Its been a rough couple months for health care workers and Obamacare. We saw a uproar from local Minnesota leaders worried about the rising costs of the Affordable Care Act. In the beginning of May the New England Journal of Medicine put out a study undermining the lefts central argument for expanding Medicaid. We all also got to witness the judges fight to over turn the 12 year and older lung transplant regulation, one of the many Obamacare panels bright ideas. We never ending battle of the left and right fighting over I told you so, and this is how it needs to be. We even have a liberal senator Church Schumer, has admitted that health care cost could "go through the roof" with Obamacare.
The above remarks were followed by Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus who called Obamacare a "train wreck" before announcing his plans to retire. President Obama said in May at a press conference that Obamacare is "working fine" and that It has made health insurance stronger, better and more secure than it was before. President went on to says that there are just a slight details left to be implemented, but we shouldn't worry about those.
Excuse me, there are just slight details left to be implemented. More Shitty healthcare is just what we need-said no one ever. I mean is that not why our own members of congress are trying to exempt themselves and their staff from Obamacare.
Health Insurance Premiums are rising and taxpayers are having to pay for some major expenses that are coming from there paychecks. According to the Government Accountability office Obamacare and Medicaid cost are going to be down falls for the states that are just starting to get their budgets in place.
Obamacare has several things it is changing with our current healthcare. One of the plans for Obamacare is to cover the uninsured by expanding medicaid, but this program is not in any way consider quality care and it is in need of major reform. I believe the reform should be delt with before we expand it. If one is in favor of lowering the debt, creating more jobs and stimulating the economy, then one should be for down sizing medicaid not expanding it. One in five physicians are restricting the number of medicare patients in their practice and one in three primary care doctors with this years cut in medicare payments of nearly 27 percent. Not only does it not benefit the working people, it creates a greater dependency on federal dollars.
President Obama says that the states opposing Obamacare is just political, but it is huge issue. Research shows the 40 our of 50 state will see a increase in cost to this medicaid expansion. Oh wait, they wont just see this increase, tax payers are already feeling with their paychecks they received right after the first of the year. You can't tell me your 2% raise covered your insurance that went up.
Many things, many thing I tell you, I could go on and on and on about. But I suppose i'll stop there for today, I would love to hear your insight! Leave me a message below.
