"My shiny, never used Horizon health card is as effective as a dollar bill during the Great Depression. In fact, an expert tells CNN, “I think of (Obamacare) as giving everyone an ATM card in a town where there are no ATM machines.” According to a study 33% of doctors are NOT accepting Medicaid. Here in Jersey, one has a dismal 40 percent chance of finding a doctor who accepts Medicaid – the lowest in the country."

Ms. Kimberly, allow me try to explain. There is a shortage of physicians in the United States, as compared to most other developed countries. there has been for years. (This as a result of decisions made during the administration of the previous Democrat president! -- "There are fewer physicians per person than in most other OECD countries. In 2010, for instance, the U.S. had 2.4 practicing physicians per 1,000 people — well below below the OECD average of 3.1.")

Put another way -- your President Obama got elected by promising everyone in the 3rd grade class a pony. Indeed most people actually believed him. The problem is -- there aren't enough ponies around. And even if there were enough ponies, there is not enough money to pay for all the ponies.

Oh come on now, underneath all that horse s**t, there’s got to be a pony around here somewhere.
