Obamacare Expansion: Fascism Here We Come
Hospitals, doctors, insurance companies and employers join forces to push Biden Obamacare expansion plan. Pigs at the trough - oink! oink!
Here we go again - Biden administration spending $50 million to push Obamacare special enrollment period
Biden administration likely to roll back Trump’s expansion of short-term health plans (escape hatch from Obamacare)
Trump rule allowing states to exit Obamacare exchange in 2022 might not take effect under Biden
HHS pick Xavier Becerra has a record as Obamacare’s top defender that presages more top-down control of healthcare ahead
Turns out that all those articles trumpeting how so many more people were signing up for Obamacare because of COVID were FAKE NEWS - final number lower than previous year and a far cry from the 21 million we were promised would want this turkey
Preexisting conditions whac-a-mole - this feature of Obamacare has produced backdoor discrimination: narrow networks, skimpy expensive drug coverage, and coverage drops. People with conditions ranging from hemophilia to hepatitis are complaining.
Why is individual health insurance so expensive? Because of Obamacare’s community rating, essential health benefit requirements, mandated preexisting conditions coverage, and other onerous regulations, that’s why
Obamacare was a big lie: "The fact that you're going to be able to keep your doctor; it's going to lower your health care costs; it's going to increase your quality -- those were all lies. That did not happen. In fact, it was quite the opposite."
ACA promised better coverage at lower cost. Instead, premiums sky-rocketed, deductibles spiked, most counties went down to one or two insurers, and enrollment never reached half of what was projected
More than a thousand taxpayer-subsidized Obamacare exchange plans cover elective abortions. This violates the Hyde Amendment and means that taxpayers are funding abortions against their conscience.
Bankrupt Illinois becomes first state to give free healthcare to illegal alien seniors; no word on where the $50 million a year is supposed to come from. #Unsustainable

- I have witnessed the complete perversion of business in my lifetime. Big business used to be reliable allies for freedom. Not anymore. It’s much easier to be handed government-guaranteed customers than it is to compete in the free market. There’s a name for the merger of business and government. It’s called fascism, and it doesn’t end well.
- Dems using COVID as cover to expand Obamacare subsidies now
- Making it so the middle class can’t function without the help of the federal government may buy votes for Democrats but it’s ruinous for the country
Here we go again - Biden administration spending $50 million to push Obamacare special enrollment period
Biden administration likely to roll back Trump’s expansion of short-term health plans (escape hatch from Obamacare)
- Restricting short-term plans “will deny affordable coverage to hundreds of thousands of Americans, including those that desperately need it while they're temporarily out of work because of the pandemic”
- Individual Health Insurance Markets Improving in States that Fully Permit Short-Term Plans
- Short-term plans not only save policyholders oodles of money, they force insurers to offer better Obamacare-compliant coverage
Trump rule allowing states to exit Obamacare exchange in 2022 might not take effect under Biden
HHS pick Xavier Becerra has a record as Obamacare’s top defender that presages more top-down control of healthcare ahead

“If the Affordable Care Act Can’t Cover a Little Girl Battling Cancer, What the Hell Good Is It?”

There will be more Obamacare insurers next year, but participation is still below its peak in 2015 and 10 percent of counties will still only have one insurer. #ItsNotWorking
Article pushes Medicaid expansion for a problem Obamacare was supposed to fix - health insurance remains unaffordable, so millions go without it. #ItsNotWorking
Virginia man finds Obamacare created the worst of all possible worlds - hi premiums, hi deductibles, and far fewer choices. #ItsNotWorking
Look for Medicaid to get a whole lot more expensive in a Biden administration which plans to jump on board the Social Determinants of Health train and lard up the program with housing, transportation, and ponies for Christmas
Oklahoma voters mandated Medicaid expansion in June, but just voted down using tobacco settlement money to fund it, so the state still has no idea how it’s going to pay for it
Missouri sees a budget disaster coming; voters demanded Medicaid expansion but legislature has yet to tackle how to pay for $200 million budget hole
Medicaid expansion proving expensive for North Dakota; Governor wants to cut administrative costs and provider reimbursement levels
Federal government blowing $100 billion a year on Medicaid recipients who are not eligible

True Story: “Obamacare is Making Everything Worse”
“My kid has cancer and ObamaCare is making everything worse” - crushing premiums, no pediatric cancer care, insurers disappearing mid-year, what a mess (see video here)
Woman hit with Obamacare clawback for leukemia treatment after she gets employer insurance
The headline for this story should have been: “Obamacare Prices Going Up in Parts of Illinois”. Check way down in the article and you’ll see what I’m talking about. #WheresMy2500
Yet another study shows emergency room use going UP, not down, under Obamacare. Obamacare increases demand for doctors, but supply did not go up in rural areas. #TheyWereWrongAboutEverything
Another problem Obamacare didn’t fix - catastrophically high medical expenses: high premiums and out-of-pocket costs a factor. Doctor surprised, but he shouldn’t be, that Obamacare didn’t live up to its promises. #WeToldYouSo
Georgia dumps Obamacare exchange starting in 2023; will implement reinsurance #ItsNotWorking
Obamacare’s Cycle of Doom (is there anything to like about this stupid law?):

Obamacare’s Cycle of Doom (is there anything to like about this stupid law?):
- The old system would charge you more if you had major medical problems. But it was still cheaper than the cost of health insurance today. We have more “coverage,” but narrow networks. More than 90% of National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers are out of network for some or all health exchange carriers in their state. The Affordable Care Act is on track to cost taxpayers $1.8 trillion over the next decade, much of that going to pay insurance companies for healthy enrollees who need massive subsidies to afford the coverage that the ACA made much more expensive. The only winners from ACA are health insurers. They raise their rates every year, and more and more people who are forced to pay for others who don’t have to are dropping out, creating an endless cycle of cost increases.
