I have seen how top notch it really can be. Lived over seas in various countries for 10+ years.


This year our normal healthcare, that we paid 450$ a month for (family of 4) used to have a 20$ co-pay for office visits and gave an 80% discount for RX's.

Now we have a 3,000$ deductible???!!!

Meaning no more co-pay, no more RX help and now you pay full price for everything up to 3,000$ and only THEN will insurance start to pay for stuff and even then it's only 80%

WTF? We cant afford that shit. Mind you, this plan costs us THE SAME AS IT EVER DID.

So now our medical is really really f*cked.

I really really wish I could just tell them to get stuffed and just keep putting that 450$ a month into a savings account for medical. We would have made sooo much money because we are basically pretty healthy.

But don't you know, thats when you would have an accident or some crap costing 100 grand.

People need health care, not health care insurance. This law will not improve health care one bit, and will only limit the quality of health care you recieve...


To fix our health care system, your premiums should go directly to your regional hospital, where it is used for services staff and infrastructure. Your money would remain local, as opposed to the current system, where your money invested away from you and only provides an 85% payback.


Insurance is the problem, obamacare, only makes the problem worse...

100 percent agree. 7 days after I lost my insurance I had to have emergency surgery... go figure. As for the high deductible health plan.... Never again. I'm still in debt from when I was on it.

Yes, but when one of the 47% needs a particular procedure that won't be covered, they'll be shit out of luck. Then more and more doctors will go to a cash only basis. They don't want the gov't over their soulders more than they are already. The 47% have probably voted themselves out of decent health care. They've shot themselves in the foot.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27704375


I feel your pain, I have a similiar situation. I was very ill a few years back, and since then have always opted for the top tier of the insurance that my company offers. When I started at the company 4 years ago I had the same exact plan- $10 deductible for office visits, $5 or $15 for prescriptions (generic vs name brand) and $0 deductable. When I was hired my insurance was $120/month take out as $60 on each biweekly paycheck. I thought it was an amazing deal actually, after learning what hospitalization can cost without insurance.

We just finished open enrollment for benefits, and I rolled over everything from the previous years, same exact coverage. Except the premium is now $360/month or $180 out of each check. Even though I am earning $6 more per hour than I was 4 years ago, I am taking home LESS than I was when I started. And when ur salary is only around $1400 to begin with, it pinches quite a bit.

The whole system is out of whack for sure, but I don't think Obamacare is the answer. If it was done like other socialist countries then yes, it would work. But medicine is big business that makes a lot of people wealthy and they aren't letting go of that without a fight. When people get into medicine to make money instead of helping people, something is wrong.

I would be pleased to just go back to the way the system was 15 years ago with affordable HMO's through work. But there's too much money to be lost this way.

So a $10 trillion Iraq and Afgan war and a multi trillion dollar banking system collapse due to Republican bank deregulation (sub prime lending being available to anyone regardless of income or taxes) has nothing to do with our countrys imminent bankruptcy.

Now Republicans are dumber than ever, coming back in full force to explain how the rapture will come because of Obamacare because there's simply no money to be made by insurance companies if the government is competing with them. The government is still getting paid for it and you only pay if you use it. Unbelievable how stupid people are
