Report: ObamaCare will be a total disaster

A new report issued by Obama's own experts has confirmed that everything Democrats told us about their economy-killing, debt-exploding, illegal health care takeover was wrong.

Just as conservatives had warned, ObamaCare will actually increase costs while forcing millions of seniors off Medicare and severely limiting access to care.

The findings:

--Roughly 14 million people will lose their employer coverage by 2019 as companies terminate employee coverage (the fines are cheaper) and force workers onto Medicaid.

What was that about being able to keep your existing coverage?

--The cost "reductions" will not be "fully achievable" because millions will be forced onto Medicare, even as it is being completely gutted.

But, weren't Republicans just "fear-mongering?"

--Crushing new fees and taxes on medical device makers will (in addition to killing innovation) "be passed through to health consumers" via higher prices and premiums on drugs and medical devices.

Welcome to "the change we need."

--Funding for the national high-risk pool will be exhausted by 2012, resulting in substantial premium increases to sustain the program, which will "limit further participation."

So much for "bending down the cost curve."

--Forcing millions of people onto Medicaid when most doctors already won't accept it will be "difficult" for the program to endure.

But, isn't ObamaCare supposed to improve access?

--As companies pass on the costs of $87 billion in penalties between 2014-2019 to consumers, everything will become more expensive and we will lose even more jobs.

But, didn't Democrats repeatedly tell us this would be good for the economy?

--It will drive 15% of medical care providers who take Medicare Part A out of business.

Again, how will reducing care (this doesn't even include the 45% of doctors who said they would consider leaving the profession if this insanity passed) while adding millions of patients improve access?

--Severe Medicare cuts would drive roughly 50% of seniors out of the wildly popular Medicare Advantage program...again, contrary to everything we were told.

What do you know? Tea Partiers really are better at reading Obama's legislation than the news media or Obama himself.

With God's help, may it ever be so.

ObamaCare will be a total disaster - just as Obama IS a total disaster.

Obamacare was never about healthcare.

For anyone to sit down and completely redo the health care system in the United States, fix any quirks, and cover all the needs of the citizens, making it affordable, it would take many more people and years upon years to complete...then it would still have to be tweaked.

This bill was completely about "takeover"...takeover of healthcare, takeover of the budget, and takeover of America.

I'm still reeling from the purported healthcare "emergency" that we were supposed to have had. It went by and I didn't notice, I guess. There were several months in the past couple years I was without health insurance, but I paid my way until I finally got employment that offered it.

Repeal it ASAP, or we're doomed.

This is exactly what the Keyan wanted. His solution will be a full government takeover.

Every single aspect of ObummerCare is laughable, and false.

Because once it’s in place you can never get rid of it no matter how bad ...

Just like Canada, and the NHS>

Did you know John Lennon’s famous round spectacles were free,

and only took 10 months for the NHS to provide them to him?

And that they were made of steel?

And they would have cost a whole $10, but the government provided them for free??? After only a 10 month wait???

Isn’t that great?

Isn’t that what everyone wants ??? Is this why when Italian politicians or Canadian politicians want urgent top quality health care, they fly to the USA ???

I have other amazing stories if you are interested (hat tip to Zorba the Greek)

Another good post 2nd Div Vet !!!

"Report: ObamaCare will be a total disaster"

They're just now figuring this out?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[HighlyOpinionated]

Obama’s Masters want to destroy the USofA and create a “dependency model” like any good Third World Country.

I contend Obama is just the spokes person; that Bill Ayers is the speech writer and reason Obama can’t speak lucidly without the Teleprompters. Obama is a Marxist and knows his Marxism, but he doesn’t know “jack” about the US Constitution . . . he’s no scholar. He had his way to Harvard BOUGHT by his Saudi Prince friend Alaweed something.

Obama is not “just” a fraud; he is the epitome of fraud.

Obama is the epic in Epic Fail.

Obamacare = Cash for Clunkers for healthcare.

...except worse.

[Jim Noble]

Disaster is the whole point of Obamacare.

[DontTreadOnMe2009]

Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World.

The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.

Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people:

Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
-

Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
-

Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.

Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!

I think it is about time to ask him to leave.

Not surprised that Obamacare causes problems.
