Unfortunately, running private practice physicians out of business is the real goal behind Obamacare so that large centralized medical institutions ACO's can be formed to replace them. Read more in my book Heaven Or Health
@cajun812 The side currently in university and getting an education that will allow me to get a good job, a middle class lifestyle and the ability to put money into a healthcare system that I may or may not need but will definitely help others with the money I put in who would otherwise not manage to even survive. The side that has the option to go onto a family private healthcare plan but refuses because I trust the Government with my safety more than businesses.
@HobbsO The same government that has run a nation $15.3 TRILLION in debt? The same government run by "cunning, ambitious and unprincipled" politicos whose sole advantage in life is continuing to increase bureaucracy by taking from the contributing contingent of society to give to the largely leaching side that has caused the inescapable situation we're at now!? Pure lunacy!
@cajun812 The reason we're in this situation is because no-one stopped the banks from playing with everyone's money and loaning to each other until one fell through creating a hole of debt that caused a chain reaction throughout the US and Europe. Now people can't pay because banks are calling in loans. The government HAD to give the banks money otherwise every single one would have fallen through. In other words Bush caused huge debt not socialism.
Why is the audio at 1:24 garbled? It looks like the audio portion of this video has been altered/garbled (intentionally?), preventing the viewer from knowing exactly this person is saying.
By the way, has anybody noticed that the title of this video suggests it will be a critique of Obamacare, yet the video never mentions the new law at all, and furthermore, according to the chronology given in the video the troublesome events mentioned occurred four years ago, long before Obamacare?
@massmanute Yes but they're on about the government subsidizing people through medicare and medicade and not paying the doctors so the doctors have to resort to not accepting either. Just sounds like crap to me though.
@HobbsO but HobbsO, although you are supposedly replying to my post you actually don't address the point I made, which is that this video does not say anything about Obamacare, despite "Obamacare" being in the title for the video.
payments go thru faster that way. no mistakes every line on a form filled in, if no answer, give N/A. not applicable. that way this system can work to the best of its ability. claims processors must check every facet and is the reason some payments are upheld. crucial to have every aspect accurate and matching the claim for which it is being submitted for. Again, quality control, is job one. cant stress that enough.
I would however suggest a doctor be registered, hav their grades registered with the system, and the credibility issues addressed for what they are, our gov. makes sure they are doing job one and that sometimes means it takes time to process all facets of a payment. again, the system is new, it has been overburdened and it can work, it takes everyone submitting to get that payment thru. matching claims, numbers and complete quality control efforts to process a claim properly. make sure claims A+
@boxerpup7 Would you also suggest the thousands of government-paid workers are also screened and tested periodically for their qualifications - such as being gramatically proficient, up-to-date knowlege of the myriad government forms and procedures and background/supervisory checks needed to counter the huge amount of medical fraud?
whether military or the civilian atmosphere, the wealthy treated first in a civilian aspect or military treated first in a veteran based atmosphere, is there any difference? no war is necessary, it is how it should be when regulations are followed hte way they should be followed. experiences are job one, i have good ones and i have negative ones. No fear our system, just a system that works for what it really is. a system of truth, justice and good practice. i do not wonder wy dr.s wuld complan.
There are truths, there are things that are an over burdened system. sometimes processing can take an extended period of time regarding the number of claims that must be processed. It does seem to me that persons who have endured much to include the civilians that have worked these jobs also for an extended period of time in the civilian atmosphere also be considered for the work they did, and are capable of doing. again, no claim that our troops are not treated however, again, under triage.
with the utmost and all due respect, my truth is love of a system that I know what it is capable of, and at no point in time should there be a discrepancy in regards to a pay scale, paid for treatment of a patient, a doctor is a doctor, a patient is a patient and the reality endures for all that we are inside of a true justice system. love of country, with common sense of making our nation look the greatest it is and can be. with a love to bless, not discredit. One Nation, under God with love
With the utmost of respect regarding our military personel, no one loves more in my opinion, however, there are some things that discern the very chains of command in existance for as long as our military has been in existance. with true love, no doubt. that is what love has to do with it. Equality to the fullest extent imaginable, a system burdened and is it the same and is this how it runs? I personally desire my care, and again, the utmost of respect is due, however, right is right
a troop can argue for pymnts also, to hav yur Dr. pd, frustrations, long waits on the telephone, dieing in the rank & file vs. need, is not a new story. stubbed or broken toe nail, vs. need. needs balance to the fullest extent imaginable. Nothing new or so it maybe exactly the same ole same ole. Our troops & vets require care, however, so too do the gen. population, rank doesnot pull need in a triage setting. however, be a good little Dr. & follow ordrs yur job may count on it. Is this the case?
