Financial access to healthcare services has declined over the past two decades, despite the implementation of Obamacare and other government insurance programs, according to a new study.
The analysis, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, traces the drop in access to the rise in premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and other costs, which have weighed against higher insurance coverage. It concludes that "over the past 20 years, the proportion of adults aged 18 to 64 years unable to see a physician owing to cost increased, mostly because of an increase among persons with insurance."
The authors, three doctors, interpret the results as evidence in favor of government-financed healthcare.

If it costs you $10-13K out-of-pocket to get your "insurance" to kick in, how is that an improvement to access?
If you have to use up all the money you have for healthcare just to pay the premiums and meet the deductibles, how is that "access"?
This is a scam. Period.
I get ACCESS. I kept the $10K in my own pocket and pay the bills myself (and have plenty left over.)
Hasn't our Republican Congress openly admitted to sabotaging Obamacare?

No they have not, thats all on the Democrats, every single dollar stolen from citizens forcing them to buy a product they can not afford and then forcing them to pay a tax because they could not afford it.
"..Hasn't our Republican Congress openly admitted to sabotaging Obamacare?"
Why would they do that? It was collapsing all by itself. The built-in sabotage was taking full effect.
