Obamacare failures! Largest health insurer drops out!!!

[jc456]

Aetna to pull out of most Obamacare exchanges
The insurer will stop offering policies on the exchanges in 11 of the 15 states where it currently operates, according to a press release it issued Monday evening. Aetna (AET) will only sell Obamacare products in Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska and Virginia.
Aetna, which had 838,000 exchange customers at the end of June, said its policyholders are turning out to be sicker and costlier than expected.
The company, along with its peers, has criticized the federal program designed to mitigate those risks.

"Providing affordable, high-quality health care options to consumers is not possible without a balanced risk pool," said Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini.
Aetna to pull out of most Obamacare exchanges

See the issue was Obama never understood how health insurance works!
Case in point NOT ONE mention of Tort Reform as a major measure and here is the FACT.
90% of physicians say they order duplicate tests,specialists referrals..at a cost of over $850 billion a year!

http://www.jacksonhealthcare.com/media/8968/defensivemedicine_ebook_final.pdf
90% of physicians surveyed say they order $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, referrals all out of FEAR of being SUED!
--- Emergency medicine, primary care, and OB/GYN physicians are most likely to practice defensive medicine.
--- 79 to 83% of surgeons and OB/GYNs have been named in lawsuits.
"Physicians contracted by the federal government practice significantly less defensive medicine as they are protected against lawsuits by the 1946 Federal Tort Claims Act. "
-- BUT........Only 48% practice defensive medicine compared to 92% of non-government physicians.
Consider that fact that of the physicians interviewed, 52% DID NOT practice defensive medicine!
Who were the doctors that didn't practice "defensive medicine"?
Doctors contracted by federal government!
WHY did these doctors NOT practice "defensive medicine"??? 1946 Federal Tort reform Act!
The insurance companies don't care to argue these claims.
They pay the $850 billion. Simply raising premiums.
So how come Obamacare taxed tanning salons 10% because tanning causes tanning,
but they wouldn't tax lawyers' $270 Billion income.
If educated physicians are telling you they fear lawsuits and order duplicate tests, etc. why wasn't there any effort to reduce the $850 billion spent in duplicate testing,etc. possible?
The reason though lawyers were protected though is almost half of Congress and of course Obama are lawyers!
A simple reduction of the $850 billion a year in defensive medicine claims would have reduced the Aetna's claims cost and again THEY don't care because they simply raise their premiums!
So when Aetna wants to get out of Obamacare it's because they can't make that evil profit...which many of you ignorant dummies hold against Aetna and any other for profit organization...but you are so dumb!
It is out of these profits "RESERVES" are created. Without the "RESERVES" states' insurance regulators won't let insurance companies sell insurance. If the Aetnas' don't make profits ...no reserves... no state allows them to sell! It is that ...f....king SIMPLE but you idiots that are against "PROFITS" listen!
That's the ONLY way insurance companies can stay in the health insurance business.
So have Civilian TORT reform. Reduce the fear of Lawsuits! This WILL LOWER THE $850 BILLION A YEAR OF WASTED DUPLICATE TESTS,ETC.!!!

tort reform, seems I heard that before. Oh yeah, the conservative path getting tort under control.

Why are you opposed to tort reform? My guess, your lack of knowledge about the subject.

I was and am for tort reform.

YOU didn't read a single line of the above! Idiot!! $850 billion a year because doctors are afraid of getting sued by lawyers and you are in favor of continuing
to make lawyers one of the top 25 occupations!
Mean annual pay: $133,470 Number of people who hold this job in the US: 603,310 Projected growth (2012 - 2022): 10%
The 30 highest-paying jobs in America
Why when the FACTS stare you right in the fact are you ignoring the reality that the 1946 Federal Tort Act prevents lawyers from suing government doctors.
So why are you against Tort reform for the rest of the medical community? Ah you must be a lawyer!

Single payer by the way will do several damaging affects all because idiots like you don't THINK!
1) it will destroy 1,400 companies . Put them out of business.
2) These companies have over 450,000 employees... put them out of work!
3) These companies make profits. That pay over $100 billion a year in Federal,state and probably in your area property taxes which will go up on YOUR property!
But you idiots thinking Single payer is the solution... when there never was a problem!
Tax lawyers 10% like obamacare taxes tanning salons due to cancer.. use the $27 billion in taxes to pay a $5,000 premium for each of the truly 5 million that need some type of health insurance!
That is so simple... I guess that's the problem though people like you want to protect Lawyers like Obama! Sad...

I'm saying it is what will happen if obamacare fails. Whether it is the best thing I don't know. But nobody has fixed our current system, so next comes single payer. It is unlikely tort reform would fix everything. Too much greed on so many levels.

 

[Brain357]

A new study led by Michael B. Rothberg of the Cleveland Clinic and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association aimed to measure how much defensive medicine there is, really, and how much it costs. The researchers' conclusion is that defensive medicine accounts for about 2.9% of healthcare spending. In other words, out of the estimated $2.7-trillion U.S. healthcare bill, defensive medicine accounts for $78 billion.

New study shows that the savings from 'tort reform' are mythical
