Obamacare

This doctor sees serious problems ahead for our healthcare system.  http ://www.wnd.com/2015/01/doctor-america-seeing-shortages-of-critical-drugs/

The more we learn of the details of Obamacare in action the more distressing it becomes.  Among the items in this piece are the perverse incentives towards payments of taxpayer funded subsidies and reduced work hours.  Quote: "Even if there were no employer mandate, the Affordable Care Act would reduce employment. The Congressional Budget office estimates that the biggest effect of the ACA on employment is likely to be from workers voluntarily reducing their hours so they can take advantage of subsidies provided through health insurance exchanges."   http://humanevents.com/2015/02/02/giving-workers-freedom/

Another complication resulting from Obamacare.  Quote: "The truth is that the vast majority of conservatives oppose big government projects because they believe those policies don't work, are detrimental to the country, and in some cases, even harm the very people they're intended to help.  Obamacare's expansion of Medicaid is a case in point.  On the surface, this initiative sounds attractive to average, conscientious people: We're expanding health coverage for less fortunate people.  That's a good thing.  That's compassionate.  This line of argument polls pretty well.  But intentions are not the same as outcomes, and "coverage" does not equal "care." In reality, the policy of Medicaid expansion piles more patients into an already-strained and underfunded system that is a demonstrable failure -- and an insanely expensive one, at that.  Medicaid does not improve health outcomes for its beneficiaries, as compared to uninsured people."    http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2015/02/10/not-compassionate-obamacares-medicaid-expansion-failing-patients-in-california-n1955097?

Want to know how much Obamacare costs each tax payers per co-op enrollees?  Only $17,000.  Quote: "More than 500,000 people enrolled in health plans offered by nonprofit insurance companies created under the Affordable Care Act. And with the co-ops receiving an average of $108.7 million from the federal government, taxpayer-backed funding per enrollee topped $17,000. http://dailysignal.com/2015/02/11/much-taxpayer-money-obamacare-co-op-receive-per-enrollee/?
