"The Obamacare implosion is worse than you think"

more lies. what a surprise.

Here?s Evidence Obamacare Isn?t Lowering Healthcare Costs

obmacare kills unemployment benefits. seriously though, how far can we keep stretching our tax dollars? what is happening wrong in American is our tax dollars used to be spent on services that benefit everyone. Roads, bridges, fire and police protection and many others that benefited all citizens. Today though, larger and larger chunks of our money are going to benefit specific segments of society. Not society as a whole

What tends to be forgotten in this debate is that medicaid payment rates are so low that they significantly increase deathrates relative to even the uninsured and on many state exchanges those reimbursement rates are even lower as in CA. That will be ever bigger news.

by now, you should know that the guy at forbes has a partisan agenda...I mean, how many articles has Forbes Opinion done now on the ACA...40? 50? All distorted and all without the full truth....if you research and check ALL that has been said in these articles you would know this....

You shouldn't trust your source without confirming what they tell you and say...

I have an original idea for you...ask a doctor.
Most of my physicians are mighty pleased.
My optometrist isn't very happy, but I can't get him to provide any concrete numbers.

so are taxes. and this from a guy who said he wouldn't increase taxes on the middle class. but of course, as usual, the middle class is the one bearing the full weight of these taxes.

Democrats Continue Class Warfare Rhetoric | RealClearPolitics

After 14 months, one Pittsburgh businessman still wonders: If everyone like him had voted in 2012, how differently might 2013 have turned out?

The lifelong Democrat, who runs a five-man machine shop, regrets not voting for president in 2012.

He admits President Barack Obama's assault on Mitt Romney's character cast just enough doubt in his mind that he believed the Republican nominee would favor Wall Street over Main Street, put Washington into political deadlock and keep the economy stubbornly at a standstill.
He also believed he could keep his health-care plan — the one he liked — under Obama.

“For me, the class-warfare slogans were just enough to keep me at home,” he explained, adding that he'll never do that again.

“Wall Street boomed under Obama, Washington is still at a stalemate, and the economy is still at a standstill. It was all a crock.”

I'm sorry. What kind of business did she work for?




It's easy to be glib about Democrats reaping the rewards of disincentivizing businesses from hiring but all my glibness flies out the window when I think about the real people being hurt. I get angry. I hope your mother lands on her feet.

Telemarketing....She's on social Security too, so she can still pay her bills at least. The younger people don't have that option.

and lest we forget medicaid eligibility was expanded more than medicaid expenditures so on a per capita basis reimbursement must be cut.

Here is the rule:

Here is the definition of the rule:

Here is what's happening in one state: (info is hard to come by)
CMS rule will subject Medicare physicians to 24% cut on January 1 | Medical Association of Georgia
Here is an article on why:
Permanent 'Doc-Fix' Looks DOA for 2013 - NationalJournal.com

CMS decided not to finalize its proposal to cap physician payment rates at the hospital outpatient or ambulatory surgery center level.

Which means only Doctor office visits are covered, Medicaid reimbursement increases to the new lower levels of Medicare reimbursement.

And I can't say for sure cause my eyes are bugging out from reading too much, but it appears this rule only pertains to states that set up their own exchanges.

My Mother was just laid off.... Her company is being downsized to 40 employees

Jroc, a friend of mine owns a large contract packaging company. he employed 265 FT people and had a part time floating force for peak seasons. he now has 16 FT employees and the rest are now part time. because of obamacare. most of his part time people are his previous FT. Same workers getting less hours.

it figures the staple of the hard working Americans as a safety net when they become seniors would be hit the hardest. sickening. now that we are getting a chance to see the reality of obamacare, i wonder how many seniors are pissed as hell at AARP for steering them wrong and backing obamacare.
