Aetna to Cut Back 70% on Obamacare in 2017

It is always amusing to see the brain dead deluding about getting medical care under universal medical care.

Only three things are necessary to make healrhcare affordable. Remove well care from coverage. Tort reform. Sell insurance across state lines.
 
Major insurer pulls out of a market, leaves room for smaller start-up insurers to fill the vacuum. Consumer benefits. Bonus: RWNJs have no idea what's happening.
IKR? I have often looked at it form the point of view : If fascism and capitalism fucked, this would be the bastard baby
 
And remember not a single repub in congress voted for this mess. This is 100% a democrat screw-up.

Aetna Will Abandon Obamacare Patients In More Than 500 U.S. Counties

[8/16/16] Aetna said it will reduce by more than 500 U.S. counties its participation in public exchanges under the Affordable Care Act in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.

In 2017, Aetna said it will be in just 242 counties, down from 778. Aetna will remain on-exchange in just four states: Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska and Virginia, compared to 15 states where it operates this year.

Monday night’s announcement comes after Aetna AET -0.41% said earlier this month that it would evaluate all of its individual plans in 15 states. Humana HUM -0.77% has already said it is pulling off most ACA exchanges for next year. And rivalUnitedHealth Group UNH -0.85%, too, is scaling back to three states, leaving AnthemWLP +% and Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans as the main Obamacare providers across the country.

well if govt slaves says so.... :cuckoo:
 
This is good news. Now we can start over and NATIONALIZE health care in America.

The corporations had their chance and they suck even worse than the government at providing health care.
Not the government job, unless you like socialism.

Libtards say so?
 
If health insurance was like car insurance then it would be improved. Your car insurance doesn't replace tires or windshield wipers. You don't file an insurance claim to change the oil.

In addition, if you are a bad driver with accidents you get put on SR22 and pay higher premiums because of increased risk. With the health model if you are higher risk everyone else pays higher premiums so you don't have to.

Who in their right mind want the US Govt. in charge of HC for three hundred million Americans??

Govt. has never done anything cheaply or well in its entire history. Anything having to do with Govt. turns into mountains of red tape, paperwork and long waits.

Not my idea of a good thing and it won't be anyone else's either once they have to endure it.

That makes no sense at all. If the major company can't make money with the advantages it has in economies of scale, how will a new start up be able to fund its losses? You do realize that more start ups of any kind fail than are successful don't you?

ObamaCare is the Biggest Disaster in history

What a complete clusterfuck
Their biggest mistake was making it a mandate punishable by heavy taxation. That's a democrat for you. They are always about stealing from the makers.

Yes. And the corporations have done such a WONDERFUL job so far running our health care system. They are very efficient and charge fair prices too! I couldn't be more happy!

there is no need for insurance companies anymore. They are pushing us into gov healthcare and well just hurting themselves.

Government healthcare can't happen unless the government does it. Don't blame insurance companies for what bleeding heart Liberals would do.

MY insurance company works fine for me. No problems. Why would I support government control of healthcare to fuck that up.

I have no problem with the service MY insurance company provides. When I had to use them, they came through like a champ.

Oh and you think the Govt. would do a much better job?? Excuse me while I stand over here and LMAO.

If it came to pass then you would find out in one big hurry that the corporations weren't bad at all.

Nothing the Govt. touches is cheap or timely.

State programs like large business collective bargaining of employee insurance work far better. Then let each person buy supplemental services for their family needs. Older people don't need pediatric care or birth control. Younger people don't need geriatric care unless they have a parent or grandparent at home they care for. Supplemental insurance should be on a sliding scale. There should be a supplement for those who use alternative medicine and don't like or use medical doctors for anything short of a catastrophic illness or accident.
More urgent care and out patient clinics instead of hospital ERs use help hold down costs. Medical clinics with most specialist and labs in one location and faster service also saves time and money, and patients have all those they see consult each other instead f each separate doctor not knowing what the other is doing or thinking.
Maintaining lower cost of Rx by buying three months by mail for long term meds more lone programs for equipment instead of buying items that will be needed for six months or less. More home care and home nursing visits instead of hospital care or nursing homes.
More paramedic and ambulance services instead of 911 and fire department services needing to be called.
There are lots of ways to cut costs and provide better fast services to patients.
Basic number of annual and sick visits per year, vaccines, annual tests like mammograms and x-rays for everyone including basis eye and dental visits then each person can add to that as their needs change.
Maybe instead of whole states, even large counties and even major cites can negotiate their own deals or shop around for better prices and coverage.

And you can't wait until after an accident to go get insured. Or be on your parents plan until 27 yo.
