I'm also taken by how well the media clouds the issue and keeps the truth of the socialist aspects hidden. I've visited websites in different states and found two things that I can't pinpoint:
1. -It looks like those who have poverty level incomes will get free insurance which is paid for by those who pay premiums. But the real discriminatory penalty seems to be that someone paying $6 or $7,000 a year will have a deductible over $5,000, meaning they will pay cash for most (if not) all of their medical expenses.
Yet at the same time, the guy with no premium also gets by with no deductible, so he rides totally for free. Am I seeing this wrong?
2. -If I am seeing this wrong and there is a deductible in some states for the lowest income policy holder they are going to be surprised to get a bill for the stitches on their cut leg, or their broken wrist. The low income guy who gets treated in emergency after a weekend brawl is going to be hounded with bill collectors and his credit rating will be another deterrent for potential employers if a job market ever materializes. Hope and change rides again...
We are about to see some serious complaining and demonstration with these users finding out they don’t have insurance when they try to get treated. They don’t have insurance because the government hasn’t followed through on payment for the policies or whatever little they have to pay has not been paid, or it has not been acknowledged.
This will be followed by gradual withdrawal of any doctor or hospital worth its salt from these subsidized policies. They will identify which insurers, which types of policies, and which type of ‘patient’ (i.e., a subsidized leech)they need to steer clear of.
This will all push for a “mend it, don’t end it” effort which RINOs will wholeheartedly adopt and embrace. In the end we’ll end up with single payer (government) and we will be left at their mercy (ideologically, politically and physically)
