Maybe the Republcans won’t have to dismantle Obummercare. It’s imploding all by itself. Another major insurance company is on the verge of bailing. I read in Wednesday’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation that Aetna is considering abandoning Obummercare exchanges. They are losing money. It seems that the only people signing up are sick people. Healthy people are not buying insurance but paying the fine instead which is cheaper than the insurance. And why not? If sumpin’ happens to them, they can then buy insurance since the companies have to insure people with preexisting conditions.
The insurance companies made the mistake of getting in bed with the Dimnocrats. Anytime that happens, someone gets screwed and it ain’t the Dimocrats. Remember back in 1992 during Canklescare? The insurance companies were against it and ran those Harry and Louise ads. Not only did Canklescare get shitcanned, but the Dims lost Congress. The Dimocrats did not make that mistake with Obummercare. They told the insurance companies that they would force people to buy health insurance. The insurance companies asked if they could do that. “Don’t worry”, the Dims said. “We’ve got dirt on John Roberts and he’ll go along”. The insurance companies bought it. Suckers.
Now we have insurance companies losing money. Aetna sez it’s gonna lose $300 million this year. Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Humana, and United Health Group have all lost money and are scaling back their participation in the exchanges. Small insurers are scaling back or are dropping out of the exchanges completely. These greedy fools believed the Dimocrats and are losing money hand over foot. Suckers! When you lay down with dogs, expect to get fleas.
Obummercare has failed at everything except expanding Medicaid which is gonna wind up costing the states and could have been expanded without Obummercare. Premiums have gone up instead of dropping by the $2500 Prez Hussein promised. Not only have premiums gone up but so have deductibles and copays. For many people the out of pocket costs have gone up so much it’s like not having insurance at all. It’s gotten so bad that the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party is no longer calling it Obummercare. They’re calling it tha ACA (Affordible Care Act). In the article I read in the AJC before writing this post it is not referred to as Obummercare even once. That’s how bad it is getting.
What is amazing is that as hated as Obummercare is, the voters still reelected Obongo in 2012. They gave Republicans the House and the Senate but prevented Obummercare from being repealed by reelecting Obooger. Freakin’ amazing! And if they elect Crooked Cankles, she will bailout the insurance companies and the spineless Republicans in Congress won’t do a thing to stop her because at least half of them will be paid off by the insurance companies.
In other words, we’re doomed.
The “so called” collapse of ObamaCare is right on schedule according to Obama’s plan. The private health insurance companies will be sucked into the federal black-hole.
The end-game is a total take over of ALL healthcare insurance in America by the federal government.
I lived with “government run” healthcare in a Socialist country for a number of years.
Need a “new knee”….yea, unless you’re connected (Politician, doctor, lawyer or other government ass-sucker) it’ll be in 4-5 years.
The Government run health service is way heavy with cronyism-driven appointed management types and woefully lacking in medicos. Many doctors are from Pakistan, Bangladesh and other 3rd world sewers and they don’t speak English in an English speaking country.
It’s coming your way folks. There’s NO stopping it. So bend over, put your head between your knees and kiss your ass bye-bye.
Yep! The people will demand that the gummint “do sumpin'”, and that “sumpin” will be single payer gummint run health care. I’m glad I’m old and will prolly be gone by that time. In the meantime, I have enough money that I can pay out of pocket if I have to. Also, besides my regular Medicare and Medicare Senior Advantage, I’m also in the VA system. You can never have enough health care.
The insurance companies knew that Obama was lying to the voters – but somehow thought Obama was being straight with them?
Greed is a powerful emotion.
And of course when it does collapse, those Ee-ville Republicans area going to get the blame.
But… but… but… I was still hopin’ my cost was gonna go town by that 2.5 grand a year. You don’t mean Obambi lied? Why, if’n I’d saved that money I wuz all ready to send it to that Nigerian Princess as a good faith token so she’d trust me enough to send that 78 gazillion rubles that Putin was givin’ her to escape from Darth Vader and his team of midget wrestlers who had kidnapped her.
