Voters in November might be ready to show Democrats what they think about removing choice and hiking costs, as well as their arrogance in determining that a few politicians in Washington know better about their choices than they do. Unfortunately, Barack Obama doesn’t appear to have figured out this problem. In an interview with WebMD, Obama finally acknowledged that, contra his promise, people might not be able to keep the doctors they liked, but that they probably shouldn’t have liked those doctors in the first place:

“For the average person, many folks who don’t have health insurance initially, they’re going to have to make some choices. And they might end up having to switch doctors, in part because they’re saving money,” said Obama in an interview with the medical website WebMD.

“But that’s true if your employer suddenly decides we think this network’s going to give a better deal, we think this is going to help keep premiums lower, you’ve got to use this doctor as opposed to that one, this hospital as opposed to that one. The good news is in most states people have more than one option and what they’ll find, I think, is that their doctor or network or hospital that’s conveniently located is probably in one of those networks. Now, you may find out that that network’s more expensive than another network. And then you’ve got to make a choice in terms of what’s right for your family.”

More than one option? Not in Covered California, which replaced preferred doctors with no one at all, or sent people tens of miles away from their own communities for the few options left. When employers changed insurers, moreover, they had a big incentive to find plans that also included their employees’ current providers — the employees themselves, who could walk away from the employer to find better coverage. In GovernmentCare, as Californians are discovering, that option doesn’t exist.

Americans who get health-insurance coverage through their employers have mostly avoided the market disruptions in the rollout of ObamaCare, but that’s probably going to change — and sooner than they think. A survey of large businesses, which should have the greatest stability in the market due to their clout in the market, shows that most businesses have already started forcing employees to pay higher deductibles, or will soon in order to cover the increased costs of the ObamaCare mandates (via the Daily Caller):

I saw the interview. His eyes looked clouded. The fire was gone. The smile was forced.

A lot of doctors either close their offices, or some of them decided they won't accept Obamacare.

How is this much different from having unequal or incomplete coverage
of the population and also of the costs?

It adds even more complications.

I see no reason this cannot be mandatory for people who want to subscribe to it.
Shift ACA over to the Democrat Party as a political pilot test program, and let
Obama and his team experiment at their own expense.

All States should be free to set up their own systems, as Massachusetts
voted on theirs, and people should be equally free to participate and patronize
whatver programs their parties set up. They should get tax deductions so it
counts off taxes to invest in the health care programs of your choice, if that's
how they want to set it up. And let other States and Parties set up their systems, too.

That's good, right?

Just consider this

As bad as it is now, it will only get worse.

Sad indeed, no wonder his smile was forced.

The sad truth is no health care coverage will cure the IQ of the voters who elected this buffoon...

Stupid is a disease that has no cure, and the disease is spreading at an alarming rate...
