The Affordable Care Act is Coming Home to Roost

Enrollment Errors Put Medical Coverage at Risk

 

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that the enrollment records for roughly a quarter of all the people who signed up for health insurance on its website in October and November could contain errors, raising questions about whether those consumers would get coverage in time to pay for their medical care next month.

 

Even now, the administration said, it may be sending incomplete or erroneous information to insurers for one in every 10 people who enroll.

 

The disclosure added yet another complication to a long list of technical troubles that have hampered the rollout of President Obama’s health care law.

Indemnity! Whiskey! Sexy! Will young adults greet ObamaCare insurance salesmen as liberators?

 

This column has made the point before that there are three phases of the ObamaCare catastrophe. Phase 1, the technical failure, might have been avoided had the administration had some basic standards of competence. But Phases 2 and 3 are inherent in the law.

 

 

 

Audits of ObamaCare Critics Just a Coincidence. Uh huh.

Have you ever, in your life, seen someone so frequently, blatantly and blindly stand in front of a microphone announcing everything is fine while the complete opposite is happening while they're speaking?

 

Other than Baghdad Bob, I mean.

The comments in that article are great. Half of them are "It's a new program, it'll take time to work out the bugs. A 25% failure rate isn't that bad." In the meantime, 25% of the people trying to get insurance, won't.

 

But you sure were in a great big damned hurry to pass the law without reading it, because lack of insurance was a major crisis.

The comments in that article are great.

The best NYT comments come at the end of a Paul Krugman article. They're not comments, really, so much as long diatribes by what seem to be mini-Krugmans, offering their own amazing economic insight as though they're all gathered together with their laptops in the same den off Krugman's offices, wearing ascots and smoking pipes while typing nonsense in front of a roaring fire.

You have to like how he uses the word "phony" in describing the policies held by the people who are currently losing the very plans and doctors Obama specifically promised them they could keep.

 

Phony health insurance.

 

Phony scandals like Benghazi or IRS or Fast and Furious.

 

Everything is phony to these guys.

 

It's beyond comical at this point. In fact, it's so easily predictable, even a gatorman can do it.

[IDBillzFan]

As previously mentioned...one of the upsides of Obamacare is it shows you precisely who is happily and willingly choking on Obama's choad at this point.

 

Case in point: Ezra Klein.

What consumers can see on the Obamacare Website is bad enough. The landmines that they can't see are far worse.

 

 

 

Doctors boycotting California's Obamacare exchange

 

An estimated seven out of every 10 physicians in deep-blue California are rebelling against the state's Obamacare health insurance exchange and won't participate, the head of the state's largest medical association said.

 

“It doesn't surprise me that there's a high rate of nonparticipation,” said Dr. Richard Thorp, president of the California Medical Association.

 

Thorp has been a primary care doctor for 38 years in a small town 90 miles north of Sacramento. The CMA represents 38,000 of the roughly 104,000 doctors in California.

 

“We need some recognition that we’re doing a service to the community. But we can’t do it for free. And we can’t do it at a loss. No other business would do that,” he said.

Obamacare

 

 

When Isaac was one year old, a representative from an insurance company called his mom, Kim, and told her that Isaac was getting close to his lifetime limit. At just one year old, he had used a "lifetime" of care. Kim remembers putting this to the back of her mind, thinking, “There’s no way they would take away a kid’s insurance.”

 

But a few weeks later, Isaac’s medical supplies stopped arriving in the mail. A phone call confirmed that Isaac’s insurance company had dropped him.

 

Thankfully, Kim was able to get Isaac new insurance through her employer. A month later, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. And for Kim and Isaac, the new law meant freedom.

 

Before Obamacare, Isaac's pre-existing conditions could have disqualified him from future coverage. Isaac and his family would have had a difficult— if not impossible—time finding insurance that would cover him. And his parents estimate that if lifetime limits were still legal today, Isaac would have already reached his a second time.

 

So, for Isaac and his family, the Affordable Care Act is life-changing.

Today's Cincinnati Enquirer

 

 

 

 

Obamacare exchanges have limited physician, hospital networks

 

As hundreds of thousands of Americans shop for health insurance plans on the new online marketplaces, they’re finding that many insurers have limited their choice of physicians and hospitals.

 

Locally, that’s translated into a smattering of new insurance offerings that leave out top hospitals and doctors, an Enquirer analysis of local plans on the marketplaces reveals.

It's not 50 million. It's more like 200+ million. Obamacare forces changes and imposes additional costs to virtually every health insurance policy that existed. Everyone will pay more except those that paid for coverage independently previously and now will get a subsidy. We didn't need Obamacare to fix pre-existing conditions, coverage limits or to cover "kids" until they are 26. Obamacare makes government bigger and will add to the deficit. As for the previously uninsured, it's no surprise the Democrats simply wanted to fix that that problem by giving away coverage paid for by others or in the case of our federal budget, paid for by nobody.

I say we give the healthy and unproductive 5 years of government support and if they can't become self sufficient at that time, we export them to Mexico.

Thanks for the laugh.

.22 is cheaper and easier, also much more humane. Flick it in the eye and see if you killed the brain activity. If you want to stop the throes a slug in the head will work but it will get messy.
