Government Healthcare in the United States. We're Already There - And Here is What It Looks Like

Government-Sponsored Programs Make Up 52% Of What We Spend On Healthcare - Government-sponsored programs provide either health care or health insurance to the elderly, poor, veterans, military families, federal employees, uninsured children, American Indians and Alaskan Natives, refugees who resettle in the U.S., individuals with substance abuse and mental health issues and inmates in federal and state prisons.

Today’s typical Medicare beneficiary will have paid into the system just 13% to 41% of his or her expected Medicare consumption.  The rest is funded by payroll taxes paid by today’s working Americans.

My Wife's Losing Her Obamacare Coverage Because The Insurer Lost $400 Million. So she eventually chose a 2015 plan almost identical to the 2014 plan she had with the same insurer—except the deductible went up from $2,500 to $6,000.  Oh, and it cost 50% more for that policy. And that was her best option.

A Race to the Bottom in PPACA Exchanges. The primary way insurers attempt to keep premiums down in Obamacare is by forming networks of any doctors who will accept the lowest fees.  Some exchange plans are paying doctors less than Medicaid pays. Blue Cross in Dallas, for example, pays some doctors 10% less than Medicaid’s fee. If insurance buyers were forewarned, that would be one thing. But no exchange plan is advertising that access will be worse than it is for Medicaid patients.  The Obamacare plans aren’t grouping together doctors who know each other and practice together. They are simply throwing out a low price and taking every physician who will accept it; devastating a patient's ability to get continuity of care.
