Obamacare Working

Albatross · Apr 29, 2014

Obamacare is taking the private health force out of commission. My local MD had to join up under the hospital in the area as opposed to being a private practice due to the insurance changes due to Obamacare.

I am not an expert on this, but maybe BP can chime in. Basically taking the private practice MD out of a job by forcing them to join under the big medical centers due to insurance coverages.

Seems like the Obama Big Government is creeping into the medical field. The thought of every thing going away from the private sector is a little scary.

Hey idiot: My link references the actual study used to show Minnesota ranked 33 in their rankings.

Yours did not.

Why did you try and provide a reference that was not used here?

Man, you are stupid.

Keep flailing, idiot.

First I didn't see the first article didn't see your first link had a highlighted 33. In fact My link DID rank Minnesota at 33. You stated Minnesota ranks 33rd in Public Schools. No they rank 33rd in Public High Schools according to the criteria they used. I can post links that have Minnesota Public Schools ranked much higher.

No, I'm going by the conclusion regarding there’s still no mortality difference between the screened and non-screened groups,

A point you can not address.

So are you saying that PSA and Mammograms are the only types of screening and preventive care there is?

This has been their intention all along.

You are using 2 forms of testing to prove your theory that preventive care does not save lives, What about the other forms of preventive care?

That is your stance is the article says it can instead of it will? Come on.

You are using one test in PSA testing? What about the Cervix cancer. Hey Dave, Did a PSA test save your life?

Unequivocally yes. It was red flag. Of course there was further testing done to confirm.

To be fair, I know a guy that scores of the charts with the PSA test and does not have prostate cancer.

IMHO every man at the age of 50 should have the test.

You would be a fool not too.

Obama’s approval rating fell to 41 percent, down from 46 percent through the first three months of the year and the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC News polls. Just 42 percent approve of his handling of the economy, 37 percent approve of how he is handling the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and 34 percent approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia.

He is not the best guy to be telling the people about it. He seems confused as to what was in the bill unless he wanted to get caught lying this easily

that high? what's the matter with people?

BleedingPurple · Apr 29, 2014

I am going to hope they continue to tweak this thing and I will deem it a success or failure as time passes. The sky isn't falling.

20,000+ pages of regulations, 159 bureaucracies, boards and programs, over 1 trillion in tax hikes, Big Government red tape as far as the eye can see...

That’s going to take a colossal amount of tweaking!

What's perhaps more telling is that, despite the rare good news of the past few weeks, their perceptions of the law remain basically as-is -- that is, pretty dim. To wit:

Americans say 50-41 that the implementation of the law has been worse than they expected rather than better.
They say 44-24 that the health-care system is getting worse rather than getting better as a result of Obamacare.
They say 29-14 that the quality of care is getting worse rather than better.
They say 47-8 that their health-care costs are increasing due to the law rather than decreasing.
They say 58-11 that the overall cost of health care in the United States is increasing rather than decreasing.

Uh oh: House committee claims only two-thirds of federal ObamaCare enrollees paid first premium by April 15

WH won’t release enrollment data, tells GOP to ask insurers. GOP asks insurers, WH disputes data. GOP asks WH for data, WH won’t release.

That about sums up this clown show.

As of April 15, 2014, insurers informed the committee that only 2.45 million had paid their first month’s premium for coverage obtained through the federally facilitated marketplace.

What % of 8 million is 2.45 million again?

According to Jerry Bonenberger of Babb Insurance in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, “small employer groups with less than 50 full-time employees are experiencing an extraordinary increase in their insurance premiums for 2015. In one case, a professional services firm with 42 full-time employees received an 87% increase in their premiums for next year.”

"For enrollees ages 18 to 34, just 25 percent had paid.

In a state-by-state breakdown, the data shows even less people have paid. In Illinois, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Texas, roughly or more than 50 percent of enrollees had not yet paid for the first month."
