The Downward Spiral of Obama Care (Two Minutes to Read)

1/16/2014

 
This is why in my opinion Obama Care won’t last into 2015 without some radical changes: 1) The program can’t sustain itself. Too many exemptions are going out at least until August. Where is this money coming from? There are several means of increasing taxes to cover this loss of income some of it called fees not taxes but nothing will hurt us more than if they get their way and increase the Federal Gas Tax from $.184 cents a gallon to $43.4 cents gallon with a staged increase over the next three years. They say it’s for roads and bridges but I don’t know where you live but they ask local taxpayers here for money all the time through bonds. The money will be
used wherever they want it in the budget and my guess is on Obama Care.  

The second issue is that the insurance companies have planned on a certain portfolio of customers based on the government’s projections and it’s not being realized. 
They can’t afford to have a majority of their claims come from an older client base because they visit doctors way more than young people and they’re more expensive because of the types of health problems they typically have. They truly need at least 30% of their insured to be 18 to 30 years of age and apparently enrollment of young people isn’t close to what they need; of course this is why they’re spending all this taxpayer money on commercials geared towards young people.  The Administration like Jay Carney laugh at this lack of enrollment like it’s no big deal; if it’s no big deal why all the commercials? 
 
Third, the Obama Administration said they would finance the program mostly through reducing provider fees which isn’t happening. Doctors were already turning down people on government assistance because they weren’t being paid enough by the Federal Government so they aren’t going to go down any lower; this is why some doctors and hospitals refuse to be part of the Obama Care program. 

Fourth, if 30 million more people are to be insured where are all the health care providers coming from? I did my own analysis on General Practioners and their case load would go to 4,000. It’s already taking a long time for me to see my doctor I can’t afford for him to take on anyone else. We should never allow our legislators to vote on a bill that’s over 2,000 pages when the nuts and bolts of the program was over 20,000
pages and they didn’t approve it. I truly find this to be ludicrous. Does this  sound right to you that they vote on a 2,000 page idea in writing and don’t vote on the real legislation which is over 20,000 pages? Can you imagine how dangerous this is? Can you imagine how much pork both sides are getting out of this monstrosity of legislation? Have you heard any Democrat explain where all the people in the medical field are coming from to serve these newly insured?