sounds like a champus program from past veterans or military benefits. is not only a problem for the physician, but also a problem for the patients. Even while in the military, as a soldier, it is a horrible issue to deal with. We should be worried about the nation if this is what it sounds like it is. This is a sad story. I know all too well. When a troop can visit a hospital, three times until a shift change, change is necessary. to aquire triage based needs, rather then rank and file,
i think someone mentioned obama earlier. Why are people always hating on obama? He has given Americans so much freedom, and I hope that he is repaid for that with tens of millions of Mexican-American votes in the Fall. Why do people dislike him? Unemployment is next to nothing compared to what it was in 2008, and the debt is no problem at all. Most countries have worse debts than the USA I think, and Obama promised to diminish the debt so I'm sure he will. why is debt ever a problem anyway?
@martasimeone76 Sorry buddy, but your facts are totally...not facts. Unemployment was at 6.5 percent in November of 2008, when Obama was elected. It is currently at 8.5 percent, and Obama made it very clear in his campaign that it would not rise above 8.0%. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not so if you are, my bad. The United States also has the largest debt of any country in the world, by a long shot. I'm not saying he didn't inherit a bad economy, but Reagan did too, so no excuse.
Democrats should consider voting in the republican primaries for Ron Paul, based upon the national discussion it could create for the notion of international Peace and corporatism.
Even if they don't vote for him in the general election.
Do you Really want Newt or Romney to run any risk of being president? Really?
A nomination for Ron Paul to be GOP nominee at least keeps the possiblity of a warmonger out of the equation.
Wow, with Obama-Care destroying our medical system and our future, everyone should have a bumper sticker saying "Support the Troops" with "Support our Doctors" because we need them.
Most people, when asked about the individual tenants of the affordable healthcare act (AKA Obamacare) people agree that they're good things. Like, preventing insurance companies from ditching paying members when they get sick or healthcare industry reform, spending control, repeal of insurance companies' exemption from anti-trust laws etc. Unfortunately most people have been misled and lied to about Obamacare. Search Wiki for this act, you'll see. It's sensible reform.
@zzsql Most people are ignorant, Most doctors however, when asked about obamacare, are furious with the changes. Of all the current or retired physicians in congress, isn't it interesting that none of them voted in favor of Obamacare? Almost 10,000 Canadians travel across the border every year to receive medical treatment in the U.S. I couldn't even find a statistic about Americans traveling to Canada for healthcare.
i cant wait to get my free health insurance from obamacare...anyone who is against it probably already has health insurance lol...we dont care about you- think about the people who havent seen a doctor in years...think about others less fortunate than you for once lol...does anyone know how i can get my obamacare?
See: "Panty Wad Prolixitoligist George Will Fights Commerce". They're trying to undermine the President's health insurance reform! Good luck, Mr. President!
They should juxtapose this video along side a video of a small child from some ghetto here in the united states with a distended belly from malnutrition. Play the same bleeding heart music to go along with it. Wow! A sob story for doctors! The wonderful Christian right philosophy of me, me, me has spread to fiscal conservatives as well as 3 year old children everywhere.
@TheOldHag What you and most others don't understand is that the doctors will simply stop taking medicare and medicaid and will only take private pay insurance. If this cut goes through there will be millions of people who cannot find a doctor to treat them not because they don't want to but because the doctor simply can't afford to.
@snellcrp elimante all insurers and beareaucrats and keep it between the patients and medical providers. As for those hospitals, specialists, labs, etc that over charge, let them go bankrupt. No more bailouts. Charging people more than they make in any given year should be illegal. Sliding scale based on one's income. You make zero, you pay zero. If you lie about your income/assets, then prisons/fines are applicable.
@shaithis80 The problem with that idea is that patients are over a barrel. If the local hospitals charge too much, they don't go bankrupt - the patients either do without healthcare or get the money somehow. Maybe they will travel, but that's usually not possible; and a new start-up taking on any established business is always going to be be at a disadvantage. And what about anyone whose income fluctuates wildly, due to weather or some such thing? Eliminate paperwork, oversight goes.
@HollyLimbo "elimante all insurers and beareaucrats" is what I stated. Never said elimanate paperwork however, eliminate the middle men where it is just purely a patient doctor relationship. Unless you haven't noticed, ite seems like everyone is taking their cut now from the patient. Insurance takes their premium, then you pay a medical rate and so on and so on. FYI, in my situation I'm not too concerned about living to a ripe old age under this for profit system & don't have major assets.
@HollyLimbo what is really comical is that the hard workers of society which are abused are the ones that are relied upon to do the work you don't want to do. So when they system finally finishes with them and takes what they have or doesn't allow them to advantage, then what do they have to lose. Give it some more time and watch what could happend.
When Michael Moore was campaigning for governement healthcare with another one of his ridiculous documentaries a few years ago, the one question he repeatedly dodged was: who was going to pay for it?
