Obamacare blocks patients paying for treatment (with own money)

A new report by the Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics at National Right to Life warns that one of the Obamacare provisions that ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Americans would discover if Congress passed the bill is that some seniors will not be allowed to spend as much as they wish on their health care.

The extreme position was revealed in a special report by the NRLC titled “The Affordable Care Act and Health Care Access in the United States,” which analyzes four fundamental policy areas of Obamacare.

It finds several ways that the federal health care law “will drastically limit access to life-saving medical treatment under the law.”

“These four areas include: the ‘excess benefit’ tax coming into effect in 2018, the current exclusion of adequate health insurance plans from the exchanges, present limits on senior citizens’ ability to use their own money for health insurance, and federal limits on the care doctors give their patients to be implemented as soon as 2016.”

All of this is just Stalin disgusted in a nice suit, using obscure legalese to kill off all political opposition.

Be sure to file the FBAR, etc., in order to stay out of trouble.

Sorry you lost me here.
WTH is FBAR?

I'm a life member of AAAAAA, so I can't imagine what it could be.

This was buried in Hillarycare as well - $50 000 fine or FIVE YEARS IN PRISON, per violation, for treating a patient (for money) outside “the system”.

This is like Canada and the UK. They just tell you you cannot have a procedure no matter if you are willing to pay for it.

FBAR... legislation requires you to declare your foreign financial accounts. It is filed once per year. Real estate owned in your name overseas excluded (so far). Assets in a lock box that you only have access to the key are exempt so far. Everything else must be reported.

Really, it is not a big deal. I suggest you google it to stay compliant.

Remember all the elites on this board and around DC telling us how smart and brave Roberts was with his decision, which enabled Obozo Care to become the law of this nation?

I never believed that crap: Roberts was, and is, a shithead* — and I'm inclined to think very poorly of anyone defending his decision as good… I can't believe anyone who read the ruling could call it in any way good without being (a) in on it, or (b) mentally deficient/ill.

And don't get me started on [most of] the other Justices, the only one I've seen whose opinions seem to be [consistently] in line with the Constitution is Thomas.
[The Constitution is not what the Supreme Court says it is, for if that be the case then they are of higher authority than the Constitution that commissioned them, and that is an impossibility.]

(*Pardon the language, but the man earned that title.)

Thanks for your eloquent summary of Justice Roberts and his awful ObozoCare decision.
