This is part of the San Francisco area, where Obama won both elections by a huge percentage. Obama voters are complaining that Obamacare does not actually give them access to a doctor.

I knew this was coming as soon as they announced the ACA. Many doctors wouldn’t participate and/or would close their practices. Since so many providers are already close to overload, they’d quickly fill up (or even reduce the number of patients they’d be willing to put on their list). On top of that, the ACA was already not going to even try to include all providers; patients were going to get significantly-truncated lists of providers to choose from, and there were many reports that patients wouldn’t be allowed to go as far afield to locate one either (more limited coverage area).

Now it’s starting. These are just the first reports, and more are on the way.

Well what do you want for nothing, a rubber biscuit?

Maybe they should pay twice as much, so they can get twice as less doctors...

These dumb obamadroids are discovering that having health insurance does not mean you are going to get health CARE!

[lurk]

Why the complaining? They’re insured, and that’s all that matters.

[dennisw]

But but but!!!! The rich people were supposed to pay!!!!! And the rest was going to come from Obama’s stash

[goldstategop]

They should have stayed with state Medicaid. Paying a premium for non-existent health care coverage is for suckers.

I have Leftist family members complaining ‘this ISN'T AFFORDABLE’. I usually say ‘this is what you voted for.......no wait, you voted for everybody else to pay for your medical care, didn't you?’? I am TRULY FED UP with Leftist whiners. I warned them they wouldn't be getting the medical care that they were accustomed to........they just wanted somebody else to be responsible. Can someone cue the world's tiniest violin??

Obamacare sucks as do the insurance execs and boards that also betrayed the nation in cooperating with socialism.

Isn’t Vietnam chock full of doctors? There you go!

“What good is coverage if you can’t use it?” Nguyen said.

This is so sad, but yet another prediction coming true. Health "coverage" and "care" are not the same thing. The goal of any serious health reform is not to get people "coverage" but ultimately increase access to quality to actual CARE. That means more facilities, not fewer. Obamacare does the exact opposite. Fewer new facilities will be built, existing facilities will not expand or even scale back because of the law.

However, since this person is "covered" - they count as a success story.

Thinn Ong was thrilled to qualify for a subsidy on the health care exchange. She is paying $200 a month in premiums. But the single mother of two is asking, what for?

That $200 a month would pay for a lot of doctors visits and prescriptions.

It is certain that soon all doctors will be conscripted, required to see 20% of their total patient count who are on one of these sh!tty plans.

Or lose their license to practice.

Good. Let them get bled dry, let them die of neglect, and once they’re all gone we’ll be able to vote their guys out and get our guys in to repeal it.