Ask anyone under the age of 30, who still has a job, if they will want the government to take $7.00 to $8.00 out of every $10.00 they earn, and they respond with a kind of stunned look. I haven't encountered anyone so far who does not fall victim to stammering or speechlessness.
@Boris82much if govt wants to take out that much, then the cost of living better be heavily subsidized from apartment to gas to energy usage to medical to food to cost of goods and services. I just don't see that happening.
THIS a loud of shit- stop bitching about government health care when I'm told by my doctor BY LAW that I HAVE TO BUY PRIVATE INSURANCE even though i have my own damn money- you cons are so fuckin blind you dont even realize the "corporate communism" that forces people to buy private health care.
I attended a workshop on Obamacare given by the Volusia County Health Department. they said billions of dollars will be spent creating clinics. My doctors in Pocomoke said they will have to close shop and patients will have to go to these clinics in about 5 years because no one will be able to bear the cost of private doctor visits. We will now have to wait in line and get whom ever we can get as a doctor. I am use to making sure my doctor is one of the best by asking nurses who to go to.
Well I know ways around the system. I was once one of the uninsured, but I found a community clinic that bases its cost on the income of the person. Lets say that a patient only makes less than $21,000 a year with a an uninsured family of 3. . Well their medical costs would be cheaper--something like around $15 a doctor's visit.
Now I am finally insured through my work, but I am glad there are community clinics available to help the uninsured.
@taillebasse1 they do it because they think free market and consumerism is the ultimate path to freedom. but freedom is very relative. when everything becomes dependent on money, how free are you really.
One of the ways to kick back the economy (other than putting an end to the regulation of money by the Federal Reserve) is to make health care more affordable.
there are lots of people that are unemployed. She is doing fine. I am a doctor too, and my education did not cost 350K, that's just because universities in america charge insane amounts, and THAT, is, because republicans believe in free market, allowing everybody to borrow so much money.
hang on: she's saying how much she hates having to fight with health insurance companies to get her money. But that's EXACTLY what Obamacare does: it restricts the rights of health insurance companies to deny claims. So she should be happy with Obamacare.
@timmay301 I hope you realize this isn't a free market economy. It's Keynesian economics with the money supply REGULATED by the Federal Reserve and sold out policy makers. ObamaCare is only keeping the status quo up and running while the Fed takes the liberty of Americans.
@streetz23 liberty sucks. without Obamacare you would be at LIBERTY to pay a ridiculous amount of health care premium, and then be denied the care you paid for on a technicality. Obamacare regulates that and seeks to reduce corruption by health care insurance companies. By mandating all americans to pay for health care, health care is made more affordable.
@timmay301 Obamacare H.R. 3590 gives the federal government specific access to individual bank accounts and medical records as provided by that individuals health plan. The government may monitor an individuals finances and medical records electronically, for the purposes of determining an individuals eligibility for certain programs under the bill.
@GunBroker100 they will not leave anything, they are doing just fine. i'm a doctor. got no problems, not worried netiher. it's small business owners that are taking the heat, and it's rich people that have had the benefit from 8 years bush.
@timmay301 PUH-LEEESE!! If you have an M.D., perhaps a spelling class? DVM, maybe? Anyway, the point was, clearly lost on you, If it becomes too expensive, they will leave their practices. It's already happened in rural America. Doctors have a tough go with a supporting hospital in town. I own a small business, I'm not taking any heat. The rich had 8 years of slick Willy and his gang of morons as well. Who did as much to line their pockets as anyone since. Rich people, cosmetic surgeons? LOL!
@GunBroker100 your own spelling ain't so great either buddy, and DVM's are just as good as MD's. if the doctors are having a hard time, it's because the insurance companies are giving them hard times. And that's because obummercare is giving the insurance companies a hard time - they are letting more people get medicaid and they are not letting insurance companies get away with not funding people's bills. So the problem isn't with the law, it's with the corporate insurance companies.... no?
@timmay301 DVM is as good as an MD,,,,, I wonder what your contemporaries would think of that comparison? Costs have been going up all round,insurance premiums are a reflection of costs, ie you and the hospitals. Perhaps if you lived within the guidelines and stopped padding bills, the cost would come down. But, you have to have a new Porsche every year. And my spelling is fine. No, it's them you, Doc and the hospitals. Freeze it all at 1960 levels, wait, that's England, LOL!!!
@GunBroker100 my contemporaries? that's funny. i think they all respect veterinarians like i do. You see we only have to study one species. I don't pad any bills, i have nothing to say about them. but i do think there is a lot of corruption. I don't make that much money i'm still a resident. I have more than 80.000 debt and i pay 500 a month...
@timmay301 Two years ago, I had an appendectomy. the charges were $123,000 for three days. Your right, the whole medical system is corrupt. How can the charges be that high or a simple procedure? No bill padding? Please. I could have stayed a week in a real nice hotel for a lot less. You'll get in on it I'm sure once your residency is complete and you set up a practice. But, thanks to my corrupt insurance carrier, I paid $380 of the bill. It goes beyond insurance companies, my friend.
