Are y’all talking about private BCBS cards? Just curious. Thanks.

Geez....that would make a GREAT "Repeal 0Care" ad, John Bonehead/GOPe. Nah, you're all too invested in the payoffs (from your lobbyist buddies) to actually try to repeal this abomination.

“Somewhere a president is playing golf under the warm Hawaiian sun.”

There is a Tavern in the town, in the town
And there my dear love sits him down, sits him down
And drinks his wine ‘mid laughter free
And never, never thinks of me

This man could not care less about the plight of this woman or any other American. So far he’s expressed concern for Skip Gates and Trayvon Martin and that’s it.

He loves mankind, it’s the people he can’t stand.

They’ve double-downed on their enrollment whopper. I heard on an AP news break, today, that the number is now 2 million. I got a loud laugh outta that one!

“How many Americans will die?”

Right, that is the question. Or maybe we need to ask how many of THE CHILDREN (tm) will die.

I read elsewhere that Sebelius has released some video nonsense saying (with guitar music in the background - I kid you not, that’s what it said, don’t know if it’s true, but it probably is) ALL IS WELL!

In our case yes. No cards yet, signed up direcly about two months ago as our, and everyone else’s plan was gone. No worry. I’ve been happy with BC/BS.

I think you are naive. You say you are keeping the same primary care provider and the same specialist, but so what?

What will you do when they - like the hospital here in this story - can’t verify your coverage?

And lets say they do. What will you do when FUBOCare FUBARs up and denies payment to your doctor and they bill you some $12,000 for a specialized treatment? Or some idiot programs you into the $10,000 deductible policy database and you get stuck with thousands of dollars in out of pocket expenses.

Think it won’t happen? Only if you’re naive.

I don’t wish you ill will, but I can’t help but hope that everyone who signed up for FUBOCare gets EXACTLY what they deserve.

What’s the difference what the cost is?
$500, $150, whatever it is she’s going to pay all of it and every cent up to the $4,500 if, as will probably be the case, she needs more medical attention and follow up treatment after the radiology.

This person is living in a dream world. Even if the xray was approved the Hospital would bill the insurance and the insurance company will bill this poor lady the full amount because obviously she has not met the deductible yet. Poor lady is screwed.

There is no healthcare or health insurance in Obamacare. There never was. Kind of like Cuba.

It sure is nice to have the British Press to keep us informed as to what’s going on in this country isn’t it! Our “reporters” are all “wet” about Duck Dynasty and other equally important news events.

“Yup. And a whole bunch of really stupid people are soon going to learn that Obama’s “free shit” ain’t exactly free.”

Even more importantly, a lot of them are going to find out that they have “no shit” at all when it comes to health insurance. I only wished that this pain would have to be borne only by those who voted for these Marxist cretins (including the RINOs). I will bet you that the “shit will hit the fan” this month as thousands try to get medical care and get this kind of “treatment.” Just hope it results in FUBO’s “approval rating” making it all the way down to 30%. Now that’s impeachment territory.
