Survey shows Obamacare making life harder for poor
Under Obamacare, you may have a right to get health care, but with increasing numbers of physicians not taking new Medicaid patients, good luck finding a doctor if you happen to be a low-income patient.
A recent survey of the medical profession found that fewer than half, 45.7 percent of physicians surveyed, are willing to accept new Medicaid patients, notes Joshua de Gastyne, a member of the Young Leaders Program at the Heritage Foundation.
The survey, by the physician search and consulting firm Merritt Hawkins, found the overall rate of acceptance of Medicaid as a form of payment in five medical specialties across 15 metro markets is 45.7 percent. Boston was the highest, at 73 percent, and Dallas the lowest, at 23 percent.

Everything Obama and the democrats have ever done, make life harder for the poor, but the problem is poor and stupid more often than not go hand in hand and the poor haven't the brains to figure out the truth and just keep on believing the shovelfuls of BS shoved down their throats by the democrats.
Until they wise up, they deserve to wallow around in their poverty.
Medicaid is Obamacare.