@GunBroker100 i guess it does.. three days in the hospital cost more than my entire education. it's extremely difficult to have confidence in our governing politicians when we experience this kind of thing. I do think that obamacare was designed to alleviate the costs of our insurance premiums. As a citizen i feel happy to pay insurance even though i am healthy, so that other may have cheaper care. I know a lot of people feel forced, but freedom is very relative. Taxes are forced too.
@timmay301 If you have confidence in Gov you're delusional. Politicians, regardless their party have one thing in common, ONE, If their mouth is moving they're lying to you. So, still think it's all insurance companies? I never did. I'm not forced to carry insurance, I do it to avoid paying this sort of crap out of pocket. Politicians only care about lining theirs. They could care less if we live or die, only the lose to them would be the tax money they extort from us. Check their portfolios.
Health care has a supply and demand problem. Shortages created by our own government regulations(fewer drugs, doctors/nurses and hospitals) are forcing prices to go up. This is great for the people on the supply side but bad for consumers on the demand side.
obamacare focuses on helping the poor and middle class . This plan puts more taxes on the upper class citizens and business while helping out people who can't afford to pay for medical help. so instead of people sitting around crying because instead of making 250000 annually, now they only only make 210000 annually how about we stop complaining and we try to increase the life expectancy in america.
@thespokentruth1 your ignorant obamacare will run private practice out of business and offer the shitty medical care possible... doctor's offices will run like assembly lines and guess who pays for this plan? the taxpayers duh so they will be better off getting their own insurance if you think this type of healthcare is good look at the uk and canada their system is collapsing the fact is congress should keep their hands off healthcare everything they touch turns to shit eg. bankrupt medicaid
it amuse me how a nation spent so much money on killin enemy yet it cant save it own ppl u came to vietnam and quit hafway wat a bancha quiter u cant even save ur own fat racist ppl wat a disgraceful nation stupid usa
Dr. Boone is the real deal....she lives what she says. She has literally saved me on at least a couple of occasions. Spinal cord injured people like me can easily die of infections that often go unrecognized. Now, I am on Medicare because of severe spinal cord disease... she could easily refuse Medicare and still make a living and I would be screwed. I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude.
Obamacare was signed on March 2010 with 59% of the people disapproving according to a CNN poll. The CBO scored Obamacare on six years of coverage for 10 years of taxes, which is how the CBO showed the bill to be deficit neutral . It’s unconstitutional mandating all citizens to purchase health care. Even Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill, so you can find out what is in it.” watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To It’s also meant to take over industry watch?v=p-bY92mcOdk
@bootylicification it's not unconstitutional at all, ruled by 3 out of 2 fed judges. Polls don't mean shit, by that standard both bush and obama should have been impeached already. Making everybody buy health care is good for americans, it's a hell of a lot better than making everybody pay obscure taxes which then go to conducting war on other countries, and that IS constitutional? pff. it's just a front and you know it.
" I have to say that Doctors make too much money as it is for their services.." It's ignorant comments like these that are a huge part of the problem. There are a lot of great doctors out there who are worth every penny they have worked hard for. It is not only unfair, but extremely prejudice to throw those great doctors in the same pot as the bad ones and demand the government get involved and punish everyone because of a few bad apples. Government is part of the problem, NOT the solution!
After reading the comments posted on this video I have to say that Doctors make too much money as it is for their services. I have received only poor medical treatment since I have been going to various doctors in the U.S. They charge the insurance company 250 and more dollars and a $50 dollar copay just for telling me " in office" that I need to go see another doctor. I think the Doctors deserve what they got !!! They can pay off their study costs in less than 2 years.
@Doboj86 You don't know what you're talking about. Try 4 years of pre-med, 4 years of medical school, and 5-8 years of residency, during which you virtually make below minimum wage. Then come back and say doctors make too much.
@davebex13 I work for 5 doctors in a private doctor facility and all of them are specialists. Trust me I know how much each of them make. Doctors are overpaid. Why would anyone go through so many years of torture if the reward wasn't big? Think about it.
@Doboj86 True, specialists make good money (sometimes - depends on which state they live in and how good they are). Again, I ask you, why is it too much? You yourself conceded that they go through "torture" to get to where they are! Are we as a society now to despise anybody who's had the drive and fortitude to succeed? Medicine is arguably the hardest career to pursue, yet the most useful and vital to society. Doctors deserve more, not less.
@davebex13 All I hear from these doctors regarding Obamacare is " I'm Greedy" , "I'm Greedy".... Think about it, why is it that when you go to a doctor that you pay as a selfpay patient $ 70 dollars for an office visit while if you have insurance the doctor charges over $250 to insurance for an office visit? Bloodwork draw ranges up to 450 dollars or more. Is this amount normal? Not to me! It is too much. Sometimes the doctor can't even help you and he lets you come over and over again.
