Anyone here trying to buy Obamacare?

[trebli]

I don't think many people realize that... I want to keep this thread alive through January... that's when it is really going to be interesting. People without health insurance trying to see doctor's that don't know what the hell is going on themselves. I have about half dozen close friends that are doctor's... they have no idea what is going on! What do you think is going to happen in January?

I'm planning to avoid Obamacare this coming year and go without insurance. I seem to be in pretty good health anyway. I think it would cost less to just pay the $95 penalty.

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.

If a large number of doctors either balk at participating in the exchange or retire, the state’s medical system could be overwhelmed.
No one is more aware of this than Alex Briscoe, health director for Alameda County Health Care Services Agency, which includes Oakland.
“Enrollment doesn’t mean access, because there aren’t enough doctors to take the low rates of Medicaid,” he said. “There aren’t enough primary care physicians, period.”
Briscoe hopes his eight community health centers can handle the 200,000 uninsured individuals he said reside in his county, but he warned that “there is a doctor shortage. It is going to get worse as more people enter the market.”

Time to call it a loss and move on. Noone wanted this and now that everyone needs it...noone can get it. Let's let this die so it can be printed as fun tourist information fact about the USA history in the year 2500.

If they can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions now, just sign up if you're on the way to the hospital. I looked into Obamacare rates in IL, and it will cost me more money, for less coverage with a deductible that's quadrupled, over the plan that I pay for now. I nervously check my mail daily, hoping that my plan isn't cancelled because it doesn't cover me for children that I don't have...or TseTse fly bites, or gender re-assignment, or.....

I'm the caregiver for several of my elderly relatives. That is exactly what I am going through! I know lots of people that have been canceled. Never in my wildest imagination did I think our government would do something like this to the people. This is FAR FROM OVER! Wait 'till January.

CNN Poll: Heath care law support drops to all-time low

Washington (CNN) – Support for the country's new health care law has dropped to a record low, according to a new national poll.

And a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday also indicates that most Americans predict that the Affordable Care Act will actually result in higher prices for their own medical care.

Only 35% of those questioned in the poll say they support the health care law, a 5-point drop in less than a month. Sixty-two percent say they oppose the law, up four points from November.
