Obamacare Is Just Medicaid for Everyone

- Rick Ackerman -

I am sure you are correct, but it is different than Medicaid in few other few key areas, as well - namely in the costs. Medicaid costs recipients next to nothing. This cannot be said for Obamacare. I now have Obamacare, which I signed up for to avoid the punitive taxation, not as a matter of personal choice. Now when I go for a doctor visit (something I avoid if at all possible), I pay $60 up front for the visit and am later billed at least $30 more. This is just for the office visit. If the doctor sends me to the lab or for an x-ray I pay $60 to the lab and $60 to radiology for the x-ray. I pay far more for medication through Obamacare than I would pay if I went to the local CVS and paid cash for it, sans insurance. Lab tests are similarly costly. I ALWAYS later receive a bill with additional costs for every visit I pay to a doctor, which also includes additional costs for the lab work and sometimes for pharmaceuticals. This brings the up-front costs of using the system to the level of those paid by the uninsured, if not greater. This is in addition to the ever-increasing monthly premiums and the vague, byzantine threats of escalating tax consequences for either avoiding and/or being in anyway involved in the system. My general view of Obamacare at the moment is that it amounts to political extortion and is just another way to bleed and successfully impoverish the middle class - the fast track to 3rd world conditions within the US, as you describe.

They are going to start shunning Medicare patients as well, since an implicit goal of the Affordable Care Act is to squeeze physician and hospital payments down to Medicaid levels. As... Read More
