So what happens when you put your healthcare in the hands of an expert community organizer?
First he lies about what he promises...and then gives you junk.
1."'Substandard" and "cut-rate" is what President Obama calls the health plans that millions of Americans have lost, even though they wanted to keep them. Backpedaling on his promise that "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan," Obama is now telling Americans another whopper: The insurance they can get on ObamaCare exchanges is a better deal.
2. Don't believe him. On the exchanges, you may no longer be able to use the doctors and hospitals you prefer. Many exchange plans exclude the top-drawer academic hospitals...
3. ...the law says exchange plans must cover care at "essential community providers ... that serve predominantly low-income, medically underserved individuals." (Sec. 1311c(1)C) That means clinics, public hospitals and hospitals largely serving the Medicaid community.
4. Medicaid-level care is, sadly, "substandard," to use the President's word. A review of the experiences of nearly 900,000 patients undergoing eight different surgical procedures found that Medicaid patients were 50% more likely to die in the hospital after surgery than patients with private coverage....one of several studies proving that Medicaid patients get worse care than patients with private insurance.
[Hey....remember Democrat Alan Grayson: "If you get sick in America, this is what the Republicans want you to do. If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: "Die quickly."
Gee....another Democrat lying. Was he a community organizer, too?]
a. ...many of the plans being offered on the exchanges are Medicaid with a private label slapped on them. The McKinsey Center for U.S. Health System Reform reports that Medicaid insurers are playing a large role in the exchanges.
5. Just as many doctors refuse to accept Medicaid, they are also refusing to accept exchange insurance. In California, a Blue Cross plan on the exchange covers 47% fewer doctors than Blue Cross subscribers in California currently get. In New York, only a quarter of physicians have decided to take exchange insurance, because the payments are so low.
6. All the plans offer the "essential benefit package." Customers currently have no other way to compare than on price.
That's despite the law's promise that exchanges would list each plan's quality rating and disclose which hospitals and doctors are covered. (Sec. 1311d(4)D) and (Sec. 1311c(1)B). Why isn't this information provided, as the law requires?
[What!! Another 'L-I-E' from the community organizer administration??? Who coulda' guessed?]
7. Cancer patients whose plans are canceled are getting whacked hardest. They are losing access to the specialized cancer hospitals and oncologists treating them. And they will get meager help, if any, paying for innovative cancer drugs that cost thousands of dollars.
[ Can you say 'Death Panel'?]
8. ObamaCare's Section 1311 gives the secretary of health and human services blanket authority to control how doctors and hospitals treat patients. All in the name of improving "quality."
9. [And what did we tell you about rationing??? Here it comes....] ...your care will be standardized by the federal government with an eye to reducing what you consume and how much it costs.
10. Yet the President claims that people losing their health plans and having to sign up on the exchanges will be getting a better deal. Losing your doctor, shopping blind for a health plan, settling for Medicaid-level care and government controls, all for a premium 41% higher than before and with a deductible that's doubled?"

And a great big 'thank you' to the same folks who voted for this and the foreign policy failures too!
That means you...the one scrubbing the "Obama/Biden" sticker off your bumper.
If you voted for the Liar-in-Chief, you should, at the very least, have to wear a big red "D" for dope until 2016.
