During his golfing vacation at Martha's Vineyard - President Obama had been slicing off the tee on every hole. He asks his Scottish caddy if he has noticed any obvious reasons for his poor tee shots, to which the caddy replies: "Aye, there's a piece of shyt on the end of yer driver. " The President picks up his driver and cleans the club face, at which point the caddy says: "No, the other end."

Stoopud fukn fudgepacker.. better for health insurance companies who can double-quadruple premiums, jack deductibles to $12000 and tighten down the ratchets on what they can cover all courtesy of jackassobamascare all the while their stock prices have gone up 350-400%  and of course the corrupt elected political turds would never participate on that insider trading.

...better for the hospitals who have bought up all the scared as jack rabbits primary care practices, "encouraging" them to refer into the bureaucratic, expensive, inefficient hospital systems who can charge 5 to 10X more for tests and procedures compared to same tests and procedures performed in an office or ambulatory surgery center....

..... oh  yeah,  the stoopud fukn elected political turds don't get that since the U.S. economy is 70% driven by consumer spending, that if you take away more money from poor bastard U.S. tax payer through more and more higher taxes and this bullshoot jackassobamscare "tax", they will have less discretionary funds to go out and spend.....   duh,   how much more stoopud can these overpriveleged, overentitled, overpaid elected turds get?

"better for health insurance companies who can double-quadruple premiums, jack deductibles to $12000"

And forcing you to buy the worthless insurance.

 

"better for the hospitals who have bought up"

 

Hospitals are laying off and downsizing. With high deductables and higher premiums people are force to cut there healthcare spending.

 

"since the U.S. economy is 70% driven by consumer spending, that if you take away more money from poor bastard U.S. tax payer through more and more higher taxes"

That all part of the plan. May more americans dependant on gov't to survive. Instead of a single payer (for health insurance) the bigger plan is to turn the US economy into a single employer system. All Job will be gov't or gov't contractor jobs. Gotta go Galt!

IF people were better off with the ACA then that is all you would be hearing about from ordinary people.  I don't know a single person that has stated how great everything is now with the ACA.  

IF it worked so well everyone would be clamoring for more of it right away and the people who designed it would be running whole segments of the government and/or private industry.  ACA deluxe, ACA 2.0, A'X'A Plus, A'X'A Industries, AEdu, ASec, etc....

IF YOU aren't happy with the ACA, and no one you know is happy with the ACA, who gives a fuck what Obama or anyone else has to say about it?

Got my tax returns and see that even after making minimum deductions on my W-2, my accountant says I still owe over $5,000 "partly because of Obamacare."  I have money deducted from my paycheck to pay for health insurance.

 

Am I gettting taxed because I have a " luxury policy", even though I have usual 5,000 deductibles and 60 dollar copays?

Pray tell, how many times and ways am I paying for this FUCKING OBAMA CARE?

Dude as much as I hate Obamacare- this makes no sense. You don't pay penalties if you have a qualifying plan- which by your own account- you are paying for.

I paid the max penalty- which for me was like 352- or about 2/3rds of one monthly premium. My money will in turn be handed over to the health insurers who will use it to insure people who can't afford insurance like me. Like every other lie our government has cooked up- they call that my "shared responsibility" payment because it's my obligation to fund the health care needs of others.

If you earn less than 100% of the federal poverty level and your state hasn't expanded Medicaid, you're not eligible for the subsidies that would normally reduce the cost of the monthly health insurance premium for an Obamacare plan.

Then, if you don't buy an unaffordable Obamacare plan, the government keeps most or all of your tax return. You're welcome!

This is the fuck-you formula of all time. The whole prospect of fining someone for not buying something that he or she can't afford is sadistic. 

Obamacare is essentially the government's way of forcing you to buy health insurance. 

It gets even more outrageous, though. If you don't qualify for subsidies and you still can't afford health insurance, you have to fill out forms to qualify for an exemption from the insurance requirement. That exemption is the only way to avoid the fine. But the government will decide if they're willing to give you the exemption.

If you're lucky enough to qualify for insurance subsidies and can get health insurance through Obamacare, you'll find that the insurance comes with a high deductible. You first have to meet the deductible before your plan will begin covering your health care expenses... You're welcome!

It's 400%-not 100%- of the Federal Poverty level or around 45k. This year they get 1% of your taxable net income which was 352 for me. Among qualifying exemptions from the penaty is a utilities turn off notice. Just don't pay your utilities for 45 days or so- and then just before they turn your power and heat off- pay your bill. I am planning to do this in May. It should save me around 704 dollars on the 2% penalty next year. You can't make this shit up.

Everyone should have to or not get insurance just like your car before it too was mandated and prices went through the roof.

When I have to bring a kid to the doctor, we pretend that we don't have insurance.  Just yesterday in fact.

Why? First of all, the local Pediatrician doesn't accept my UHC plan. And if don't have insurance, we get a 50% cash discount.

$75 for a 10 minute consult hurts a lot less than the $140 they would've charged me if I claimed to have insurance.

 

So what exactly am I getting for over $10k per year in premiums?  Oh yeah, nothing.

"Affordable" Health Insurance does not translate into "affordable" Health Care

 

$900 is a mortgage payment just to pay the $12k in narrow networks.

And it still left 30 million uncovered who get taxed for the "priviledge" of refusing to pay into a non-price regulated market.

In Japan, they pay 30c on the dollar.  In other words, the U.S. medical system is 70% rents, at least.

If U.S. is normed to Germany, a white population, then it is 50% rents (50c on the dollar).

Everybody is whining about Obamacare, but nobody seems to notice the medical/insurance monkey with his hands deep in our pockets?  Way to go U.S., you’re the mensch.

So, where are the losses?  It is armies of bureaucrats at Dr. offices filing papers with another army at Insurance companies.  Medical is two warring bureaucracies making heat and wasting energy.  It is also enormous regulatory burden…this burden supercharged with ambulance chasing lawyers and get rich quick- quackery schemes.  These schemes have the effect of spreading costs onto everybody, and making economy inefficient. 

More losses:  Inability of economists and planners to understand that medical is a mixed market, and hence any rules/laws regarding this market should follow that template.

Government pretends medical is a pure inelastic market, and hence should be government owned, and private industry pretends medical is pure competition and fully elastic.  Both sets of rentiers are wrong, and hence average person has to suck it up and pay.

Medical in U.S. is a circle jerk of rentiers trying to game the system so they can take unearned gains, meanwhile heavy costs are spread around through insurance premiums and cause high prices.
