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.
[Snip]
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."

no
it has always been a ripoff
yes, the government wants people to believe the insurance companies are bad and they are bad
it is risk pooling
I have paid for big auto and homeowners’ coverage for decades and not made any claims.
Did I get good value?
hell no
but others have “stacked” in order to get big bucks from the ins co when they make their legitimate or their false claims and my money helped pay off
do I think government forcing people to buy ins is a good idea
hell no
do I think government does anything right?
government is good at armed forces
that is about the extent of it
Oboplantation. Liberals are too busy attacking their neighbor who are conservative to realize the government is stringing them up. For now it lets them have their houses and SuVs, but sooner or later, whamo.
Rip it out by the roots.
Didn’t the Mafia used to force people to buy “protection” too?
Yep. Right now is with illegals is barely tolerable, but wait when gun control by illegal voting democrats occurs. You get it, hello Rirjuana beheadings and mass graves America.
“Didn’t the Mafia used to force people to buy “protection” too?”
yes, it is a huge racket
But not to worry because that 'will only affect a few high income taxpayers'.
Another plank in the ecofreak platform: Keep folks from traveling by destroying the engines in their cars with ETHANOL (E15) and now THIS little goodie!
A modern tyrant no longer needs to post burly machinegun toting men on street corners. He controls a population with REGULATIONS and PAPER.
Want to work? Need a WORK PERMIT!
Want a place to live? Need a RESIDENCY PERMIT!
Want to travel? (Only on PUBLIC TRANSIT, of course.) Need a TRAVEL PERMIT or INTERNAL PASSPORT!
Want to eat? Need that FOOD RATION BOOK!
And draconian penalties await those who fail to obey the regulations or help others do so. That’s when the burly armed men appear. And they will just be “following orders.” Now where have we heard THAT phrase before??
“That could NEVER HAPPEN HERE,” say you?
That’s what many of you said about Obama!
Well, they are treating us worse than automobiles which are salvageable. We are not. When we are dead we are dead.
In the auto industry you have warranties and liability insurance. I can understand why liability is mandatory somewhat, but warranites? However doctor need liability insurance on the health damage they could do on others. So basically this is to help health liabilities costs for doctors too.
However, what about gays who damage each other? Or drug users who neglect their families?
This whole thing is a nightmare.
LOL! Only a lawyer would call insurance a racket.
Socialism consumes everything
Ssouth Florida relies on snow birds for season. Many people in all industries save through the winter to make through the slim summer. Not to mention how many clinics and doctors that care for them through the winter .
Even with the government doesn’t get much bang for it’s buck.
I was thinking what happens to all those snowbirds that live the winters in Florida and the Summers up north, as far as getting healthcare?
ObamaCare May Devastate the ____[FILL IN THE BLANK]___ Industries.................
It is a racket.
It is a set up so doctors can have huge salaries instead of having to dun people for money o accept chickens as payment
Liberals are back stabbers. They enjoy seeing neighbors losing a house, even if it means being on a government plantation. They are demoralized lying dangerous idiots. They are evil. Everytime they protect Obama and stab a neighbor. Every thing they say is a back stab. They are slutty abortion loving whores.
If a doctor causes a child’s death, guess what, he is liable, but a liberal aborting IS part of the health plan, not of health harm liability protection.
obamacare is the upside down world of health liberals love because they cannot back stab in envy their neighbors and kids if it is not that way.
Repealing Obamacare is a counter revolution. Marxists will betray us in this asking the Chinese for help nuking us. already it probably is all prepositioned by islam brotherhood. Vietnam era traitors, all of them.
Not necessarily. Ever heard of organ donars? Under government-run healthcare, donating your organs will no doubt be mandatory. It's probably already hidden in the fine print on page 3,666....lol. And when the food supply starts getting low, a new nutritious supplement will be mandated by government. Soylent Red.
Government contains those who can do nothing productive.
This is especially true with respect to the Obamadork, who is our ultimate quota baby.
As for Silly-belly-us, she is beyond bimbo.
She is so dumb, she asks amoebas for advice.
I really want to be around following Revolution II, and will purchase front row seats for the guillotine, where I can watch that b*tch’s head bounce.
“Sub-standard” or the new “normal”. America decides Nov 2014. End ObamaCare as we know it. Repeal MadoffCare.
