As I have said OVER AND OVER AGAIN, The Plan All Along...
Remember the ACA (Affordable Care Act)? Yeah, they still haven't repealed that yet. Are they ever going to? - Originally from my blog WindUpRubberFinger - 03/17/2014
I have for a long time stated that Obamacare is nothing but the entryway to Socialized Medicine in America. Harry Reid has said the same.
Reid said he thinks the country has to “work our way past” insurance-based health care during a Friday night appearance on Vegas PBS’ program “Nevada Week in Review.”
“What we’ve done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we’re far from having something that’s going to work forever,” Reid said.
When then asked by panelist Steve Sebelius whether he meant ultimately the country would have to have a health care system that abandoned insurance as the means of accessing it, Reid said: “Yes, yes. Absolutely, yes.”
Dr. Kenneth L. Davis, CEO and president of Mount Sinai Health System, the largest health care provider in the state of New York, said that starting next year, Mt. Sinai will begin offering its own Medicare Advantage plan. It will look for other opportunities to bring premium payments directly into the hospital system, rather than filtering them through insurance companies.
Davis said he expects organizations similar to his to move in the same direction. “Inevitably the large systems are going to move to take part of the premium dollar,” he said.
For both non-profit systems like Mt. Sinai and for-profit systems, he said, retaining more and more of the health care premiums paid by consumers is essential to providing a full spectrum of care. He said that his system’s St. Luke’s Hospital in New York runs a psychiatric program that loses $14 million per year.
It’s “not sustainable,” he said, so the system needs to cross-subsidize the money-losing services that it nonetheless must continue to provide, with income from more profitable services, such as orthopedic surgery.
It's not profitable by design. Removing the insurance end of the deal has been essential to Obamacare since the beginning. The end result is Socialized Medicine/Single Payer... That means that the government will be calling all of the shots between you and your doctor.
Obamacare/The Affordable Care Act has been a fraud since the beginning. I just wonder why so many people are willfully ignorant.
What do you think?
UPDATE:
The planned killing of United Healthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson, is an example of precisely what Obamacare/The ACA was designed to do. Regulate the insurance companies to failure (on the back-end where it’s not publicly visible) then blame the outcome on the insurance companies.
Once enough people are pissed, they’ll demand that someone come in and fix it. That’s when the government steps in and says, “We can fix everything with a single-payer government run health care system. Oh, and we wrote this 4,000+ page bill in just a few hours.” 😉👉
Sure insurance companies have always denied claims, but since Obamacare it has become much worse. What the end user doesn’t see is that the ACA requires insurance companies to cover things that were never covered before. While that might sound like a good thing, it’s not — because there’s no way to spread the risk.
Insurance (in general) is all about spreading risk amongst a large enough pool of policy holders to still be profitable. Health insurance used to work that way as well. It no longer does, now it works like a giant wealth redistribution plan. That’s what the individual mandate was all about. They already knew that the Obamacare system wouldn’t work without the individual mandate. Obamacare was really all about getting the regulatory control system in place.
Bottom line, insurance companies are going to keep degrading and reducing coverage so long as government has near total control of the health care industry.

And pointing at the NHS in the UK doesn't help. Government wants to control everything, even if that means we all die.
No doubt. If any remembers, Hillary pushed this. Sise track..how many government employees carry a communist party card? Is there any way to find out? How many x employees do? Hillary, Obama, Bill, Bush's, Kerry, etc, Barr?
