The Truth About Obamacare
New York Times wrote:
Patricia Wanderlich got insurance through the Affordable Care Act this year, and with good reason: She suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2011, spending weeks in a hospital intensive care unit, and has a second, smaller aneurysm that needs monitoring.

But her new plan has a $6,000 annual deductible, meaning that Ms. Wanderlich, who works part time at a landscaping company outside Chicago, has to pay for most of her medical services up to that amount. She is skipping this year’s brain scan and hoping for the best.

“To spend thousands of dollars just making sure it hasn’t grown?” said Ms. Wanderlich, 61. “I don’t have that money.”

Obamacare Drives Down Health Care Costs
Tampa Bay Times - Polit-Fact_Check wrote:
"Partly because health care prices have been growing at the slowest rate in nearly 50 years, the growth in what health care costs the government is down," Obama said in a speech about the economy last week at Northwestern University. "Health care has long been the single-biggest driver of America’s future deficits. It’s been the single-biggest driver of our debt. Health care is now the single-biggest factor driving down those deficits."
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/us/un ... c=twr&_r=0

As predicted health care costs are going down ( actually growing slower than previously predicted ) as a result of Obamacare.

There are interesting, and counter intuitive, reasons for this:

1. The Federal Government ( as part of paying for Obamacare ) Stopped providing $500,000,000,000 ( Half a Trillion ) Dollars in subsidies to Medicare Plus Insurance policies as a result Medicare Patients are seeing more restricted networks of doctors and hospitals and much higher deductibles and co-pays, and,

2. Large Corporate employers are voluntarily switching from their grandfathered traditional employer sponsored health care plans, to Obamacare compliant employer sponsored health care plans, and as a result the employers are seeing a drastic reduction in health care costs paid by the employers, as massively higher deductibles, and diagnostic tests subject to deductibles, have shift a huge portion employee healthcare costs on to the employees, which can simply be blamed on complying with Federal Law ( in this case Obamacare compliance ), and,

3. Obamacare allows employers to drop employees working less that 30 hours a week from health insurance, and again, blame it on federal law ( again the law is Obamacare ), and,

4. The six million people who have moved their private insurance to the Obamacare exchange, either voluntarily, or because their old policies were canceled, have seen their deductibles rise to $5,000 per year, per person covered and expensive diagnostic test that previously were not subject to the deductibles, suddenly are subject to the deductibles, and,

5. People from the working class and Lower Middle class are suddenly finding they can not afford to pay the deductibles associated with the employer based insurance, medicare based medicare plus policies, and exchange based insurance policies mandated ( or allowed ) by Obamacare, and members of the working class, and simply do not go to the doctor, or the hospital unless they are on deaths door, reducing diagnostic tests, reducing trips to the doctor and reducing hospitalization, even when the care was advisable, also reduces health care costs overall, and,

6. Reduced network size for exchange policies, employer sponsored policies, medicare plus policies, and medicaid has resulted in health care rationing, and delays in receiving health care services, and,

7. Increased number of patients in Medicaid programs at the same time the providers networks have stayed the same, or shrank, has resulted in health care rationing, and delays in receiving health care services, and,

8, The so-called death panels do exist, and they have extended the recommended time between diagnostic procedures, for many things, such as extending time between colonoscopies for individuals over fifty from 5 years to 10 years, and,

9. Employers shifting health care costs from corporate tax deductible costs, to employee costs, and also employees avoiding health care costs because they can not afford the health care services even with insurance, has resulted in employers paying higher federal income taxes, which under the Obamacare law are counted as health care savings.

It will not matter in a few more years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZsvdg1dkJ4

The green mask and watermellon eco communists will say its only 6 to 10 thousand for deductibles.
By 2018 the .00001 will hire tarp crew to collect bodies as they do in Africa to protect the cloistered regions.
Taxpayers to not exist. The road to serfdom is basically complete.

US workers who try to save the business are the first in line to lose their jobs. Management accountability is gone.
The people who mess up get to keep their jobs; and those trying to retain the business lose their jobs.

No accident to what is coming.... here

snip GD notes: Puerto Rico - Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) The "blueprint " just as before on the sticky wages forumed as was our area was also before. Welcome to what we seen when we watched countless who lost half benefits and one third wages as the taxpayer blindly subsidized the blue prints of plant closing.
Locals note: They are fleeing Puerto Rico for the same reason that everyone else is - decades of dependence on US welfare has destroyed the island's economy and culture. Only criminals and the poor are seen on most streets. This is what "social programs" accomplish.
And now my children you understand why you had been instructed not to join the debt sheep in the educational debt bubble
and other affairs. The enactment of H.R. 2847 came one day after the Senate passed the measure, 68-29, without amending the bill to protect the American worker from losing job opportunities to illegal aliens.

Thank you RC for the facts.

After Guatemala’s ordeal with the U.S. government who deliberately infected people with syphilis, West African nations should be extremely skeptical about the U.S. government’s actions combating Ebola. Professor Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois, College of Law questions the Obama administration’s actions in West Africa. RIA Novosti recently interviewed Boyle and he said the following:

US government agencies have a long history of carrying out allegedly defensive biological warfare research at labs in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is now the point agency for managing the Ebola spill-over into the US,” Prof. Francis Boyle said.

Why has the Obama administration dispatched troops to Liberia when they have no training to provide medical treatment to dying Africans? How did Zaire/Ebola get to West Africa from about 3,500km away from where it was first identified in 1976?”

That’s a good question for Washington, but would the public get any answers? Not anytime soon, since it took more than 62 years for the Guatemala syphilis experiments to be exposed to the public, not by the US government, by a medical historian.

Nothing new under the sun with the voting dullards. Just wait until the sheeple realize that when Chief Justice Roberts declared Obamacare "individual mandate" was in fact a tax and not an insurance premium payment, that effectively releases insurance companies from having to pay any benefits at all whatsoever in return for the tax collecte by them on behalf of the Fed.Gov. Stick that in your liberal eco communist co-workers ears and watch the dawning of recognition in their ovine eyes, or not as I see everyday!

If you come down with Ebola in Liberia today, and you go to a
hospital, they'll turn you away because there are no empty beds. So
you have to go home and infect other people. The American soldiers
will not be in contact with patients. They'll be building medical
care centers. 800 of them as I recall.

The Ebola strain that started in Guinea is a completely different
strain than the one in Zaire. The Ebola reservoir is believed to be
bats.

So now you're quoting Russian state media claims that the American
troops in Liberia are conducting biological warfare?

Do you also believe that American warplanes shot down the airliner and
killed hundreds of innocent people just because the U.S. wanted to
embarrass Putin?

Our time we consider here is such a brief interlude. With our duties at hand, we can say very little since
they will never understand anyways. Religion has nothing to do with faith for me. When he whipped the
moneychangers it was a good start to many things.
