But, we FReepers knew this...and did our level best to warn others...three years ago.

Well, how else did any one think they were going to make health care affordable? If people die at 50 they've saved around 30 years of expenses.

Of course they are not going to let the “little” people go to places that are actually effective. That's just for your rulers, celebrities, and rich guys doncha know?

Ah. Yes. Steer the once haughtier masses to the infectionary neighborhood clinics when they may be assayed and normed by the ward bosses and community organizers?

...steer them away from hospitals that are considered too expensive, or even “inefficient”

Perhaps the word they are looking for is "competent." Competence is often expensive. People who are competent usually became competent in order to make more money. Top medical centers have high quality, expensive staff.

I find it fascinating that many socialists don't seem to care at all about competence. They want free medical care for all, but they never want to discuss quality of care. "That's elitist!"

I also find it fascinating that the socialists seem to assume that doctors and others working in health care will be happy to be demoted to socialist perks. Did a single doctor go ever to medical school in order to to help Democrats be elected?

Your doctor has retired early because of Obamacare, but don't worry...we've found replacements.

We had to have MD Anderson Cancer Center for my husband twice. The first time was for a Melanoma on his arm and MD Anderson in Texas which was just 40 miles away in Houston, is the premier place for removing Melanomas and this was a large one. His company medical insurance paid for it but we were out personal money due to having to spend a few nights in the MD Anderson hotel connected to the hospital by an upper level walkway. It was expensive.

The first time we had to stay there, I thought I was in Saudi Arabia. We were almost the only ones dressed in American Clothes. The rest were in fancy Arabian type clothes with the draping fabric around them. That is where rich Arabs go for cancer treatment. We all got along well since cancer was why we were there. We all helped each other with loved ones in wheelchairs. Cancer is an equal opportunity disease whether you are American or Arab.

I think I would burn down the insurance company if they wouldn’t pay for that surgery. Several years later he had lymphoma and we went to an MD Anderson clinic no more than 10 miles away. By that time he was on Medicare and it paid the bill.

If they take away MD Anderson from Medicare, there will be Texans ready to burn down Medicare. This truly will be killing people, but this article isn’t concerned with Medicare, they are talking about anyone with insurance.

If insurance companies won’t pay for MD Anderson, then MD Anderson will fold and go under. That is unbelievable.

Who can blame these facilities? The brainless leftists that wrote the law gave everyone a 90 day grace period for non-payment. They aren’t desperate enough for business to eat the costs of non-payment.

I have come up with a motto for Obamacare:

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

Translation: "It is sweet and fitting to die for your country."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_et_decorum_est_pro_patria_mori

I think I'll use it as a tagline

Yet Obama tells you the private insurance plans were somehow inadequate. What a lying scumbag.
