ObamaCare is a rolling disaster ... every time we go down the road, we get hit with another catastrophe ...

Americans are among the most mobile people on earth, but ObamaCare may soon start freezing them in place. Millions are losing their health insurance policies and being forced onto the ObamaCare exchanges, where most plans only provide local medical coverage. As Americans realize they must pay for all non-emergency medical care when they leave their home county, their decisions may have a profound impact on the real-estate market, particularly the second home sector, and on the travel business.

Americans already know that ObamaCare means higher premiums and a shrinking roster of doctors. But they have not yet realized that ObamaCare plans are not portable and will impede their ability to travel.
What happens to those plans to send the kids to live with the grandparents for the summer, when little Josh needs to keep up with his allergy shots? What decision will a family make when Dad needs to move to start his new job, while the kids stay behind to finish up the school year? What kind of financial pain will be inflicted on American contract workers, who rent a hotel residence for three months while they complete a project? And who will buy a vacation home when the costs include out-of-pocket medical expenses?
Moreover, ObamaCare may soon start impacting access to emergency room care. With Americans no longer able to receive routine medical services when they travel, will they start showing up in emergency rooms for sore throats and backaches? And how will these new throngs of patients affect the waiting time of people with genuine medical emergencies?
"I have 35 years in the industry, and I've never seen anything like this," the New York insurance broker told me. "ObamaCare is a rolling disaster. Every time we go down the road, we get hit with another catastrophe."

Pure slavery for the peons.
Devastation is what he came into office to accomplish.
drip, drip, drip,...
That’s exactly right, BenLurkin.
And my health insurance I had for years was a poor plan? At least I got to go where ever I wanted & knew that I was covered.
The illegals won’t care.
Every state has Medicaid.
Obamacare is a prison from which there is no escape. All who enter will die by committee decision. Give up all hope, and all your earthly goods. You are in Obama’s hands now.
Obama Care WILL devastate INDUSTRY PERIOD…..
Insurance has always been a rip off
that is why the government has to force people to buy it
4 years after the 0bamacare law was passed and the news media is just **NOW** uncovering that its new health insurance isn’t as portable as Americans’ old policies?!
Journalism is dead.
ROTRFLMAO!!! NOW we find out you dont have insurance if you travel????? LOL and NO ONE NOTICED THIS BEFORE NOW???
OMG what a frakking disaster!
“The illegals won’t care.
Every state has Medicaid.”
This is exactly what this is about.
The vast majority of citizens signing up are going right into Medicaid and government dependence.
Obamacaid.
Where you retire now will be based on your health insurance, if the insurance does not allow you to go outside your network, you are stuck in place. I’ll find out next year when employee mandates kick in. This has got to piss a lot of people off. On the other hand, Florida may not see many New York snow birds.
That's what the Democrats want you to believe. Those evil insurance companies are the problem. The government will save you.
ROTRFLMAO!!! NOW we find out you dont have insurance if you travel????? LOL and NO ONE NOTICED THIS BEFORE NOW???
Pelosi said it had to become the Law of The Land so we could see whats in it!
It was reported in the Seattle Times that the estates of the new Medicaid enrollees will have to payback all of the costs incurred prior to the patients death!
Nothing for Obama to worry about. The media will either bury the news or blame the Republicans.
