The media continues to assure us that everything is fixed with Obamacare now that the website works slightly better, but Americans are experiencing new and different problems with Obama’s program.

And they’re tweeting about it. Here are some I was able to find.

No, you still can’t keep your doctor:

David Prasad @earth2dave2

My old doctor's office is now telling my ACA insurance is not good enough. Now I have to find a new doctor that accepts Obamacare.

Amber @oicStars

I cannot take my child to the doctor cuz I have high deductible & no money. They require pay. Thanks for ruining our lives Obamacare. :(

9:00 PM - 2 Jan 2014

Jordan Davies @jaydavxx

Wow Obama thanks for the health care that now makes it almost impossible for school teachers insurance plans to be accepted at any doctor

“All a prelude to the ‘saving graces’ of single payer.”

Single payor or insurance bail-outs will require legislation. Not even the dictator wannabe will cross that line via executive fiat. Even if such legislation could actually get through congress, the laws of economics would prevail and the US credit rating would plummet, interest rates would rise resulting in a dollar collapse. You simply cannot add a single payor entitlement, the size of Medicaid & Medicare combined, and expect no adverse fiscal and economic consequences.
Meanwhile, as evidenced by the reduction of Medicare reimbursement, and vigorous provider compliance enforcement, it does appear the the regime is intent on cutting Medicare spending. OTOH, it might also simply be a manifestation of the 0-regime’s penchant for elderly euthanasia- killing them softly.
But, perhaps, a total collapse is exactly what the NWO Federal government wants as a pretext to martial law.

If doctors really want to start something, refuse all Obamacare insurance and accept cash only. That would put a major dent in things... It would also be a major wake up call to those who think they have “a right” to their services.

We had something similar with lab work recently.
The bill to the insurance co was $250. The self pay price was $25.

All he has to do is give a speech in front of Greek columns and he’ll be a god again.

What I can’t understand is why the insurance companies weren’t screaming big time when this thing was going down. Were they really so stupid and greedy that they thought the whole objective isn’t to put them out of business?

And the doctors who supported this - just mind boggling. Apparently Dr Nancy Snyderman, NBC came out for single payer. I suppose just because you’re a doctor doesn’t mean you understand economics. But what about the UK system isn’t obvious to anyone who checks it out?

This from the UN International Health Org.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%

England 46%

Canada 42%

etc. etc.

This is why I am now insurance free. Most stuff is not that expensive when you pay out of pocket. And life is risk. :-)

My daughter broke her arm in the mid-1990’s. I had $5,000 deductible so the whole thing was out of pocket. Cost: ~$275

“Yep. The Rats will all rush in with excellent “new plans” to fix all the trouble caused by their “old plan,” blame the Republicans, and the LIVs will fall right in line by November. It’s too easy to predict. “

It may be easy to predict,but your prediction will be wrong.

My friends in Poland tell me an old story of soviet times;

A father and son are walking through the forest when they come upon a razor wire fence. The son asks the father, “Who’s on the other side of the fence father.”

Father says, “We are.”
