CBS Confirms ObamaCare Would Oust People from Health Insurance and Doctor

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-b...surance-doctor

Just in case you elect to watch the ABC broadcast from the White House tonight selling the Obama plan for Health Insurance - this article points out that many may end up without coverage if this gets done.

Also, part of the savings has Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals going down by 20% -30%.

I recently dealt with an outstanding doctor that decided to drop Blue Cross and Blue Shield because their payments were to low - if someone wanted to use his services they would have to pay out of network costs.

What we will end up with is doctors with last names that are unpronounceable, if you know what I mean. Employers will naturally end up offering the Government plan at 20%-30% cheaper, but will your doctor accept that plan? Doctors are really pissed off even at this point - additional cuts will only reduce the level of service.

I really hope that Obama goes down on this one. Tweak the system, yes. Change the system, no.

Here is one of obama's lies to the complacent masses. HE cannot NOT know that this is a false statement worded to be accepted by the unthinking.

"If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality
health care, if they tell us that they're offering a good deal, then
why is it that the government – which they say can't run anything –
suddenly is going to drive them out of business? - President Obama"

The simple answer and one he FULLY knows is that the insurance companies are businesses. Responsible to stock holders and/or owners to make a PROFIT. Government entities have no such burden. If necessary, they just print more money. No private enterprise could ever compete with that. And if the Government health care plan needs even more money, they raise the taxes on the private companies. COMPETITION? More like assassination of the private market.

BINGO!

Scenario - GOV offers insurance at 20%-30% less to employers - they go with GOV, of course. Doctors, perhaps even hospitals decline GOV insure or cut back services (and care) to be able to accept 20%-30% less. We are doomed.

Why should the Govt. even be in private business, let alone his bragging about how they will drive them out of business. He will just keep printing money until the Govt. runs everything and then nothing will survive.
