Obamacare’s Narrow Networks Will Make People Furious.

I called my Doc today to make a simple appointment, (physical). The receptionist gave me the 3rd degree about my insurance. She wanted to know if I was Obamacare (which I'm not). She said that I must bring a current insurance card with me on Friday (my appt). I asked her why the questions and she said my Doc is not seeing Obamacare patients. She said the paperwork would require him to hire at least one new admin person, and he was convinced he would not get paid than his 2013 rates under private insurance. So, less revenue and higher costs. She also said that she would ask the same question every time I called for an appointment because (her words) over a hundred million potential cancellations this year when the Employer mandates start taking hold. (I have employer coverage.)

I then asked who she was referring Obamacare patients to? She said "nobody".

Here is a Washington Post article regarding the issue.

    Obamaniacs (such as yourself) missed one thing; fuck up something that actually directly affects an American, and that American will hate your guts. (You obviously missed Machiavelli in school.) "Everyone deals in their own self interest." Nick Machiavelli, circa 1500.

    Only 5 million have gotten cancelled so far. When it gets to 100 million, expect an armed revolution.

    Plus, you obviously missed the sig line, infra.

    Do you think US citizens should work to support this shit law passed by a bunch of fuckers without our consent and against our will? A law that was built upon lie after lie. You missed the turnoff to Riyadh. Most people object to being forced to buy a product, in this case, insurance. What will they fucking make us buy next with our money - OUR FUCKING MONEY. The mother fuckers already tax us to death. You need to go suck Obama's thingy then DIAFF.

    If only there was some precedent of forcing people to buy insurance. If only.

    Is this a real promise or an Obama promise? The American public will hold you to it.

    That's not true and/or you don't have to buy health insurance.

    I know you're being sarcastic, but you're only required to purchase liability insurance which ensures if you harm someone else's property or person that they'll be taken care of. If you were required to have comp and collision it might be equivalent, but you're not. You can still go wrap your car around a telephone poll on your way home from the strip club without insurance to pay the damages to your vehicle or your body.

    I don't think it's the same thing at all.

    Of course, there are plenty of other insurances you can be required to buy in order to get licensed to do various things - depending on the state you may have to have insurance to cut down trees or do electrical work or plumbing or various other trades. Required insurance for privileges is one thing. I'm not aware of another insurance that's compulsory upon all.