@hiodr you R ignorant of the situation. Medicare dictates what we charge, then they take their chunk, the itermediary takes their chunk &gives us $6; thats a problem - I can't pay 7 ppl required 2 room all the patients and go thru the quagmire, pay the rent, office & medical supplies. pt wontpay Medical bills they don't want to pay for the service (but they's pay >150 for cigs and ETOH) & have the same attitude you do. WE didn't set up the third party payor, the GOVT did. SPELL RICO!
@treid100182 its all about selfishness. we need to get rid of the military....its not fair that the poor and people of color have to go off and die in wars to promote the freedoms of selfish conservatives who arent willing to do the same. Conservatives arent willing to shell out a few pennies so that all Americans can have the basic right of health care? Then we need to stop expecting people of color to make the ultimate sacrifice in the promotion of their "freedom
@treid100182 I was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of Ulcerative Colitis in October of 2008. In the space of 6 weeks, I lost 30 pounds, so great was the stress on my body. Out "broken" health care system provided me with immediate access to local specialists, and when they couldn't give me any answers, I had access to the *best* specialists in the world at Mayo in Rochester, MN. I'm now healing up quite well.
As a college student I had a lot of pretty bright pre-med friends who switched majors the day this turd was passed. Nobody's going to put themselves through many years of medschool and rack up hundreds of thousands in debt when there's no guaranteed good paycheck at the end. The future of our system is uncertain, but the writing doesn't look good. Plenty of bright people not willing to bet their futures on that. I'm seeing it firsthand. Good luck finding a doctor in 20 years.
Same. One of my friends had already completed 3 years of med school with flying grades and left it behind because of this war on doctors in America. This socialization of medicine and health will ruin healthcare in this country, as well as rediculous lavish court cases and the cost of doctors liability insurance.
Destroying free enterprise is slowly destroying the quality of goods and services. Why are we letting our government get away with this?
@wamyx8Nz those loser friends of yours are just doing it for the money then. I took the oath because it's my vocation not because of such superficial nonsense.
I am 100 percent disabled in a wheelchair and depend on meidcare. Since Obama has taken office I have lost two of my doctors because the payments they recieve are not enough for care. It seems odd to me after having the same 2 doctors for over 20 years that I have to lose them. Wasent it Obama that said if you like your doctors you can keep them? Im proof you can't. I liked my doctors because I have seen them for so long they know my medical needs and history.
@donttelluseenme NOw I been looking over 3 months for a doctor that will take medicare in the specialist field that I need. To no luck yet. This is just going to get worse as time goes on. It is a scarry thing for people like me who actually can not work and are in need of special medical care. Unable to pay out of pocket I worry whats going to happen to me in 5 years from now when NO doctor will take government payment.
quit whining . you people have been ripping off everybody for a hundred years. medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in this country. this whole stinking mess is your fault. you set up this third party payment system. without it, you couldn't survive. no one could pay your outrageous stinking bills without the other parasites, the insurers, setting up their racket. as long as anyone takes third party payment, the ripoff will continue. people need to pay strictly fee for service.
This is the "socialist" response, to present, of the govt. And for those who call healthcare a "human right", I say, yes, and the government has abrogated for millions this very right, by deincentivizing the doctors to treat those economically marginalized patients. The crisis in medicine is not engendered by the free-market-which has effectively been hobbled-it is made less efficient and cost-effective by the State's heavyhandedness.
Soo...this is a video about the negative impact about the new Health Care law...and she doesn't even say anything specific (or even generally) about the law that is bad. Only that MEDICAID doesn't pay out well (which was already a problem, as she's stated, saying that many docs ALREADY didn't take it anymore). If anything, this is a video against the old health care system, not against the HCR bill that was passed.
When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”
“Who’s the bigger fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him?”
I know folks on Medicare who started having doctors turn them down as patients, unless they pay out of pocket. How many can pay out of pocket? They aren't taking any new Medicare patients. -- Also hear companies are debating whether taking the penalty for not covering employees is better than actually offering health insurance any longer.
Sense Governments involvement in healthcare in the 1960s healthcare cost have gone up way above average inflation. Government regulations have added huge cost to the healthcare industry who passed those cost to consumers in higher premiums. Think about this the two most heavily regulated entities are healthcare and education. Both cost taxpayers the most and both are failures.
@bigG010 not really. thats like saying the great depression happened because of lack of regulation if it was not for government interventions more health care corporations would merge and health care prices would skyrocket.
Clearly, it is obvious by now that obama hates the US and Americans. He is set on collapsing our economy and our country.
obama is transferring more power and control to the government forcing people to become more reliant and dependent on the government. Americans are becoming poorer because of obama's reckless TRILLIONS in annual over-spending. Americans will sadly lose more of their individual liberties and freedoms.
