"Obamacare"

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

For gods sake, men should not have to purchase policies that include coverage for mammograms and cpv immunizations.

Well, you obviously hate women, FSD. We all need to pitch in and pay more for insurance so Sandra Fluke can get her "free" birth control, abortions, etc.

at k-s-u's expense, i mean.

I guess I'm just finding it fascinating how he seems reasonable for a bit, but then things reach a certain point and the wheels fall off.  Like, in contrast, FSD is just crap for brains from the get go, which does not interest me.

You don't know me, bro.  But you seem awfully stupid on the interwebs.  Navigator?

i agree, k-s-u is much more interesting than fsd.

I heard a report today that said more people have been forced off their plans in Florida and California as a result of obamacare than people who have signed up for obamacare in all 50 states, combined. . . by a multiple of 10.

I wonder what the resulting cost to the economy and healthcare system will be?

How does the AMA do this school limiting thing?

The AMA is incredibly powerful because stupid people (much of congress) believe anything and everything they say due to the fact that they are doctors.

Having enough medical schools so that anyone can become a doctor might not be a good thing.  I would prefer that only the best get into doctor school and eventually cut me open.

You would still have to be able to pass your coursework and complete a residency. It's not like people would just show up to the medical school, collect a diploma, and start practicing. Even if you could, a system where we make malpractice result in immediate loss of licensure would weed out the bad doctors after they screw up only one person. "Pass 'em all and let Trim sort 'em out" would be a better system than we have now.

Good news everyone, healthcare.gov is back up and running again.

vocal tone of the provider is actually a better indicator of malpractice claims than surgical outcomes.

What happens when all the poors who sign up for insurance decide to stop paying their monthly premiums?

They lose their insurance.

They lose their insurance.

 

Allow me to rephrase:

What happens when all the millions of poors who sign up through healthcare.gov get tired of paying their premiums after a few months and decide to buy a new flat panel TV and extra large bags of Funyuns instead?

Anybody here signed up yet?

a guy on another message board reported enrolling.  california, no tax credit.  cheaper than what my employer pays for me.  be nice if employers would offer a cash out option on their benefit and let employees buy on their own...

Today I enrolled my family of four for $671.86 per month.  This is for the Bronze 60 HSA PPO through Anthem.

hurr hurr poors

hey brock landers, shut the eff up.

I checked those out the first day. The deductibles are really high on the bronze plans as well as the copays. I suppose for a young family it makes sense if you aren't the type to use a doctor for colds and stuff. I suppose the $60 copay will stop a lot of that.

[sys]

my employer offers a really shitty high-deductible/hsa plan.  it's basically the same cost to me as for the plan that pays almost everything that we currently have.  otherwise i'd be just as happy switching to that as switching to a cheaper exchange plan and getting my benefit as salary.

More confused insurers. Chum really needs to get on this. People are suffering.

Do you realize that you're linking the exact same story over and over?  Do you even have a point?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Sys, believe it or not, you could buy health insurance on the internet before obamacare, and in most cases it was cheaper than it is now.  So I'm not sure what your point here is, unless its that you were an ignorant rough ridin' rube.

I agree that you should be able to accept your health benefit as cash from your employer, however.
