United Health Trimming Involvment in ObamaCare

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Another major health insurer is scaling back operations in ObamaCare due to unsustainable costs. This is, of course, the inevitable result that those of us who didn't drink the Messiah's Kool-Aid told everyone would happen.

UnitedHealth, the nation's biggest health insurer, will cut its participation in public health insurance exchanges to only a handful of states next year after expanding to nearly three dozen for this year.

CEO Stephen Hemsley said Tuesday that the company expects losses from its exchange business to total more than $1 billion for this year and last. He added that the company cannot continue to broadly serve the market created by the Affordable Care Act's coverage expansion due partly to the higher risk that comes with its customers.

I work for a medical insurance company.

This is not a political decision from insurers.

Certain plans were not profitable last year, and it's easier to just not offer them.

It's not a problem until all of them are not profitable, then the government bail outs for insurers kick in

The plan all along was for Barry-Care to collapse and send us fleeing into single-payer. If Hilly is the next president that will happen.

Time to scrap ObamaCare and go back to what we had, which was better. Implementing single payer in this country is completely unrealistic and a completely idiotic idea.

Time to scrap ObamaCare and go back to what we had, which was better.

Kindly describe what "we" had and why you perceive that it was "better."

 

[JakeStarkey]

Count on single payer. We are not going back.

What he probably means is that "before" his employer gifted him with coverage but, following passage of the PPACA, the boss held a meeting and announced that the company was "hemorrhaging revenue due to Obamacare" and they'd all have to pay for their own insurance from now on.

Or some variation on the theme of "Me, ME, MEEEEEEE!"

It was better in many ways....for many people.

What is so uncredible about that.

It make it possible for many to have insurance who don't have it.

It also is screwing with a lot of well functioning machinery.

Switzerland. Why Did Swiss Voters Reject Single-Payer Health Care? | Labor Notes Not all single payer proposals are what you would portray them as. Universal coverage is what people are aiming for. The US would of course tweak any models and proposals to fit our national interests and needs.

Some of us do not consider the needs of for profit health insurers to be the same thing as our national interests

Yes, too many Americans think they have the right to force others to pay for their health care.

I always love it when some dumb ass hack declares that someone else has no credibility.

Here is our future:

Medical costs will continue to rise, with, or without Obamacare.

Before too long, insurance plans will have premiums too high, deductables too high, and too little benefits, to be a way to pay for medical care.

Doctors will not be able to make any money from the contract reimbursements insurers pay them to see insured patients.

Nobody will be able to pay doctors cash out of pocket.

Bodies will be stacking up outside emergency rooms

The government will have to intervene in the national access to care crisis

And implement a UK style public medicine system, and it'll work poorly because things like that always do in the US.

And going to the doctor will be like going to the DMV

I don't think it has been suggested that it was a political decision. It was described as a business decision. Shouldn't we assume that United Health believes that can't make a profit participating in Obamacare? Now we have to ask, can any health insurer make a profit in Obamacare?