Seriously, obama is by far the worst president in US history.
@YouSmellLikePOOO Has it ever crossed your mind that they are all the same and controlled by someone else? Maybe the banking elite? Bush did the bailouts too.
@YouSmellLikePOOO It's not Obama, he's merely a puppet on strings. Check out The Obama Deception on ChagneDaChannel if you want to peak into really what's going on.
@YouSmellLikePOOO really? worst than bush? the man who dragged this country into war? he's really worst than the man who just wants to save you thousands of dollars when you get a heart attack?
@YouSmellLikePOOO There are two problems with this statement: one, health care is not a complete government takeover of healthcare. Two: Obama is not even close to being the worst.
@YouSmellLikePOOO It was the banks that robbed your country, you had your liberties removed when banks were de-regulated. National health works in the uk. Seems to me a lot of americans are selfish and only out for themselves, then have the cheek to call themselves christian!?!? Hypocrites.
Where does she mention Obama Care, or anything in the legislation that was passed? Also she's just complaining about programs that already existed. I'm sure there are many reasons why Obamacare is bad but she doesn't really make a good argument against it. This video targets peoples emotions but doesn't execute any specific/ logical arguments against obamacare.
@framers920 She is talking about medicaid in which under Obamacare 10 to 15 million more people will qualify for it. Medicaid pays Dr $8 for some visits and Doctors wait months to get paid. Many Doctors refuse medicaid because of the low reimbursement rates and slow payment and instead would rather volunteer at free clinics.
Obama indeed seems to be offering a people's government solution to all human problems. He is, after all, running for President of the United States, not for a pulpit. Substituting the state for God as provider has been the inherent common thread in all Marxist regimes.
That tells people that they should stay away from the medical field. Obama will make sure that he screws up our country really,really good b4 he leaves the White House.
I have already experienced, "Free" health care. I have an erupted tooth. I went to a free hospital to an emergency yesterday, because I was simply in agony. They apologized to me and said that Id have to wait a whole day, and they probably will not see me at the end at all. Went to a teaching "discount hospital" no one was there but the receptionist same deal will not see me. Finally I called my families and gathered cash and went to private dental surgeon (continued)
@samuils (continued) He took me in right away, within an hour I was examined with no prodding X-ray machine, some technology I haven't even seen. You lay your chin on a holder while standing, and machine immediately takes X-ray which is directed in to computer. After that he was able to see what was going on, Im scheduled for surgery within a week, since I have to take antibiotics regiment. At the end I do not wish to see "FREE" care, as "FREE' care, for me was NO CARE.
@dudz40 Yes, I live in California, the point of my story was, that if we get more of "free" medicine, my experience will become a norm. And even though I live in the USA, Im an immigrant from ex USSR, and this is exactly what we had there, except there were no private doctors to go to.
@gregvs3 I hear that a lot but it simply is not true. No one dies because of long waiting lines in Sweden or Canada. It doesn't happen. I've never seen it or heard of it from anyone else but the Republicans...
@bigboss686 Let's be realistic here. What you just gave to me is a website totally dedicated to portraying universal healthcare (or socialized medicine as you would call it) as a bad thing. Obviously it's not an objective website. Let's instead look at the real statistics. All the rankings show that the United States has a far worse healthcare system than most other Western countries. And you can make up lies about people dying from waiting lines over here, but I know that that doesn't happen
@dudz40 Dude you are so full of shit its not even funny, that site links to dozens of different newspapers and reputable sources, why don't you stop using ad hominids and deal with the data. yes let's look at the statistics
They clearly show, you don't know what your talking about BTW people do die waiting in lines, not my fault you bury your head in the sand and try to pretend it different.
@dudz40 Far worse at what? I work in healthcare, do you? What about our system is "worse"? The care? My mother had lumber fusion surgery and 95% she had is gone and trust me, there is NO other country she would've had this successfully done in. Either back your shit or quit firing off your little mouth.
@dudz40 Why are many from other countries, with socialized healthcare, coming here for medical care, then?
Didn't a Canadian Prime Minister, or some high mucky-muck from there, just come here for hip replacement surgery, rather than have the procedure where government care is the norm?
Doesn't argue for good socialized medicine, in my book!
Yea, the Canadian dude rushed straight to America to, like, get his heart worked on or something. Owebummer dosen't give a shit about anybody but himself. Power. Plus, when Castro got sick, he didn't have Cuban doc's work on him, they got somebody from Spain to fly in. Whoopie
@ToddonCapeCod bullshit. im a surgeon, and hips can be replaced anywhere. Just one example of some guy that knows a orthopedic surgeon in the states does not mean socialized healthcare is bad. the whole world will have it soon enough, because it's cheaper, more efficient, and the burden is carried by all vs. only the sick.
every corp. and Medical body should all refuse to abide Obama care. Eject and reject, all Federal interference. They've gone completely out of control.
Unfortunately, running private practice physicians out of business is the real goal behind Obamacare so that large centralized medical institutions ACO's can be formed to replace them. Read more in my book Heaven Or Health

