Health care overhaul spawns mass confusion for public

"These are the useless idiots who voted for this DUNCE. Our first social equality set-aside president. I'm sure he voted in only to appease the Black people and not because he was experienced enough nor intelligent enough for the job. The dope uses a teleprompter to speak to 6/7th graders."



WASHINGTON — Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and when — the sweeping measure will affect them.

Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors' offices, human resources departments and business groups.

"They're saying, 'Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?' " said Carrie McLean, a licensed agent for eHealthInsurance.com. The California-based company sells coverage from 185 health insurance carriers in 50 states.

McLean said the call center had been inundated by uninsured consumers who were hoping that the overhaul would translate into instant, affordable coverage. That widespread misconception may have originated in part from distorted rhetoric about the legislation bubbling up from the hyper-partisan debate about it in Washington and some media outlets, such as when opponents denounced it as socialism.

"We tell them it's not free, that there are going to be things in place that help people who are low-income, but that ultimately most of that is not going to be taking place until 2014," McLean said.

Adults with pre-existing conditions are frustrated to learn that insurers won't have to cover them until 2014 (though those under 18 will be protected in late September); then they become both hopeful and confused upon learning that a federal high-risk pool for them will be established in the next few months. "Health insurance is so confusing. You add this on top of it and it makes it even more confusing," McLean said.

Beck is going to highlight some of the "lesser known" provisions on his show today. It will most likely confuse people more, but the devil is in the details. I wonder how much they will spend to "reedumacate" the masses who are too dumb to understand 2000 pages of legal-speak and the prez's incoherent babbling.
 
Hell. The clowns that voted for this abomination didn't read it or understand it.

Two thousand pages of expensive bs.

I can see the mountains of paperwork and red tape now.

Oh yeah. Should be loads of fun.

And yet America still stands and our country did not implode as the Republicans hoped/predicted. Color me unshocked.
 
Wait for it Yank.

Do you honestly think folks aren't going to be a little perturbed when they realize their premiums are going up and this clusterfuck of a bill doesn't kick in till 2014??

Once they realize they will be paying more and getting nothing for their dollars I think they will a bit miffed. Oh yeah and we will be sending anyone and everyone to college as well.

Gotta wonder what else is in this bill that the taxpayers will get hosed for???

NOBODY read this monstrosity. Not the Clowns who passed it and certainly not the majority of the American taxpayers.

I, unlike you and some of your brethren on these boards AM waiting for it. Don't you realize that if premiums go through the roof as you claim they will, that in just 2 1/2 years, we can elect a new President who can outlaw this bill with the help of Congress? That is the beauty of our Democracy. Laws can be changed or stricken altogether. Wait for it, Claudette. Chill out and wait for it.

Hope I can afford the wait Yank.

How much have your premiums gone up so far?
 
Nothing yet.

Just waiting for that hammer to fall so I can recalculate my budget.

Unlike the Govt I don't have an endless slupply of money for funding. I have to follow my budget pretty closely. I will take your advice though and chill. LOL
