Republican death panels

[Chris]

Thousands of Americans will die as a result of red state governors’ refusal to expand Medicaid and extend health coverage to their states’ neediest citizens, according to a study by researchers at Harvard University and the City University of New York.

The study found that a projected 423,000 diabetics will not be able to adequately manage their disease. Some 659,000 women will not receive mammograms and 3.1 million will not get necessary gynecological checkups like pap smears.

The lack of early intervention and preventative care means that patients will only seek medical help when they reach the acute phase of illness, when treatment options are fewer and negative outcomes more likely.

"Harvard" and "study" used in the same sentence?

OXYMORON ALERT!!!

When the money is gone, not a lot of options are left. I suppose you want them to tax people even more, especially those who lost insurance because of Obamacare and can no longer afford it.

I haven't heard one single liberal express concern for the millions who had their policies cancelled and are now shit out of luck because the new premiums are not in their budgets. More people are uninsured now than before Obamacare, yet the left still clings to the false talking points.

Obamacare also killed jobs and will kill millions more. And you are only concerned with confiscating more money from people until they break. The biggest effect of Obamacare has been to take self-sufficient people and turn them into helpless people with no options. Repeal Obamacare and things would be better than they are now.

Republicans have offered up 150 different plans now, but they have been ignored by the Dems and the media.

We can still turn this around and people would be better off if we scrapped this piece of shit and started over.

Geez here I thought Obamacare covered everyone, oh wait it does.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We need new and Improved ObamaCare!

How many of the "47MM uninsured" now have coverage, 5, 9, 34?

 

[Bloodrock44]

We don't need no stinkin' death panels. We Republicans will just shove grandma over the cliff, remember?

OXYMORON ALERT!!!

I got bitched out just the other day by a dupe yelling at me that Bush was a Harvard grad and therefore not an embarrassing moron. Are you saying I'm right?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Lol!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

If the government had more power, no one would ever have to die!

 

[LordBrownTrout]

If the government had more power, no one would ever have to die!

They got the fountain of youth on page 2,342 of obamacare. I think it got delayed another two years.

The dirty little secret is that Medicade wouldn't have to be extended if it wasn't for the ironically named "affordable health care act" aka "Obamacare".

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Does anyone know of what's being extended where, how long, waivers, exemptions, extended waivers, delayed mandates and so on?

 

[Kondor3]

I can understand why people are bitching about high Medicaid costs, in propping-up both under-performers and the unfortunate.

Then again, I can understand why people are horrified that their fellow citizens should have to go without vital healthcare while down on their luck, at the whim of individual State governors and their legislatures, rather than the Federal government handling its own mess and making good for those who would otherwise be screwed-over.

Are there other healthcare options available on the Federal level, courtesy of ObamaCare, to those in affected States?

Who pays for this stuff?

Shocking. Another dishonest and dishonorable thread by Chris.

Shocking. Another dishonest and dishonorable thread by Chris.

All of his threads are just comical ignorant laughers.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Oh, here's one. Another delay. What a complete failure.

Obamacare passed, with the promise everyone would have healthcare. Democrats own this failure. Totally.

Medicaid?

Despite ?staggering? success, Illinois drops Medicaid fraud finder « Watchdog.org

SPRINGFDIELD, Ill. — Illinois is rewarding a private company that has found more than 200,000 people who should not be enrolled in Medicaid by pulling the firm off the job.

As many as 17,000 Americans will die directly as a result of states deciding not to expand Medicaid under Obamacare, according to a new study.

Researchers from Harvard University and City University of New York have estimated that between 7,115 and 17,104 deaths will be "attributable to the lack of Medicaid expansion in opt-out states" in a study published in Health Affairs.

"The results were sobering," Samuel Dickman, one of the authors, said, according to the Morning Call. "Political decisions have consequences, some of them lethal."
