That would be Phase II of their tyrannical power grab.
If too many doctors "opt out" of this train wreck (as the CBO predicts) and it makes Democrats look bad politically, they will force doctors to accept their Big Government mandates.
The key word being "politically" because that is all these assholes ever care about (see the purpose of this thread).
I would be all for this Obamacare if it didn't mess with my costs, or we were forced to buy insurance.
But adding a few hundred dollars a month to my premium, upping the co-pays and then adding a HUGE deductible PUSHED ME out of having insurance, cause now I cant afford it, and it makes no sense to buy it with the costs I would incur if I used it

You are one of those it hurt. There are many of you. There are also many that it has helped, and we won't know for a few years the net effect. It's here until Jan 2017 at least, so both sides should be working on ways to make it better, so there are less folks like you, and more that it helps, instead of the futile efforts to repeal it.
12,000,000 who?....Maybe its 12,000,000 who have to get on Medicaid because they dont make enough & cant afford the premiums...How many new paying YOUNG customers do they have to pull the weight of the old who are more likely to use heath insurance?....The Communist Democrat #s are 99% bullshit...
Uh, there is nobody, not the CBO, not the White House, claiming "12 million previously uninsured Americans now have insurance"
You have already been provided the reasons as to why the CBO reduced the projected cost - note it is not good news if you have ACA insurance - and of course you skipped right over it.
You are a rank idiot, and you prove it with every post.
Your posts are a profile in what happens when low IQ meets topical ignorance.

More than a dozen widows who were married to retired Madison County employees saw their health insurance coverage dropped earlier this year, and one county commissioner now says it’s time to give it back.
The change was sparked by the new federal health care law, but whether or not coverage can actually be restored remains unclear.
Madison County Commissioner Roger Jones said no one realized just how much the new federal health care law would change things, especially for the spouses of some of his former employees.
“What I’m trying to do is get this coverage back to them,” said Jones. “A lot of these people are on fixed incomes. Some of them are living on Social Security and very little else, and health insurance is very important to them.”

Keep clapping, idiots

U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, the lone member of the Bay State delegation to vote against Obama*care four years ago, now predicts the law’s botched roll-out will not only cost Democrats valuable House seats but could even jeopardize their control of the Senate in this year’s hotly contested midterm elections.
“We will lose seats in the House,” the plain-talking South Boston Democrat said in Boston Herald Radio’s studio yesterday, delivering a harsh diagnosis. “I am fairly certain of that based on the poll numbers that are coming out from the more experienced pollsters down there. And I think we may lose the Senate. I think that’s a possibility if things continue to go the way they have been ... primarily because of health care.”
Lynch cuttingly questioned whether many of his colleagues who echoed President Obama’s health care promises even “read through the bill really,” noting that many mechanisms created to fund the law still aren’t in effect.
Among them, Lynch said, is a hefty tax on employers who offer so-called “Cadillac” plans that won’t come into play until 2018.
“There’s all these taxes and fees that are the tough medicine, that up to now they haven’t implemented. I don’t know who’s going to do that,” Lynch said. “Maybe ... they expect the next administration is going to put these penalties in place. I think that’s the time it’s going to hit the fan.”

They will probably lose seats because this is working so well.

ConsumerWatch: Some Covered California Patients Say They Can’t See A Doctor
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...lifornia-patients-say-they-cant-see-a-doctor/
MOUNTAIN VIEW (KPIX 5) – While open enrollment for coverage under the Affordable Care Act is closed, many of the newly insured are finding they can’t find doctors, landing them into a state described as “medical homelessness.”
Rotacare, a free clinic for the uninsured in Mountain View, is dealing with the problem firsthand.
Mirella Nguyen works at the clinic said staffers dutifully helped uninsured clients sign up for Obamacare so they would no longer need the free clinic.
But months later, the clinic’s former patients are coming back to the clinic begging for help. “They’re coming back to us now and saying I can’t find a doctor, “said Nguyen.
Thinn Ong was thrilled to qualify for a subsidy on the health care exchange. She is paying $200 a month in premiums. But the single mother of two is asking, what for?
“Yeah, I sign it. I got it. But where’s my doctor? Who’s my doctor? I don’t know,” said a frustrated Ong.
Nguyen said the newly insured patients checked the physicians’ lists they were provided and were told they weren’t accepting new patients or they did not participate in the plan.
And Nguyen says – while the free clinic isn’t technically supposed to be treating former patents they signed up for insurance, they can’t in good faith turn them away.
Dr. Kevin Grumbach of UCSF called the phenomenon “medical homelessness,” where patients are caught adrift in a system woefully short of primary care doctors.
“Insurance coverage is a necessary but not a sufficient condition to assure that people get access to care when they need it,” Grumbach said.
Those who can’t find a doctor are supposed to lodge a complaint with state regulators, who have been denying the existence of a doctor shortage for months.
Meanwhile, the sick and insured can’t get appointments.
“What good is coverage if you can’t use it?” Nguyen said.
Experts said the magnitude of the problem is growing, and will soon be felt by all Californians. But those on the front lines, like the free clinic, are feeling it first.
More than 3 million Californians are newly insured. At the same time, a third of our primary care doctors are set to retire.
