70% Ca. doctors will not participate in obama's unaffordable care act

[tyroneweaver]

California's state-run Obamacare health insurance exchange, Covered California, is touted by the Obama administration as a model of the policy's success. That was, in fact, the political strategy all along, as Obama's non-profit organization, Organizing for Action, focused on helping California's rollout effort. But in addition to inflated web traffic numbers and privacy concerns, Covered California now faces an acute doctor shortage.

An estimated 70% of California doctors will not participate in the Obamacare-compliant health insurance policies offered by Covered California, according to the California Medical Association, as reported by the Washington Examiner. Though Covered California claims that 85% of doctors will participate, many doctors listed as participating are expected to decline payment, having learned that reimbursements will be very low.

If true, it appears The Gollum's great Socailist Experiment is done for...in California, anyway.

And it appears to be true. It quotes the President of the California Medical Association. Also, this was posted yesterday, and only one Loon "demanded proof" and none refuted it.

 

[JakeStarkey]

"70% Ca. doctors will not participate in obama's unaffordable care act" is a nonsense statement.

Let's move on.

Another Obama drone dropping duds today has passed by.

You pompous half-wit ass.

Is this all you've got?

"Independent insurance brokers who work with both insurance companies and doctor networks estimate that about 70 percent of California's 104,000 licensed doctors are boycotting the exchange."

And then the President of the California Medical Association says this estimate "doesn't surprise me."

Your bogus response looks so ridiculous...and it really is about all we get from you damn left wing loons.

Why don't you try to contribute an actual response? That or don't respond at all. That way, you can pretend that you didn't read what you cannot refute.

Naw.

The next step will be the government finding a way to force providers to take plans even if they're losing money on every patient.

Would anyone here be surprised?

Omg, you and Breitbart are so full of shit. California has state exchanges that have been very organized. 70% is kind of an out there number.

The next step would be to totally federalize medicine. All doctors would be salaried federal employees or their licenses would be revoked.

This would turn into a revolution overnight. It would be like the farmers kulak revolution in Russia.

The state exchange is organized into getting people to sign up. This doesn't mean that there are medical providers just because people have signed up.

I promise you, what he said is absolutely not true.

Your basis for believing it isn't true is what? A feeling.

Exactly! However the far left programming will not allow them to see such things.

 

[candycorn]

Again, Obama is solving the immigration issue. These Doctors will leave their practice and pick oranges, pistachios, grapefruit etc...

Obama is playing chess while you guys are playing checkers.

HaHa. Nobody trusts what Breitbart has to say about any of it. They're just a little one sided on the issue of ACA and the success or failure. Doctors will do what they need to do, they'd be stupid not to.

I'm not saying you two are stupid but listening to Breitbart just doesn't seem like a wise thing to do.

 

[MACAULAY]

As there is not a left wing loon (working without talking points) with the capacity to refute the article...I will do it for him. for the sake of fair discussion.

The quote is from Insurance Bokers who foresee that the government will soon take their jobs.

Doesn't mean they are Liars (like our president)...just means they are prejudice...like every body in Obama's huge propaganda machine. The Citizens (and the Congress) have just about given up trying to get the Truth out of this White House.

Things are so partisan that an American despairs of getting the Truth about anything.

 

[JakeStarkey]

"You pompous half-wit ass" is an excellent description of the person defending the lobbyists who don't like ACA. Grow up.

Try this instead: show us how the exchange is not a hit with Californians.

The doctors will go to where the money is, of course.

In other words, you have nothing.

Can you, for once, look at things as they really are and not as you want them to be.

Advice you should follow, Avatar.

It's not partisan in this case, it's business and the doctors will not refuse patients. They're paying customers.
