I THOUGHT OBAMACARE WAS GOING TO REDUCE HEALTHCARE COSTS

So let me get this straight. Obamacare was supposed to reduce healthcare costs by $2,500 per year per family (Obama told me so), cover 30 million more people, be neutral to the deficits, reduce bureaucracy, and put the insurance companies in their place. What we know for a fact is that the annual cost for family coverage is $1,700 higher than when Obamacare was passed, only about 15 million more people will actually be covered, it will increase our deficits by trillions, its 2,700 pages of rules, regulations, penalties, fines, and mandates will triple the bureaucratic nightmare of doctors and patients, and has enriched the sickcare industry causing their stocks to soar. And this is before the fun really begins in 2013 and 2014 with new taxes, fees and fines on the way. I’m sure the thousands of new Obamacare IRS agent enforcement officials will surely improve our healthcare efficiency.

Thousands of doctors are just throwing in the towel and retiring. Small businesses are going under, not hiring, or converting their employees to part-time. Large connected businesses and unions are using their lobbying clout to bribe their way out of requirements. This law is shaping up to be the biggest clusterfuck in history. And that is saying something. But don’t worry. When your appendix bursts next year, your local Obamacare Urgent Care Facility will schedule you for an appointment in 3 months.


Inefficient Health Care Bureaucracy Costs Physicians $27 Billion Per Year

Everyone knows that the U.S. health care system is inefficient. This hurts both the nation and the employers that offer coverage to their workers. But a new study by researchers at Cornell University and the University of Toronto claims that the average U.S. physician pays $61,000 more in administrative costs per year than their Canadian counterparts.

the health care system was efficient and inexpensive before the government got involved. doctors would make house calls and folks would pay there bills. now we are afraid of lawsuits and folks think they deserve free health care. so now we all suffer. WHATEVER

Liberalism always produces the opposite of its stated intent.

Remember folks we (collectively) voted for this....maybe you did vote for another candidate - but you didn't do enough to ensure the 'right' candidate was successful.

Obamacare hasn't done anything it fooled people into thinking it was going to do. Like all the imbeciles who believed they were going to be "entitled to healthcare." It's healthcare "coverage" you are not only entitled to but forced to purchase now because your idol obama kissed butt of the insurance companies. Prez Brown Nose is appropriate. Now all you imbeciles without the proverbial pot to take a leak in will now have to buy insurance, then you will be in need of more entitlements such as food assistance and housing help. In the meantime Prez Brown Nose is controlled by the banks and has his head stuck up the butts of other wealthy individuals who benefit to the tunes of millions a year by holding gov't contracts to food/housing assistance. And the whole while you fell for Prez Brown Nose being for the little guy. HaHaHa-in reality he hates you. You are peons to him. He's laughing at you fools.

Even the people who passed the bill and advocated for it DIDN'T know what the bill said. Thats a FACT. Those "leaders" should be imprisoned. If they choose NOT to go to prison for failure to do the ONLY JOB they are paid to do, then hanging them would be my second choice. In public.
