Finally Striking Down That Intrusive Obamacare!
What Happens if Obamacare Is Struck Down?
"The Affordable Care Act touches the lives of most Americans. Some 21 million could lose health insurance if the Trump administration were to succeed in having the law ruled unconstitutional." - NY Times
Americans Are Delaying Health Care Until Tax Refunds Arrive - Bloomberg
Those huge new tax refunds won't pay for ever-increasing healthcare costs. And waiting doesn't lower the bills at all.
Ok, so there's a few minor glitches for a couple of losers:
Employees Start To Feel The Squeeze Of High-Deductible Health Plans
deductibles have, on average, quadrupled over the last dozen years. As a result, even some people who have health insurance are having trouble affording medical care
Damn good thing we're not rationing healthcare or having them death panels. But wait...isn't cutting back on prevention, treatment and drugs due to their sky-high costs rationing?
Why one mom didn’t take her kid to the ER
“I was sitting there thinking, am I a bad person?” Clark says. “I’m weighing my daughter’s life against how much the bill is going to cost."
But won't we be OK at hospitals run by churches?
Tax-exempt hospital sues thousands of poor people while making millions - Ars Technica
An "especially aggressive" nonprofit hospital system in Memphis that made $86 million after expenses in 2018 and pays virtually no taxes has spent years relentlessly suing thousands of low-income patients over medical debts, according to a new investigation by ProPublica and local reporting-network member MLK50.
Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare runs six hospitals around Memphis, a city in which about 25 percent of residents live below the poverty line. The hospital system, which made $2.1 billion in revenue, charges low-income patients interest on their bills and regularly garners their meager wages when they don't pay up. The hospital system owns its own collection agency to pursue debtors.
From 2014 to 2018, Methodist filed more than 8,300 lawsuits for unpaid medical bills. Through the courts, it secured garnishment orders in 46 percent of those cases.
Never mind those lies. All right! Back to the good old days! GREAT AGAIN! #FDT