payments go thru faster that way. no mistakes every line on a form filled in, if no answer, give N/A. not applicable. that way this system can work to the best of its ability. claims processors must check every facet and is the reason some payments are upheld. crucial to have every aspect accurate and matching the claim for which it is being submitted for. Again, quality control, is job one. cant stress that enough.

I would however suggest a doctor be registered, hav their grades registered with the system, and the credibility issues addressed for what they are, our gov. makes sure they are doing job one and that sometimes means it takes time to process all facets of a payment. again, the system is new, it has been overburdened and it can work, it takes everyone submitting to get that payment thru. matching claims, numbers and complete quality control efforts to process a claim properly. make sure claims A+

He has given Americans so much freedom, and I hope that he is repaid for that with tens of millions of Mexican-American votes in the Fall. Why do people dislike him? Unemployment is next to nothing compared to what it was in 2008, and the debt is no problem at all. Most countries have worse debts than the USA I think, and Obama promised to diminish the debt so I'm sure he will. why is debt ever a problem anyway?

The United States also has the largest debt of any country in the world, by a long shot. I'm not saying he didn't inherit a bad economy, but Reagan did too, so no excuse.

@snellcrp elimante all insurers and beareaucrats and keep it between the patients and medical providers. As for those hospitals, specialists, labs, etc that over charge, let them go bankrupt. No more bailouts. Charging people more than they make in any given year should be illegal. Sliding scale based on one's income. You make zero, you pay zero. If you lie about your income/assets, then prisons/fines are applicable.

