TWO AMERICAS: TOP HOSPITALS CLOSED TO OBAMACARE ENROLLEES

President Obama and Democrats are spinning their broken "you can keep your insurance if you like it" promise with another false reassurance: that under ObamaCare you will receive better insurance. Now we are learning that if you have been forced into the ObamaCare exchanges, you will not have access to many of America's top hospitals, unless of course you want to pay out-of-pocket:
[R]esponding to Obamacare caps on premiums, many insurers will, in turn, simply offer top-tier doctors and hospitals far less cash for services rendered.

Watchdog.org looked at the top 18 hospitals nationwide as ranked by U.S. News and World Report for 2013-2014. We contacted each hospital to determine their contracts and talked to several insurance companies, as well.

glad to hear this. Those of us who choose to get off our @sses and get up and motivate each day against the odds, shouldn't have to take a back seat to those who are to lazy ignorant and stupid to do the same. Making us wait behind them for care would only add insult to injury! you get what you pay for, sometimes, and in this case since they are paying very little and we are paying the lions share I'd say this looks about right!

Could be a boon for PRMC -- hospitals in MD are required to accept any insurance by state law. Not sure about VA and DE.

8:09 - Yep could be a real boon for PRMC- if there are enough sheep willing to wait days instead of hours to be seen by the rapidly decreasing staff.

But, seriously, if hospitals can't afford the services at the rates being offered, how can it be a boon to be forced to take a loss more often. Buy a apple for a dime and sell it for a nickle; why buy a whole bushel at a dime apiece and sell them for a nickle each. A real boon(doggle).
