Obama: You Might Lose Your Doctor Under Obamacare
The Weekly Standard ^ | March 14, 2014 | DANIEL HALPER

President Obama is warning Americans that they might have to change doctors because of Obamacare:

"For the average person, many folks who don't have health insurance initially, they're going to have to make some choices. And they might end up having to switch doctors, in part because they're saving money," said Obama in an interview with the medical website WebMD.

I did lose my daughter’s endocrinologist. And her father’s health insurance which covered her and her brother got canceled the day after Obamacare activated.

The only reason people will save any money is MASSIVE wealth transfer payments from people who make a decent living to those who suck off the government teat.

My husband, 76, has a multitude of Drs. with his various health problems via an HMO, which is the cheapest medical plan available via his retirement plan and is certainly affordable thankfully. Is it only me, and I hope this does not offend anyone, but do the HMO’s and walk in clinics seem to have a very high preponderance of foreign Doctors. I know they have to pass certain standards to practice here, but I worry they are not on a par with American Doctors and I worry that some of their verbal skills may make understanding my husbands’ verbal complaints difficult for them to fully understand My husband has only been seen by one American Doctor...the rest are Pakistanis, those with Arab names (Mohammed, Akhbar, etc), and Asians. And I notice on their medical licenses they have received their education in various countries other than the U.S. Am I worrying needlessly?

The craft and deceit know no bounds.

The doctor *was* affordable before "affordable" care. How many will need new doctors because Obamacare ran their perfectly good, competent, and ethical doctors out the door to Retirementville?

The new Obamacare-approved doctor (if the insurance actually permits access) will save money all right, just not in the way the patient intended.

Even more money will be saved by glossy vaporcare insurance-cards. Obamacare premiums will buy a plastic EBT-type card, filled with "free" healthcare, but the catch is that the shelves at the government health care supermarket will always be bare, save for some pills.

It's called Obamacare for good reason. Its name is its character.

But you can get one ‘just as good’....from Sri Lanka, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, American Samoas, and the ever-prolific Tijuana School of Medicine. I can’t wait. Maybe I can get one that will give me some real drugs....

He’s still lying, because unless you already voluntarily chose a crappy doctor, you WILL lose your doctor under Obamacare.

Would you buy a Medical Insurance Policy from Hussein Obama?

His sales pitch has been simple:

” WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE YOUR MEDICAL INSURANCE POLICY, I WILL KEEP YOUR MONEY, PERIOD.”

I am surprised he didn’t say, You had crappy Insurance before as well as crappy doctors.
Under Obamacare, your Doctor wouldn’t have been approved because of our high selection standards.

Ah, the miracles of modern science.

We have managed to make a t*rd speak.
We managed to get Harvard to admit it and graduate it.
(But then again, they’re pretty good at selecting t*rds.)

We elected it.

And it has become the best liar in the multiverse...even better than the Clinton duo.

However, it’s still stupid.

I have insurance, have always had insurance because I have always paid for it. Losing my GP the end of March. I could keep him if I wanted to pay $1800 a year on top of what my insurance pays. Lol
He joined some network called MDVIP and that is what they charge. Guess they have to make their money somewhere.

The problem people have on medicaid (an early form of government medicine) is no doctors accept it. None except the scammers. Example: Doctor walks into nursing home - looks at 3 charts - and one patient - leaves nursing home within 25 minutes of getting there - then CHARGES the Government for 'seeing' 600 patients.) Lots of scammers on the downside of government medicine. It's ripe with stupidity. Obamacare will be the same.

But of course liberal elites don't understand any of that because they've never met a real person who was poor - rather than a flack some social worker put up to prove a point... Liberal elites know as much about 'helping' the poor as 'the poor' know about helping liberal elites with their 401K's and in-ground swimming pools.
