It is quite wrong to blame Obamacare. For years the conservative position has been that poor people do not deserve healthcare and should be just left to die. That position was proved again in Texas when the first US Ebola case was sent home with a bottle of worthless pills. -----And now that cynical, some would say evil, philosophy has come back to bite everyone. Even the most unrepentant conservative on earth must now see that the policy of just letting sick poor people die in their hovels threatens to bring down civilization itself.zzazz wrote:Then cite the oppressive governmental regulations and bureaucratic intrusion that impede the development of new pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and antibiotic drugs. Ask them if in their hearts they really believe that Obamacare, and the federal government is really going to develop a vaccine for Ebola?

Over 214,000 Doctors Opt Out of Obamacare Exchanges http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/barbara-b ... -exchanges
Over 214,000 doctors won't participate in the new plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA,) analysis of a new survey by Medical Group Management Association shows. That number of 214,524, estimated by American Action Forum, is through May 2014, but appears to be growing due to plans that force doctors to take on burdensome costs. It's also about a quarter of the total number of 893,851 active professional physicians reported by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

4. HHS requires that insurers cover customers for an additional 90 days after they have stopped paying their premiums: the insurer covers the first 30 - but, it's up to the doctor to recoup payment for the last 60 days. This is the number one reason providers are opting to not participate in the exchange plans. Currently, about a million people have failed to pay their premiums and had their plans canceled.

Are doctors suppose to be slaves? and pay for the privilege? Are people going to be forced to become doctors to provide care? That would be slavery.

Are people allowed free choice and individual responsibility? or are the people the state's cattle? You do know how cattle are treated don't you? They are protected , feed, housed ( barn ), given free medical care, monitored for their over all health, educated ( shown were food and water are ) --- and then slaughtered. Do you want to be treated like cattle?
