Obamacare just ruined my life

Man-o-man are you an imbecile.

A significantly large portion of the U.S. health care market has nothing to do with profit - it has to do with government transfer payments and price controls...which drive up the cost for everyone else. We do not have anything remotely akin to a free market in health care, bub.

Another pea brain parrot squawks.

FALSE...government has done a much better job of keeping prices down than the private 'for profit' insurance cartels.

Is Medicare Cost Effective?

I recently spent a half-day in a meeting discussing a number of issues regarding Medicare. Most of us on the provider side of the street view Medicare as this multiheaded bureaucracy with more pages of regulations than the Internal Revenue Service's tax code. However, I came away from the meeting with some (to me at least) shocking revelations:

Medicare beneficiaries are overwhelmingly satisfied with their Medicare coverage, except for the absence of prescription drug benefits;

The administrative costs of Medicare are lower than any other large health plan.

In fact, Medicare is very efficient by any objective means:

According to the Urban Institute's Marilyn Moon, who testified before the Senate Committee on Aging, Medicare expenditures between 1970 and 2000 grew more slowly than those of the private sector. Initially, from 1965 through the 1980s, Medicare and private insurance costs doubled in tandem. Then Medicare tightened up, and per capita expenditures grew more slowly than private insurance, creating a significant gap. In the 1990s, private insurers got more serious about controlling their costs, and the gap narrowed. But by 2000, Medicare per capita expenditures remained significantly lower than the private sector.

Moon argues somewhat convincingly that Medicare has been a success. While not necessarily denying that certain reforms might be needed, she stresses the importance of preserving three essential tenets of the program:

1. Its universal coverage nature creates the ability to redistribute benefits to those who are neediest.

2. It pools risk in order to share the burdens of health care among the healthy and the sick.

3. Through Medicare, the government protects the rights of all beneficiaries to essential health care.

It has been argued that, in part, Medicare's cost effectiveness arises from the fact that it does not need to expend funds on marketing and sales-functions that are obligatory for the success of competitive, private-sector health plans. Moreover, some argue that the competitive model for health insurance has not been successful. In a market-driven economy, the healthy can and will change health plans for savings of only a few dollars a month, while the sick must remain in their existing plan in order to retain their physicians. Such behaviors lead to asymmetric risk pools and cost inequities.

This was all sobering news to a market-driven entrepreneur such as yours truly. However, given the perverse incentives that frequently drive behavior in health care, my take-home lesson is that there are examples in the success of Medicare we can apply to other sectors of our population.

Rofl how many times are you gonna post things you don't understand. What are you ten? Obama care is an attack on Medicare you fool.

No pea brain...the ACA rips 'for profit' insurance cartels off the government's tit. Medicare DIS-advantage...

WOW, you really are a pea brain...LOL

Per capita is a Latin prepositional phrase: It is commonly and usually used in the field of statistics in place of saying "for each person" or "per person"

Health Spending Per Capita:

Exhibit 1 shows per capita health expenditures for 2008 in U.S. dollars purchasing power parity. Health spending per capita in the United States is much higher than in other countries – at least $2,535 dollars, or 51%, higher than Norway, the next largest per capita spender. Furthermore, the United States spends nearly double the average $3,923 for the 15 countries.

Actually you do get prescription drugs under medicare Part B. Most people only pay twenty percent of the cost of prescription. There is also a plan under madicaid called "extra help" where you only pay about $2.50 per prescriptions and in a lot of cases, zero.

Bush is credited with getting part b passed.

that's kinda true.but only if you fit the income category,
in most cases (like mine) have a drug payment schedule stage 1. is yearly deductible (certain plans have no deductible )
2.initial coverage: at this stage the plan pays its share of the costs and you pay the rest.
3.coverage gap (the part not covered by medicare part b.)you pay 79% of the cost of your drugs they pay 21% .
this can be pricy ,during this period your cost for say insulin,is around $244 for a one month supply.
you stay at this stage till your year to date cost reach a pre calculated amount,say $4750.
then you move to the 4th stage.
stage 4 catastrophic coverage then you pay 5% of the cost of the drug or a copayment of (2.65) for generic drugs or ($6.60) for all others.
this stage lasts till the end of the year ,then it starts all over in january of the new year.

Someday you will be the laughing stock of us message boards. That is not a threat, that is a promise.

 

[itfitzme]

I just received a letter from my job stating that no one will be working more than 30 hours a week.

I normally worked 48-52 hours per week generating 10 hours of regular play, and 8-12 hours of overtime time. Each hour I work averages an ADDITIONAL $ 11.25 in tips.

This means each week I will now be losing (20)(11.25) + (10)(10.50) + (10)(16.25) dollars per week.

I will now be losing an average of $ 492.50 per week.

This is nearly $ 2,000 per month.

Almost $24,000 a year ($ 23,640)

I can no longer afford my own private healthcare coverage --- thanks to Obamacare.

I will also have to find a second job, and DROP two classes at Stony Brook University.

So now I will make less money, work more hours, and it will take longer to complete my degree.

My life has been ruined by the parasites.

Obamacare just ruined my life.

Did they say it was because of the affordable care act, or are you just assuming that. I worked for decades as a 1099 employee. Why? Long before the affordable care act was passed, companies were hiring people part time and as independent contractors to avoid paying for the benefits. It is a practice that has been going on for decades. It is nothing new.

See, it's called "cause and effect". The cause of something has to be before the effect. If something happens before, then it can be a cause. 32 hour work weeks happened BEFORE the affordable care act. So, that means that the affordable care act can't be the cause.

I agree, the working people as part time employees to avoid paying benefits sucks as a practice. But that's the free market for you. That's what people want, a free market in the labor market.
