Californians Upset Over Lack Of Doctors Under Obamacare

Covered California’s Executive Director Peter Lee testified before a Congressional committee about the successes of Covered California.

“It takes, in our mind, three things for an exchange to work. It takes having affordable health plans delivering quality care, it takes effective marketing outreach, and it takes effective enrollment,” Lee said.

Sadly though, Californians newly enrolled in Covered California are facing the grim reality that the care they are receiving is neither affordable, nor quality.

Few doctors are accepting the new health insurance plans, Californians say.

One Californian woman told KPIX-CA, “This is not what we were promised.”

Duh.

I’ve had a lot of people tell me to jump aboard when they hear our astronomical costs. I just tell them I believe there will be huge problems and I am going to try and keep our doctors. I will be proven right and they will be out o luck.

It takes having affordable health plans delivering quality care

I'm not so sure you know the meaning of the word affordable.

But that could change with the stroke of a pen and a phone call.

Joe Wilson was lacerated when he shouted "You Lie." Obama lying about O/Care in the SOTU way back then continued apace---illustrative of his favorite pastime: manipulating public opinion.

==========================================

4/3/14 WSJ--NOONAN: A CATASTROPHE LIKE NO OTHER (WH spin shows a calculated Obama)

SNIP-- Support it or not, you cannot look at ObamaCare and call it anything but a huge, historic mess....utterly unique in the annals of American lawmaking and govt administration.....

.....then-Democratic speaker Pelosi blithely, mindlessly said---but in a way forthcomingly—that we have to pass it to find out what's in it. .... an historic admission that she was fighting hard for something she herself didn't understand, but she had every confidence regulators and bureaucratic interpreters would tell her in time what she'd done.

....for the next three years Democrats would carry on like blithering idiots making believe they'd read the bill and understood its implications. They were later taken aback by complaints from their constituents.

The White House seems to have understood, and lied to Americans in a way so specific, it showed they knew exactly what to spin and how. "If you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan, period."

Your existing policy had to pass muster; the admin would fight to the death to ensure that 60-year-old women have pediatric dental coverage.

....the president's victory lap approach on Tuesday, when he announced the purported 7.1 million enrollees. "The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay. . . . was political showbiz of a particular sort, asking whether the picture given of a thing will counter the experience of the thing.

===========================================

The following stunning Noonan insight made me forget all the things I didn't like about her.

"Pelosi's urgings inspired Democrats, who for the next three years would carry on like blithering idiots making believe they'd read the bill and understood its implications. They were later taken aback by complaints from their constituents. "

The White House, on the other hand, seems to have understood what the bill would do, and lied in a way so specific it showed they knew exactly what to spin and how.

"Keep your plan" of course was the president, misrepresenting the facts of his signature legislative effort. Your existing policy had to pass muster with the administration, which would fight to the death to ensure that 60-year-old women have pediatric dental coverage.

I thought California was the great ‘success story’ of Obamacare and proves that ‘it works’.

“One Californian woman told KPIX-CA, “This is not what we were promised.””

The doctors don’t want to treat you leaches for what pay the government is offering.
