Obamacare Subscribers Take Big Out-of-Pocket Hits

The Obamacare nightmare never ends as scores of frustrated patients are finding out while paying hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets for doctors visits, and drugs even though they have already paid for their insurance premiums.

People who have taken out policies from state and federal healthcare exchanges are now venting their anger at overwhelmed insurance companies while running into a whole new set of problems following the rocky rollout of HealthCare.gov, reports the Los Angeles Times.

The consumers are spending countless hours attempting to contact insurance company call centers — and often don't even get through.

And even if they succeed, they cannot get their coverage confirmed, they cannot get simple questions answered, and they cannot get the vital identification numbers to receive medical care or get their prescription drugs, says the report.

I hereby institute a new "Liberal first"
policy. Let all of the liberals be the first to enjoy the fruits of their labor and of course their vote.
Once they all sign up and PAY then everyone else may.

I'm 70+ years of age , I've never had a claim for Medicare and have been very fortunate health wise.
However , in October 2013 I did receive a flue shot from the Wic. health dept. assuming it was free.
On Saturday 1/11/2014 I received a bill for 38 dollars from medicare.
$12.00 for the influenza and $26.61 for the lady to administer the shot . The lady took about 2 seconds to give the shot.
That's about $ 1159.00 a minute ,$69,570 an hour. WTF
Of course we all know that she couldn't do 30 shots a minute , so let's say 1 very 5 minutes.
Still that's still $13,908 an hour.
My life is almost over , but I feel sorry for you guys , this obamacare is going to destroy the financial system in this country. As you know , we were a capitalist nation , free enterprise , (NOT NOW).
Good luck with this SOB of a president.
(one more thing , I have had cancer , I have angina , but don't think I'll ever use medicare)
I's dedicated to illegals , and all minorities)