@shaithis80 The problem with that idea is that patients are over a barrel. If the local hospitals charge too much, they don't go bankrupt - the patients either do without healthcare or get the money somehow. Maybe they will travel, but that's usually not possible; and a new start-up taking on any established business is always going to be be at a disadvantage. And what about anyone whose income fluctuates wildly, due to weather or some such thing? Eliminate paperwork, oversight goes.

Ask anyone under the age of 30, who still has a job, if they will want the government to take $7.00 to $8.00 out of every $10.00 they earn, and they respond with a kind of stunned look. I haven't encountered anyone so far who does not fall victim to stammering or speechlessness.

Lets say that a patient only makes less than $21,000 a year with a an uninsured family of 3. . Well their medical costs would be cheaper--something like around $15 a doctor's visit.
Now I am finally insured through my work, but I am glad there are community clinics available to help the uninsured.

As a college student I had a lot of pretty bright pre-med friends who switched majors the day this turd was passed. Nobody's going to put themselves through many years of medschool and rack up hundreds of thousands in debt when there's no guaranteed good paycheck at the end. The future of our system is uncertain, but the writing doesn't look good. Plenty of bright people not willing to bet their futures on that. I'm seeing it firsthand. Good luck finding a doctor in 20 years.

Same. One of my friends had already completed 3 years of med school with flying grades and left it behind because of this war on doctors in America. This socialization of medicine and health will ruin healthcare in this country, as well as rediculous lavish court cases and the cost of doctors liability insurance.
Destroying free enterprise is slowly destroying the quality of goods and services. Why are we letting our government get away with this?

I am 100 percent disabled in a wheelchair and depend on meidcare. Since Obama has taken office I have lost two of my doctors because the payments they recieve are not enough for care. It seems odd to me after having the same 2 doctors for over 20 years that I have to lose them. Wasent it Obama that said if you like your doctors you can keep them? Im proof you can't. I liked my doctors because I have seen them for so long they know my medical needs and history.

@donttelluseenme NOw I been looking over 3 months for a doctor that will take medicare in the specialist field that I need. To no luck yet. This is just going to get worse as time goes on. It is a scarry thing for people like me who actually can not work and are in need of special medical care. Unable to pay out of pocket I worry whats going to happen to me in 5 years from now when NO doctor will take government payment.

quit whining . you people have been ripping off everybody for a hundred years. medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in this country. this whole stinking mess is your fault. you set up this third party payment system. without it, you couldn't survive. no one could pay your outrageous stinking bills without the other parasites, the insurers, setting up their racket. as long as anyone takes third party payment, the ripoff will continue. people need to pay strictly fee for service.

This is the "socialist" response, to present, of the govt. And for those who call healthcare a "human right", I say, yes, and the government has abrogated for millions this very right, by deincentivizing the doctors to treat those economically marginalized patients. The crisis in medicine is not engendered by the free-market-which has effectively been hobbled-it is made less efficient and cost-effective by the State's heavyhandedness.

Soo...this is a video about the negative impact about the new Health Care law...and she doesn't even say anything specific (or even generally) about the law that is bad. Only that MEDICAID doesn't pay out well (which was already a problem, as she's stated, saying that many docs ALREADY didn't take it anymore). If anything, this is a video against the old health care system, not against the HCR bill that was passed.

When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”

I know folks on Medicare who started having doctors turn them down as patients, unless they pay out of pocket. How many can pay out of pocket? They aren't taking any new Medicare patients. -- Also hear companies are debating whether taking the penalty for not covering employees is better than actually offering health insurance any longer.

Sense Governments involvement in healthcare in the 1960s healthcare cost have gone up way above average inflation. Government regulations have added huge cost to the healthcare industry who passed those cost to consumers in higher premiums. Think about this the two most heavily regulated entities are healthcare and education. Both cost taxpayers the most and both are failures.

Clearly, it is obvious by now that obama hates the US and Americans. He is set on collapsing our economy and our country.
obama is transferring more power and control to the government forcing people to become more reliant and dependent on the government. Americans are becoming poorer because of obama's reckless TRILLIONS in annual over-spending. Americans will sadly lose more of their individual liberties and freedoms.
Seriously, obama is by far the worst president in US history.

Obviously, companies are borrowing money in the US at 0% interest and investing in China because the RMB is gaining in value.

Where does she mention Obama Care, or anything in the legislation that was passed? Also she's just complaining about programs that already existed. I'm sure there are many reasons why Obamacare is bad but she doesn't really make a good argument against it. This video targets peoples emotions but doesn't execute any specific/ logical arguments against obamacare.
framers920 1 year ago
@framers920 She is talking about medicaid in which under Obamacare 10 to 15 million more people will qualify for it. Medicaid pays Dr $8 for some visits and Doctors wait months to get paid. Many Doctors refuse medicaid because of the low reimbursement rates and slow payment and instead would rather volunteer at free clinics.

I have already experienced, "Free" health care. I have an erupted tooth. I went to a free hospital to an emergency yesterday, because I was simply in agony. They apologized to me and said that Id have to wait a whole day, and they probably will not see me at the end at all. Went to a teaching "discount hospital" no one was there but the receptionist same deal will not see me. Finally I called my families and gathered cash and went to private dental surgeon (continued)

@samuils (continued) He took me in right away, within an hour I was examined with no prodding X-ray machine, some technology I haven't even seen. You lay your chin on a holder while standing, and machine immediately takes X-ray which is directed in to computer. After that he was able to see what was going on, Im scheduled for surgery within a week, since I have to take antibiotics regiment. At the end I do not wish to see "FREE" care, as "FREE' care, for me was NO CARE.

And you can make up lies about people dying from waiting lines over here, but I know that that doesn't happen
