Well, they want to re-distribute wealth, so that's going pretty well early on.

So it sounds like he didn't have health insurance coverage for the treatment he received.

People don't get "Obamacare," they buy private health insurance. The website the government provides is there to establish a single place to shop for private insurance plans that meet the requirements of the ACA and to see if the person is eligible for Medicaid or subsidization.

How many laws like this have been named in pure irony for the decades? A lot of them. They always neame these hunks of shit for what the creators "hoped" would happen. That just never happens.

The Patriot Act?
The Affordable Care Act?

The list is endless.

Politicians like to kid.

They're kidders.

As i have said numerous times - ANYONE - who still supports Obamacare is either lying or is an absolute idiot.

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

Its obamacare's fault that HIS health insurer won't claim him even though he is paying them? Give me a break.

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

Oh and when in the HELL! Should a medical treatment cost 400k!? That's freaking outrageous. That's another thing that needs clamped down on.

Everyone?

I know a lot of people and I don't know anyone that has died or been bankrupted by medical bills.

You said "person eligible for Medicaid"...
How many people were eligible for Medicaid "before ACA" do you think that said they wanted insurance but didn't know they were eligible?

The problem it was to have solved is to make health care so expensive that we would embrace a single payer system where the costs are hidden in taxes on the upper middle class and we all get in line.

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

The only problem with obamacare is it didn't go far enough. The insurance companies need taken over and healthcare prices CAPPED for each medical procedure and medicine someone may need.

exactly, in the ignorance of the left, they want to copy the failed and failing medical systems in the UK and Canada. What these idiots don't get is that NOTHING is free, someone has to pay. But the stupid lefties think it will be someone else. But it won't, they will be paying, and paying more than they are now.

I see we've got a few resident central economic planners in the room. Do you prefer the teachings of Mao, Stalin or Lenin? Maybe a Hitler-eque sort of branch off mixed with some federal reserve style cartelization?

Oh and when in the HELL! Should a medical treatment cost 400k!? That's freaking outrageous. That's another thing that needs clamped down on.

Part of that $400,000 was due to this:
90% of the people that know, say they send to their health insurance companies/Medicare bills for services of over $850 billion a year NEEDLESSLY!
90% of physicians say they order $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, referrals all out of FEAR of being SUED!
Physicians estimate the cost of defensive medicine in US at $650 to $850 billion per year
Health News Observer ? Physicians Estimate The Cost Of Defensive Medicine In Us At 650 To 850 Bill Articles

Part of the $400,000 was due to this:
Here is what a hospital CEO said how he recoups "uncompensated expenses"
"How do hospitals deal with the cost of the uninsured? Like any business, we pass it on to the paying customers.”
From PAGE 1 of this document: http://www.ncmedicaljournal.com/wp-content/uploads/NCMJ/mar-apr-05/Yarbrough.pdf

So was either of those MAJOR causes of the $400,000 bill addressed by ACA?

Obozocare does nothing to cap the cost of medical procedures and drugs. It does nothing to cap outrageous malpractice awards, it does nothing to stop defensive medicine that wastes billions every year.

what it does is make the insured uninsured in order to make a few of the uninsured insured, and in that stupid process, create a huge new govt beaurocracy.

Yes. The new system keeps them alive, just barely, so they can be bled indefinitely. Successful parasites must prevent their host from dying off.

Yeah, because you have it so rough.....

In any other system, you'd be living in a refrigerator box in an alley somewhere fighting stray dogs for your next meal.

Believe it.
