Every single thing we on the Right warned you about ObamaCare is coming true. And, although the polls imply an admission, dealing with individual Leftists, i.e., Obama voters is like dealing with lying, poorly brought up little children.
One more of the thousand knife cuts:
1. "....at least 20 percent of the new enrollees have not paid their premiums. They therefore do not really have insurance. But even for those enrollees paying premiums, having health insurance is not the same thing as getting good health care, or any health care.
....Most will have difficulty finding a physician.
2. ....newly uninsured workers will either have to enroll in Medicaid, if their income is low enough, or purchase a plan on one of the state and federal insurance exchanges.
3. States are already struggling under huge budget deficits from their existing Medicaid programs. Since states lose federal funding if they adjust their Medicaid eligibility guidelines, their only option for reducing deficits is to cut already-low Medicaid reimbursement rates. Physicians are already reluctant to treat Medicaid patients ....
4. Cutting reimbursements will exacerbate the physician-access problem and could lead to closures of so-called safety-net hospitals that care for many of the poor and uninsured.
5. The ACA requires insurers to accept every patient regardless of risk, provide expansive benefits packages, and eliminate caps on lifetime benefits. Looking to control costs, most insurers are offering exchange plans that severely limit the number of doctors and hospitals patients can visit.
6. Some state exchangesincluding New Yorksdont offer a single plan that covers visits to out-of-network doctors or hospitals. Many people will not be able to see the physicians who have treated them for years, use facilities providing the most appropriate treatment, or access care within a reasonable time and distance from their homes. Some specialty hospitals have been excluded from all exchange plans.
7. Patient choice has been further compromised ....have reported trouble determining which physicians will participate in which plans. Doctors, too, are often unaware whether theyre listed in particular insurance networks and what the reimbursement rates are.
8. .... insurance coverage under the ACA is unlikely to improve health outcomes. The much-noted Oregon Medicaid-expansion study found that new Medicaid enrollees showed no improvement in health outcomes compared with the uninsured. Other studies have shown that Medicaid patients have worse outcomes .....
9. The health outcomes of many exchange patients will suffer....
10. ....but the law is failing in all of its intended goals. ....many patients will find that when they need medical care, the doctor is not in."

As more and more facts such as the above become evident, ObamaCare supporters are revealed as nothing more than lying reprobates with no concern for their neighbors or their nation.
Merely Lock-step Liberals.
