yes indeed. I received info. from Medicare that premiums were going to be higher starting in January. I went to one of my Dr. yesterday and we discussed how would Obama care affect appointments and treatments. He pointed out that since it added more people and there are not enough MD's to cover they would have to limit, frequency and what they could offer since Obama care will lower automatically reimbursements for Medicare and Medicaid. Not only that, Medicare and Medicaid payments to Nursing homes? Results: We Seniors and poor people we'll have more limitations, those who can pay cash will be in better shape. Even though the Obama care gives the impression that they offer more, since they pay less how many MD' s will continue to provide services to Medicare patients. Medicare is very clear they pay 80 % for hospitalization or treatment of what a Physician who accepts Medicare patients would charge. That may be the solution for our deficit. Seniors and poor people-goodbye! Not to be so gloom and doom we'll have to wait but I expect a nasty surprise. If so, how many would go with me to the white house and picket and have some fun? Yes fun. Obama always states he is for the poor and middle class people, so since that is what he says we are sure that the changes in Obama care are positive for us! Then he needs to join us and make it one Health care provider only for every single person in the USA including him and the House. |

More falsehoods from Obama hater gymdandee. Hotair.com is a right wing conservative site that uses Rush Limbaugh hate filled talk as part of its " news ". Try fact checking gymdandee's messages on non biased sites like politifact or the congressional budget office and find out for yourself how many falsehoods he spreads to feed his hatred for President Obama and the Democrats. President Obama has his faults, but I'm tired of listening to lies from haters with an agenda.Response to Obamacare just raised your health care premium by $63: |

The hatefulness of certain extremists is unbearable! I understand that there will be an added 63 dollar tax in order to get things rolling so more people can become uninsured. In some ways, it'll benefit everyone since all will now have to contribute and will no longer be able to use the ER as their doctor's office, while contributing nothing. There's also a plus since those with pre-existing conditions will not be able to buy health insurance. Our current system is a mess and it's good that progress is finally being made. The $63 is only for the first year and there's a sliding scale. The second year it drops about 15 and does the same the third year. It's only a three year added tax and I don't mind paying a few dollars so everyone has access to medical care. We can definitely pay out so people in other countries are cared for, so why not also pay for our own? |
