tiger1 (OP) User ID: 6269153 United States 01/21/2013 05:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know how anyone can be happy about this montrosity. Obamacare took a healthcare cost crisis and added an more cost to it with a bloated bureacracy to oversee it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32725555 Starting next year, if you do not have medical coverage, you have to pay a penalty. I have to add that my oldest daughter, who has multiple disabilities, had her medicaid coverage cut off as of January 1st. She was born with mild spina bifida, bilateral hip dysplasia, and is LD, EH, and ADHD. The letter we got in said that she was now healthy. LOL, what a crock. There is no appeal.

tiger1 (OP) User ID: 77394 United States 01/21/2013 09:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does anyone know how much people are going to be charged that do not have insurance? When this "tax" kicks in. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26447781 I have been wondering if all the bums on public assistance are going to have to pay also, or are they going to get a free pass on that too? Most will get a free pass, IMO. It looks like the only one in my immediate family that will not be paying a penalty, will be me. My oldest now has no insurance, my husband has no insurance, and my youngest daughters insurance expires in February 2014. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |
Penneylaine User ID: 12736416 United States 01/21/2013 09:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Boston Children's Hospital has had to seriously cut back due to Obama care. The nurses told us they have to send children that have just had major, serious surgeries home 3-4 days earlier than they used to due to the new regulations. Also, many surgeries must be done in the home town hospital instead of finding the best MD as you would at BCH. Last year, my son had to have double hip surgery or he would have been in a wheel chair unable to walk in a few years. It was a major 10 hour surgery for each hip. There is not one doctor in our state or region for that matter that could have done the surgery that the #1 children's hip surgeon even dared to do. Glad we got it done while we could but sad for those children in the future. |

If a patient gets re-admitted within a certain number of days after discharge, even if it is for an entirely unrelated event from the previous hospitalization, the hoapital will get penalized. My middle daughter had years of treatments and surgeries at Shriners Childrens Hospital in Oak Park, Illinois. I wonder how obamacare affects this facility?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 01/21/2013 09:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My mother,who has congestive heart failure, and is on oxygen, as of January 1st no longer has a nurse come and check on her once a week, due to the Medicare cuts. As of August 1st of 2012, when the first round of cuts came, her once a week Physical Therapist was totally cut, her nurse was cut to 1 day a week from 2 days, and her CNA was cut from 2 hours twice a week, to 1 hour once a week. She was told that the CNA might be totally cut too. She still lives in her own home, by herself, sparing the taxpayers the cost of nursing home care. IF she would go into a nursing home, the money available from the liquidation of the few assetts would be gone in a few months, and then Medicaid would pick up the tab. Quoting: tiger1 My older brother was notified by mail on saturday, that the medical insurance premium for his school age son has gone up from $100 a month to $750 a month. That's right, a 650% INCREASE !!! My brother, who was forced to retire early a year and a half ago, was covering my nephew on his work policy. He cancelled the medical insurance, as the increased premium eats up nearly his whole pension check. He called for an explanation, and was told EVERYONE got an increase, whether a retired employee or one that is still employed. Obamacare has done nothing to help the health care crisis in our country. Instead, it has made health care totally unaffordable, and the rationing of care has begun. Why can't she live with family? That is how it use to be long ago. Family took care of its own. Family should take care of its own. Can any of you take her into your homes? That is what I am my siblings are preparing to do. Don't expect the government to take care of what is your responsibility. I know it is harsh but it is reality. I am right there with you as are many others who have parent/s to take care of. |

I have also heard that whatever a person leaves behind at death the government can claim half of it. I think it is inheritance tax. If I were her I would sell the house now and use that to live on while living with my kids. Or giving what I want to my kids before the government takes it. Make sure she has a good will so the house doesn't get hung up somewhere where no one can sell it. There are a few in my neighborhood this has happened to. |
