Doctors have been turning down Medicaid patients for over 20 years, ObieCare has just increased the number that’ll be turned down. One of the most efficient uses of funds to provide health care to the poor would have been to increase reimbursement rates, thereby making it possible to treat Medicaid patients without losing money, but the administration chose to spend that money on things like Pajama Boy ads instead.

They not only designed an inefficient, low quality, badly managed system, they also screwed up in the areas where they might have done some good.
